OK this music hobby can really take all my normal good financial sense away from me .
Thanks for all of the previous posts on here. I am now just considering taking the plunge and ordering the DX200, despite not really needing the feature I am wanting it for till June next year. I have the AK300 which has totally changed my music listening habits. After trying out streaming services in the past I am now doing 95% of my listening through Tidal, even on my home Hifi set up too.
So now I NEED a DAP that does Tidal offline, The AK300 will be sold.
I am at present reading through this thread and I am at page 350
so a fair way to go, but god it just makes me want to take the plunge now.
A few little questions I have though as still a few things unclear.
1 There is talk of a google play app in a firmware update i seem to recall. This I presume has not been done yet? So is it still a case of all the loading of apk files etc. The DAP I think will be used exclusively with Tidal and I may not even download any of my music on to it.
2 Does Tidal playback have the same quality as the normal DAP playback? There are a few threads on here which confuse me slightly.
3 I have the CA Lyra 2 , will these be a good match for the IBasso?
4 Would it be worth me getting the Balanced cable from Campfire to use this output ? If so are there other cable makers here in UK who coukd do a better job ?
5 The AK 300 is 7 months old and in good condition, but it has been used quite a lot. I will use this forum to sell it I think , how much will I lose on this deal, just a guide would be useful
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Also it looks like that here in the UK it is only Amazon and AMP3 who stock it so not much chance of getting a deal here.
So here I am 7 months after spending for me what is a lot of money on my endgame
portable set up........well I am looking again.
