Should be getting my AMP4 from iBasso in less than a week. Once I get her and burn her in I'll do a review vs the AMP 5 module...I understand that the long awaited IT04 will be included with the goodies showing at the NYC CanJam.

Anyone from NYC here going to the CanJam? I'll be working the iBasso table with Jamato.
Me! Looking forward to trying out the IT04. Maybe there's a chance some Amp 4 modules might be there too?

Wait, the DX200 doesn't support quick charge? I've been using it with mine. Is that what killed the battery?


Hi guys,

Just an update on the availability of the AMP4. The item is not discontinued.

iBasso will be resuming production of this amp after the Chinese New Year, but there is no ETA currently. I will share any updates when I get them from iBasso.

Hope this helps.

That's great news. I honestly could not go back to AMP3 after hearing AMP4. Besides the bass (which is more due to preference), the AMP4 does everything better, or maybe it just has really great synergy with the Z1R.

Waiting for my DX200 to finish it's RMA is a test of patience. My iPhone does not compare all...

I'm using the same charger for the AK sp1000 and the dx200, it should not be a problem, the quick charge is activate only with the phones/players that support that protocol.

hi everyone,

i'm still deciding if i should get the DX200 as upgrade from my DP-X1.
i'm deciding between DX200 and Opus#2.
for those who heard both, which would suit slightly bright IEM (i use hidition nt-6 pro) better?
also which has a better UI (ease, less bugs)?

thank you~

Opus #2 would likely be the better pairing, and the UI is pretty bug free and really easy to use.

DX200 is a little brighter, more analytical. With Amp1 that is.

Amp3 they become closer in sound, but then you don't have the flexibility of having 3.5mm output.

here is a well informed comparison between DX200 and Opus#3 if that's any help:

With AMP5 or 4 I preferred the DX200 in all areas. To me, either of those amps takes the DX200 to a new level and it even betters my WM1Z though I still really like the Sony. Also when talking about soundstage the AMP needs to be mentioned or the information isn't of much use regarding the DX200. With AMP3, 4 and 5 the soundstage has good coherency and is large. With AMP4 it is huge but not stretched oddly as the imaging is extremely good.

I feel that the dx200 with the amp4 is brighter that then WM1Z, what's your impression?
For me the WM1Z feels warmer.
