What if one of the future Amp modules could be designed for non-portable use?

Why should it connect to DX200 via internal bus, and not via line or digital output? iBasso already produces some amps and DAC/amps, for not so portable use!

Because not all want a 999 things of audio, for me something like the amp of astell and kern, can be perfect...
The ak amp is 8.3 vrms

What if one of the future Amp modules could be designed for non-portable use? It could be as large as needed, meant strictly for desktop use. Early candidate for Amp 6? And Amp 7 could be the same but a tube amp?

I really like this idea, so iBasso can produce a new powerful tool without the limits of the space.

Because there is the convenience of not having to buy a separate dac to go with that separate amp. It makes for an all-in-one solution. No need to buy a separate dac/amp combo as well as the dac section is already great.

I have AK Kann and DX200 AMP3. All I can say, DX200 wins in terms of SQ except bass. I like Kann's low freq, more detailed and textured.

But the battery life is a bit short on DX200. I really hope its possible if there is additional battery along with new AMP module.

I could write almost the same. I had AK Kann and I have DX200 Amp1. The Past Simple regarding to the Kann is the answer. In terms of SQ not the same league evan comparing to the Amp1. Waiting for the Amp3

Speaking of portability, how exactly are people carrying the DX200? I know it has cases, but are most people hand holding it? Putting it in pockets? It can be quite cumbersome in the pocket.

Do whatever I usually have dx200 or Wm1z in my back pack and do random shuffle mode on my facvorite folder, then on the table at the office

Are you running it via Bluetooth in your backpack?

It isn't as slim as a phone of course but I've had no problem fitting it into my front pockets, slim fit dress pants 90% of the time I use it, during my commute.

EDIT: I actually find it harder to fit with jeans than dress pants, but all depends on your clothing so ymmv. Imo. Fwiw. Tbd. Byob.

With or without case? Maybe that’s my issue. I have it in its leather case...

Just made a late edit to my prior post but I find it harder to fit when using jeans, so it of course depends on your clothing. But I always, always have the case on. Would rather sacrifice a bit of comfort than to risk it getting scratched etc.

It is in my 505 Jean left pocket right now.
Feels ok.
Short is better though.

Nope, just a cheap pair of IEMS I rarely listen on the go, very distracting. Top tier gears are better enjoyed in a quiet place like your own office, or private room
