Picked up a DX200 from a head-fier today.

I must say I'm really impressed with this unit so far using amp1. I'm comparing this against the LG V30.

Tidal works great. Not so much amazon music.

Can't wait to get home and slip in the micro-sd card.

I'm comparing using JH Roxanne II and I can say the dx200 puts a smile on my face listening to some of the same tracks on tidal hifi. The LG V30 drove the roxannes fine but the dx200 + amp1 just makes it come alive. Separation and soundstage are on another level.

I think I'm going to put my Audeze Deckard up for sale now. I need to get the 2.5 to 3.5 adapter so i can use amp3.

Thats a huge compliment for DX200. I guess first thing came through your hearing was how black background and dynamics DX200 really is. Btw, it makes a great source/dac too. Have you tried hook DX200 thru line out to your Deckard Amp?

Forgive me I am no technical I am afraid so this sounds promising but not clear to me. I dont use an SD card I just save it to the DX200. I thought it had to be a mirror file?
I have both Tidal and Spotify on my Android phone as well as an app called APK Export. Using this app, I export a backup copy of Tidal to myself via email then copy it to my DX200 and install with File Manager.

I have an iphone so not sure I could do that?
I dont have emails set up on my phone either as I would get bombarded with work emails.
Qobuz is only a consideration, but it also has isssues similar to Tidal apparently. Thank you for your help with this

I am cutting back my subscription to Tidal and going more to Spotify as it has far more classical playlists.

If Spotify ever does a lossless service I would consider . I will probably have to stick with Tidal as it does not look that easy to get the qobuz app on the 200
I also had trouble getting the Apple Music app and the audible app to work on the 200. Both just went to a white screen when i went to log in

Despite Spotify not offering lossless files, I can hear little difference between it and Tidal HiFi.

I have never compared with my 200 , but on my home Hifi the difference is huge. Spotify bright, thin compared to Tidal Hifi
