Which headphone you prefer with Ibasso? i mean without external amp

All my headphones sound amazing without an external amp actually

Quick list:

Over-The-Ear Headphones:
Meze Classics 99
Ultrasone Dj One Pro
Ultrasone Signature Studio
Ultrasone Signature DXP
MOOH BT Headphones
Beyerdynamic Amiron

IEMs:
Beyerdynamic Xelento
HiFiMAN RE2000
HiFiMAN RE800
Dunu DK-3001
Dunu Falcon-C
Sennheiser IE800
Etymotic ER4-XR
Etymotic ER3-XR
Sennheiser M2 IEBT
Kinera H3
Simgot EN700 Bass
Fiio F5
FiiO F9
FiiO F9Pro
Oriveti New Primacy
Astrotec AM850
iBasso IT01
Mee Audio P2

At this point I'm actually having a blast with using all of the above with AMP5, without adding any external amp.

I do add iDSD Black Label Micro or Nano when using my smartphone or Tablet to watch a video, situation in which they help greately, but AMP5 does an amazing job with the headphones I've tried it with so far (the list above)

What do you mean new version? Not an entirely new model?

Paul said a few pages ago that there is a Cooper and a Titanium version of DX200 incoming, but I don't think he ever announced any other DAP. There is IT04 to look forward to as well from iBasso though.

After days of sourcing internationally and effortlessly, I finally found and placed order of the AMP 4! Cannot wait to be amazed by its holographic sound stage...

For people who are in a similar AMP 4 seeking mode, good news is that I purchased an extra. So PM me if you are interested:)

Still finding lineout from AMP1 the widest and less bright
...

Line Out? What external amp do you have AMP1 LO connected to? Soundstage width and the tonality coloring will be more of a function of your external amp pair up :wink:

Found out that DX200 could get quite hot when left it for 3 hours in a jacket pocket (at home) while breaking in with the supplied cable.
Hope the battery did not get hurt, as unit temperature was around 40ºC~50ºC measured by eye. DX200 really needs some fresh air all the time :)

How do you measure the temperature of a DAP with your eyes? Was it literally red-hot?

That is correct, the Burn-In cable can place quite a bit of strain on DX200, especially as it would be playing at quite loud volumes for the burn-in to be effective

I’m using line out with Rogue Audio Sphinx v2 and Focal equiped car audio. Comparing amp1 vs amp2 vs amp5, amp 1 sounds very natural and widest soundstage, amp2 very dull and amp5 super bright. I tried at couple of friends place with different setups and same results. Maybe all amps are tuned with headphones and iems in mind ( obvios function of dap)...

Used the RTi1 for the whole day today and I can safely say the synergy with the Dx200 (AMP5) was just incredible. Super wide soundstage, crisp notes, highly detailed and precise instrument separation. Great with acoustic and jazz.

so far AMP5 has been killing it. Everything sounds so good with them
