@jessnie : Could you take a picture when 4.4 mm. plug into, and a 4.4 mm. plug doesn't nip your miter case? From the aboved twister6's pictures, it should nip.

It does nip the miter case a bit, but what I was saying is that it doesn't prevent you from plugging in the jack and the extent of the nipping doesn't bother me at all.

Emailed Amp3players this morning about the Amp 4 availability and had a response within minutes. They will double check with Ibasso regarding the stock due on 16 March and post on Head-Fi a definitive answer

I actually phoned them a couple of minutes ago, apparently they were told production of amp4 will resume after the chinese new year. But nothing has been confirmed yet by ibasso. So they're hoping to get a word from ibasso after chinese new year.

Wohoo! For how much everybody seems to love AMP4, it sure seems like a sweet AMP module for the already amazing DX200! The AMP5 sure is sweet already tho

Unfortunately none of my headphones and iems are terminated in 4.4mm if not i will be all over the amp 4

if you have 2.5mm balanced cable, then you can use ibasso's CA02 adapter in order to use AMP 4

Thanks for the suggestion, and yeah i do have a few cables terminated in 2.5mm but I guess I feel that to be impracticle for my use. And the AMP5 more than makes me happy.

I have a question this is from HiBy:

i talked with paul before and he said DX200 have '' DTA '' that is Bit perfect in android.. what happen here?

 

[artpiggo]

Headfonia posted some impressions on the DX200 vs. Hiby R6: https://www.headfonia.com/review-hiby-r6/4/

i talked with paul before and he said DX200 have '' DTA '' that is Bit perfect in android.. what happen here?

Not fair marketing from HyBy side. "DTA" in R6 is no better than in DX200. Considering that HiBy didn't mention DSD in their table, "DTA" in R6 is worse: DX200 allows 3rd party apps to playback native DSD, and R6 does not.

Please remember: whatever claims you read from HiBy, bear in mind that Android API does not provide an opportunity for bit perfect playback of 24 and 32 bit integer samples! All that HiBy claims is only applicable to sample rates. There is no a way for bit perfect playback of 32/384 using only Android standard API!

On the other hand, DX200 does provide a way for 100% bit perfect playback of any PCM (up to 32/384) and DSD (up to DSD256 via DoP), without modifications of apps. HiBy Music is the example of such an app

The bottom line is: iBasso DX200 is the first, and still is the only DAP in the world, which allows the feature called "DTA" by HiBy. OK, with my firmware, but it does not really matter, because for any other DAP there is no a way at all.

And, just in case...

Considering SoC used, they are not fair here as well. The correct values are: "4xA53 cores" for R6 and "8xA53 cores" for DX200
3GB of RAM? Increase of the cost and power consumption, and no real benefits.

So, R6 is only better than DX200 by "stainless steel frame" and QC3.0, and worse in each and every other row in the table, excluding screen resolution, which is equal.

Hi guys,

Just an update on the availability of the AMP4. The item is not discontinued.

iBasso will be resuming production of this amp after the Chinese New Year, but there is no ETA currently. I will share any updates when I get them from iBasso.

Hope this helps.

Amp5 is indeed very sweet ..it's smooth yet very detailed and wide . Love it .

I tried so many times between amp3 and amp5 and for some reason I still prefer the dynamics of amp3.
