I don’t know Andromeda but the Amp8 has plenty of bass

Seems like my journey can't stop here so easy. My problem is that when using Andromeda with the stock Amp1 of DX200, treble and mid lost the quality and the only thing i hear good is bass. I'm not a bass head and this is super terrible and disaster for me. So do you guys think that upgrading to Amp8 will solve my problem?

What cable used?

What cable used?

I used the Andromeda's stock cable. I also tried to change to iBasso CB12 balanced cable and detail was better than the previous one but the bass quantity was still too much for me since i'm not a bass head. Meanwhile the Nano idsd black label worked very good with the Andro.

Amp3 would go great with andro.

When I bought Amp8 it made the DX200 a completely different DAP. It's less trebly and more bassy, but it's a very satisfying bass (and I'm not into unreasonably big bass either). Now, in comparison to Amp8, Amp1 sounds thin to me. Also, after upgrading to Oreo V2, I find my Andromeda a bit too bright with some worse quality recordings with Amp8. Also I'm using a not very expensive cable from Aliexpress.

I just got my Amp8 3 days ago. However, today when I was using my dx200, I noticed that there was some distortion whenever I was listening to piano tracks. It sounds like a bit of fuzzy static whenever each piano key plays. It’s also somewhat apparent in other types of music but not as obvious as on a piano based track. Any idea what it could be caused by and whether I should do a 1-1 exchange for the amp where I bought it?

Not familiar with these myself, but a lot of people report preferring Andro with slightly higher output impedance sources- maybe try adding a 2-3ish ohm impedance adapter?

Need more burn in time

I did hear distortions with newly bought Amp8, and it would go away about 150 hours mark or so. But distortions could be caused by many different things. So in all honesty, if you could come back to the shop and physically exchange it, I would ask them to allow you to audition it.

The distortion I heard was very strange, it only started happening since 8-10 hours out of the box, and slowly disminishing until 120-150 hours approximately and gone

It can take a while for the caps to form in the AMP8 and the rest of the circuit. The circuit is very sensitive to changes so you will hear these changes.

Absolutely a beast of an amp modules! Love the Amp8, it has so much capabilities

Ugh** I love Despacito !! Allow me to share the picture again

I am sorry about the dirty background* please pay no attention to it ! Just the stuff that I do

Why don't you just use the youtube app?

Now you mentioned it. I just used stock apkpure app and found the YouTube app. It is awesome APK app is stock app, you can get so many free app

That is exactly what my colleague said. He suggested me going for a new dap with higher output impedance like AK SR15. Do you think the iFi EarBuddy or iFi IEMatch will help ?
