Do I have to download and install with similar way like Lurker FW or it can be done on the DX200 itself? Thank you.

Where do we usually find the latest Lurker firmware?

@Lurker0

I want to give DX150 a little more life and write a more in-depth article on how one can imrpove their experience with it.

I have links in my signature.

Does the new Ibasso firmware would replace the Lurker1 after installing in DX200?

Woah, sorry, my display is 43" so I usually read the signature on the left side, I had to search to find the clickable in the middle

Downloading it now.

 

[singleended5863]

I did install it into DX200 but do not see any change or replace L1 FW.

I am missing the instructions

Forgot what the whole process was...

If you take Xelento and Faclon-C, they are quite complementary, would give a good insight on what everything is

I wrote a little about each

https://audiophile-heaven.blogspot.ro/2017/11/Xelento-Elegance-Enthusiasm-Euphoria.html

Thanks for the reviews! I'll try Xelento, but not sure about Falcon-C - I have XBA-Z5 and want to look more into some armature ears now, Xelento in this class seems more promising.

Well, if you'd like to start off more cheaply, I personally listen to the DX200 with iBasso's own IT03 hybrid IEM's ($269). I think they have huge soundstage, excellent layering, separation and clarity. Detailed, but still with some warmth and musicality.
The Empire Ears Bravado has been garnering a lot of praise and sounds like it could fit your requirements.
I haven't yet heard the IMR R1, but that could be an especially good start too, because it has, by all accounts, all the sound qualities you're looking for.
However, importantly, it's also customisable in that it has 5 screw-in filters. You can choose whichever one you want, swap them over (takes a few seconds) with different genres etc.
I recommend this because figuring out what sound signature you like best personally is a huge part of the audiophile journey, and this one IEM gives you the options to start doing that without buying several different ones
Myself, the conclusion I've come to is that I like one kind of sound signature for most kinds of music, and a warmer, more organic and bass-heavy signature for rock

The problem is that.. I want to continue (I have AK70MKI + XBA-Z5) expensive as I have some prejudice that sometimes price leads to higher quality. By "Newbie in HiFi" I meant that I heard too few products and don't have rich experience with DAPs and ears. Neither I have clear picture what sound I like the most - I think that I want referenced clear and transparent sound with some body and air. So far I'm considering A&Ultima SP1000 but just can't miss DX200 as I read a lot of very positive feedback about it and it seems to deliver what I'm looking for. On another hand I have some doubts that SP1000 really worth to cost that much and (if it is really the best DAP on the market) I don't want to loose all the fun I can have trying different players and finding the best combo. I'm gonna spend some time auditioning DX200 with best ears combination from this thread to understand if I can move to it from set for a while to move on to next player next year.

What kind of music do you listen to mostly?

Jazz (mostly bop and vocal), blues, rock (classic, hard, progressive and alternative) and pop. Maybe some classics in the future

The bluetooth DAC/AMP function is nice. I tried and it works as should be. But it is lossy streaming, isn't it?
