Dang! Some of you guys went through a lot of hassle with beta version. I am lucky I have not touched anything until now. :grimacing:
No hassle install. As simple as 1-2-3.

Question to all,

How many hours that AMP8 need before it shows its full, true potential. From the get go or after 100 hours?

Balanced line out with great performances ? Especially those who worries about double amping other amp modules. We have to talk about Amp3.

What is better than Amp3 ? An upgraded/modified Amp3 with the inspirations from Amp1Ti and Amp8.

Curious bout this modifications ? It is the same caps values being used on Amp8 modifications....except, no MLCC

I see 4 caps 100 uF 16V (Elna Silmic?), which are 2 other caps?

You can check out those caps here from Amp8 Mod

https://twister6.com/2016/09/09/amp8-diy-mod/

The silver caps are TK 220uf/10V and Bigger one is Nichicon 470uf/16V, the brown one are United Chemicon 100uf/16V (not Elna)

Thanks! That was quick)).

Just curious:
1) Why this type of Nichicon (chemistry? Organic Polymer), since one of the most used ones are KZ Muse
2) The same for United Chemicon - there are KZ Muse, Elna Silmic II/Cerafine, Panasonics (it is probably FC, just forgot exact type - work well in digital circuits )

Question: Have you listened to AMP1 recently?

Every now and then, I go back to default AMP1 (single ended) and I find myself enjoying it as much (if not more) than other AMP modules that I have (yes, AMP8 included). This is DX200 (no TI or CU, just good ol' DX200) and I still think it is a great AMP and pairs really well with DX200 as intended - I would like to think also iBasso R&D team spent considerable amount of time on AMP1 to make it 'right / special' for the initial product launch / birth of DX200.

The only Amp1 that I find acceptable is Amp1Ti, and yes, I do go back to it once in a while. Yes, Ibasso is very dedicated into the productions of DAP and amp modules. I heard rumor that Ibasso maybe selling Modified Amp1 soon ? Idk, if Ibasso does, you are in for a treat again, if you love Amp1 stock, you will be head over heels for this.

Hi guys, if anyone is interested, I have written a review of the IT04 and posted it here: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/review/21143/
It's playing beautifully with the DX200 and AMP8 (sadly only a humble non-Whitigir unmodified version!) and I thought it might be of interest to some of you :)
