Anyone else get a weird click sound while pausing from Spotify?

Otherwise still digging this.

This pairing has plenty of air on the top. Highly recommended.

iSine20?  Heard it as CanJam NYC, noticeably v-shaped sig.  Had only 10-15min with it, but found soundstage width to be so wide with DX200 that imaging of a sound was messing with my head

isine10! I feel it is more engaging than the isine20 hence got it instead. The staging with DX200 is so immense and the depth & width are so well presented. =)

When will the amp card be released?
I am looking forward to it.

Anyone compared the AK120ii to the DX200? I like the rich, smooth and grain free sound of the AK120ii, wondering if upgrading to the DX200 would we worthwhile strictly from a SQ standpoint.

Also curious to know how the similarly priced L5 Pro compares and surprised it hasn't come up in any discussions yet...

i have heard both the lp5 pro and ak120ii. Dx200 has improved staging and extension. It will make ak120ii sounds congested. For the LP5 Pro it is more exciting than dx200 but micro details wise, dx200 wins.

Same here preferred the iSine10 over 20. It sound more realistic than 20. Overall though, the iSine feels like listening to a full-size headphone. Especially, with DX200. However, I have comfort issues with the design.

I also managed to demo X5III compared with DX200 using my NT-6. X5III has more mid bass quantity, solid yet not boomy which is nice imo. Previous DAPs I tried that has mid bass hump tend to be a boomy. However; DX200 can go lower and feels a bit thicker. X5III seem to have more treble sparkle but feels a bit congested compared to DX200. X5III is immediately fun sounding. DX200 is on the analytical side. It feels that DX200 needs to be at higher volume to achieve the same level of treble sparkle of X5III. Still, Sounstaging, instrument separation is still more defined with DX200.
 
It's really a toss up between the 2 and depends on personal preferences will decide which one is better than the other. IMO, DX200 with EQ can achieve what X5III can do.

​ I got em both right here and you just gave a very balanced non fanboy assessment.
Good is what you like. Whatever folks choose good luck to them and be happy we got so many different flavors to choose from. They all got unique twists/flavors so there is something out there for everyone. They just gotta find it.

I got the iSine coming in to try with the DX. Worried about fit but my EX1000 are not known for their comfort so..

Thanks for your impressions. So you basically consider the L5 Pro an upgrade over the AK120ii?

I have a new issue with my DX200. Please see video in link below. The android OS has a mind of its own and will jump around the menu without me touching the screen or buttons.

I know my unit is already due to be returned for a different fault, but I could really do with some reassurance that this type of issue isn't going to continue recurring into the future with the replacement. So far the sound quality is great, but the quality control for the physical build, and GUI are somewhat lacking considering the price!

Thanks

James

I know cost is a taboo subject on Head-fi, but not really a toss up if you consider DX200 is double the price. I'm still waiting to hear both before I decide if the DX200 is worth paying the extra for the type of sound/music I like. X5III not in UK yet & DX200 difficult to find anywhere in stock but do have both pre-ordered so looking forward to comparing as not had a dedicated DAP since having a ZX2.
