Dusted my DX200 off. Haven't really used it much in the last year or so, but I wanted to start using it more.

First it seems like my battery might be on the fritz. It said it was around 27%, but kept shutting off. Also seems to be draining quickly. How can I get a new battery?

Second I updated Tidal and for some reason I only get audio on MASTER tracks. I tried changing the limited settings and re-installing the app, but no luck. Any thoughts? Running Tidal is a big reason I've kept it.

Go to an older version of Tidal like 3.5 or earlier. It is easy to change the battery.

Yep, replacing the batt is like batt in batt out, really easy and fun

I did it a while ago too

My battery could do with being replaced, any links to a replacement battery and how to install it?

Thanks. I had to send my DX80 in to have the battery swapped. This should be a piece of cake.

Hello thread, I was hoping you guys can help me make a decision.
My dx120 needs repair and I will send it in a week.
So I decided to grab an extra player, after reading many vague reviews I am left with either buying a new dx160 or a used dx200
But reviews say the DX160 is warm sounding and I really don't like warm daps
Can you guys tell me how the Dx200 compares?
Ideally I would prefer something newer but it doesn't seem like there are any really neutral or analytic daps on the market anymore
Before anyone suggest fiio m11, I don't use fiio, there company doesn't support anything they make longer then a few months, and the m11 cost about 150 dollars more in local used listing
Is the Dx200 analytic?
Is it still worth it sound wise?

I can sell you mine DX200. I like sound of it for me its very clean and analytical, detailed with AMP1 mk2. But i don't use it any more because of size. Located in Europe.

Pulled the trigger, been listening last couple days, amazing player, also grabbed an amp 8, but I actually think I like the amp 1 a bit better
Also seems to get about 7-8 hours on mixed flac/MP3 files as appose to around 6 and a Half to 7 hours on amp 8
Has any one tried to mod the batteries? Add some thing larger or mad it easier to swap out?

 

[Themilkman46290]

Does anyone no if its possible to buy seperate amp 1 or amp 1 mkii?

Coaxial output ot optical output, i believe it's need to be the same, but how much?
Maximum output resolution of lineout output?

Hello, all! Many years have passed since the release of the DX200, and much has been made of the merits of the relatively new DX 160, which is a beauty.

Purely on the level of sound reproduction, is it the opinion of those here that the DX200, while older and more cumbersome/slow, is still technically superior to the DX160?

Additional context: I've used the DX90 on the go and as a digital transport for home listening for many years. Lately I've been using a 1TB SD card that the DX90 is having difficulty indexing, so that put me in mind to upgrade the DAP to something that is next level.

The DX160 seemed perfect, but it has virtually disappeared from the market. Then I saw a new/old stock DX200 selling for $399 (same retail price as new DX160) via Amazon, with free returns should the unit be bogus. This made me wonder if the formerly TOTL flagship DX200 that so many have celebrated in the previous pages of this thread still ranks above the DX160 in terms of sound.

I listen exclusively to high-quality lossless files and use a DAP as a dedicated music player. I do not care for streaming and watching videos on the device or playing games, etc. I appreciate the lovely form factor of the DX160/240/300, but while the striking looks and screens are undeniable, they are not decisive aspects for me. I've also noted that various people have reported battery issues ~two years into having the DX160, whereas it appears that replacing the battery of the DX200 is relatively simple (though not as simple as with the DX90).

So I wonder what opinions people may have about the relative merits of the sound reproduction between the DX200 and the DX160, and the value represented by a "new" DX200 at $399 in today's DAP market.

I can't speak on sound vs dx160, but I bought a dx200 not long ago, at first I was thinking of the dx160, but also read the battery had some issues and wasn't easy to change and if the headphones jack breaks the amp card can be switched (and very easily repaired) so I got a dx200, then found one with a broken screen for dirt cheap (for parts) really happy with it, really sounds good

I have read the Dx200 oís a little better in sound but the dx160 has a bit more power
