[Paul - iBasso]

This is a great place to come and get the latest news. It is where I get mine.
 
We do not have a firm price at this time. It will be more than the DX100.

How much is/was dx100?

 

[DWbirdseye]

Right around $800+

How much is/was dx100?

How much is/was dx100?

 
 
Mine was a 2nd batch DX100 (very soon after release), and that cost me $570, but bear in mind that that was 4 and a half years ago.
 
 
EDIT: actually, now that I think about it - that was a second payment, so first one was probably $250, making total of around $820
 
 
 
Early estimates of DX200 price, in this thread, were mostly before we found out how much work has gone into the DX200, to develop it to a high standard of performance. So, it doesn't surprise me if DX200 now turns out to be $950, although I think it is a shame if it is expensive, as it will put it out of reach of many ordinary audiophiles around the world.
 
Still, I trust iBasso to produce a DAP that sounds better than wretched Sony S-Master

 
I just hope they have a fully-functioning firmware

Since there is still no info, for fun, I bet on $929 for DX200 and $679 for DX120 

 

 

[Mython]

I heard they were bundling a free DX120 with every DX200 purchase!

 
 
 
Maybe I was misinformed...

 
 
 
Joking aside, I wonder how the DX120 compares to DX200 in terms of Sound Quality (I don't really care about bells & whistles)

 

[esm87]

So were looking at $1000 give or take. Being in pounds in uk a fair few hundred, now this will be interesting. May subsidise my phone and mojo

For starters, I'm hoping for hiss-free compatibility with an assortment of iems, but with enough power to drive with weight and authority.

Translation:   LPG performance, but with less hiss, when driving EE Zeus CIEMs!

How did you know what I was thinking?

Now, that (expecting a Zeus XR in some weeks) would be very nice indeed

 
Picked up a used DX80 recently (just out of curiousity), but that one will probably be sold after the DX200 has arrived.
Not sure if I will also sell my DX100 by that time, as I still love that daps sq / signature

 

[Rockcoon]

1k is not so bad. But 850 would be better

 

[Dithyrambes]

1k for any dap is too much. Had to be max in the 800s really. Once you go above3 figures, even with a great player, competition is stiff. I thought the pricing of the fiio x7 was perfect albeit the product wasn't. Shows how many people are in that price bracket.

 

[daijobudes]

Count me in.

 

[Gerryhatrick]

$1000 would be too much for me particularly with the state of pound sterling ( brexit schmexit)

I'll hang on to my dx100 and onkyo dx1. My dx100 cost £550. Will the dx200 really be twice as good?
