I am lucky to have a Mini Dynalo amp which is a best match to DX200TI and SR1.

I have a Burson Soloist SL Mk2 which I use with the DX200 to power my Fostex TH900 mk2 and unmodified pair of Denon D2000 which both sound superb.
I've also used the DX207 powering both the Fostex and Denon and find they work brilliantly but don't come close to Burson paired with the DX200.

If you're not using the DAC section of the Gustard then I'd highly recommend a pure headphone amplifier. If you're looking at an all in one with a great mix of a DAC/headphone amp then I'd probably go for the Burson Play, unless of course you're looking to use very low impedance headphones.

I am using the LTA MicroZotl 3 right now with superb results. Wonderful depth and width with a realistic sound quality.

I just got a used HDVA600 amp to go with my HD800 cans, fed by the DX200. I've been running a 4.4mm to XLR interconnect cable from the amp8 analogue out and it really works good. I've only had it for one day so SQ conclusions are not possible yet, Except I really like it so far and that's what really matters. My intention is to set it up in the cabinet with the home theater especially the balanced out from the BDP-205 Oppo.
I use my DX200Ti with a Violectric 280 amp. I use balanced out of amp8 or amp1Ti and get amazing sound. I mainly listen with my Campfire Audio Vega or HD800S. Amazing control, wide and deep soundstage, just amazing sound. I love it.Anyone use their dx200 with desktop amp if so which do you use and find the best??

When you guys hook up your DX200 to an external amp what gain and volume settings do you use?
I use high gain. I put my amps volume at 12 o’clock and then raise the volume on my dap until I get the loudness I want. With HD800S it is around 85-100. The reason for 12 o’clock is to make sure the sound is balanced. Sometimes at a lower volume one side will be louder than the other.

DX208 on high gain volume around 130 playing DSD512. That's just where it was since I had the HD800 plugged into it so I left it there, works for me so far. Before I can try the DX200Ti I need another adapter in the collection..2.5 male to 4.4 female. And the wallet continues to scream!!

To my ears the volume is about 10-12 o’clock (12 o’clock for SR1 and 10 o’clock or less for sensitive CIEM Phantoms and Spartans.

Congrats! Where did you get yours modded in SG?
Try reach out to the guys at Music Sanctuary. They were able and willing to take on the mod. If you wanna try out my AMP8w before you decide if the mod is for you, feel free to drop a PM.

Hi guys,
I have just updated my DAP to the latest Ibasso official firmware version available (1.05.036), but when I try to apply Lurker´s latest add-on(1.16) the Android Tool shows "Found one ADB device" instead of "Found one loader device".
I follow all the steps:
1. Start AndroidTool.
2. Turn DX200 off.
3. Press and hold Play button.
4. Connect DX200 to PC USB port.
But there´s no way to enter the loader mode. I succesfully updated my DAP to the previous Ibasso firmware version and Lurker´s 1.13 add-on, but I don´t know why I cannot apply now the latest Lurker´s version.
I´ve tried three different USB C cables just to be sure the cable is not the problem, so there must be something else I am missing.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks!
