Time to sell my well used but trusty DX90?

Keep it mate - I still have mine. It's still an excellent compact no frills DAP with an easily replaceable battery.I still have an old iBasso amp/dac as well. The D6. Just won't die and sounds great.

The DX200 is heavily discounted atm here in AU - hopefully they drop the price even more and I can grab one. I only paid 140USD for the DX90. That's how I buy my gear - I wait.

I didn't see much comparison of the AMP4 vs AMP4s vs AMP8 modules; does anyone have experience using at least two of them? The description on iBasso's website makes them seem more similar than different.

Amp4 ỉa early version of amp4s if I am not wrong. They are designed for more sweet midrange. I don’t know if amp4/amp4s can drive the headphones aka cans but amp4s can handle IEMs / CIEMs or using desktop amp with amp4s as in my situation.
Amp8 is designed to drive the cans and also IEMs /CIEMs for more power.
I own both before but sold the amp8 I modded as amp8W and like both their SQ.

Wow that firmware came out fast! I was starting to expect it to come out after amp 9
Very emotional sound with this pairing. :)
