No, I meant amp2,3,4

Oh, Ibasso hasn't said anything about BF yet. FiiO has but it is mostly to clean out their inventory, at least that is what it look like, no new stuff.

Seems like Amp5 is out in China. When can we order it in the US?

Everything is recommended to order from Ibasso website directly

Amp5 still wasn't showing up on the US website when I checked ten minutes ago.

Then the amp5 of which appears in China are more likely testers units

The DX200 with amp4 is great. I have about 30+ hours on the amp now. I am using the HD700 and the amp controls the headphones superbly. I am only on volume 70. The clarity, transparency, timber, and soundstage are all top class. Macy Gray sounds like she is performing just for me on the stripped album. Everything sounds so good with this amp. I am really happy with it. I need to switch back to the amp3 and see if the difference is as big as it seems. The amp is just effortless to me. From memory the DX200 is more clear than the P2. The P2 has great resolution but adds a touch of warmth. The soundstage seems a bit wider on the DX200, depth seems the same. It is just preference of what kind of sound you like. Both seem actuate to me, just different. What a great time to be into listening to music! I can’t wait to read @twister6 review of the amp 4.

Anyone knows where new FW 2.7.185 could be downloaded from?

 

[Bastianpp]

So, the amp 5 is like the amp 2? 3.2 vrms is the same power O.o

Good to see these bugs being fixed, but that is a heck of a lot of "bad" bugs for V2.7 software. Poor developers? Poor design? No QA? Rushed to market? Must have been bug ridden with previous versions. No wonder so many people were complaining about the software in reviews on the net.

My experience with poor quality software such as this is that there might be some fundamental design flaw with spaghetti code. You fix one bug and create two. Hopefully this isn't the case, and the code has been refactored sufficiently well. This player is at the top of my list, so I hope this to be true.

The DX200 can play ISO files? That's good. I have about 100 ISO files and I'd rather not convert them all to .dff if I can avoid it.

I have not met any of those bugs actually, except for maybe the speed of the UI which could have been better. Everything else has been buttery smooth for me.

Good question about ISO files. Are we talking about ISOs with DSDs on them, or typical FLAC Redbook ISO ? I can test when I have time, but I don't have any DSD files currently.

ISO DSD. JRiver can play them on the desktop, but other software players I’ve used on my iPhone such as with HF Onkyo you need to extract the .dff files first.

I can upload an ISO file on to Dropbox for you to try if you want? Ripped from an SACD.

Good to know. This was the most annoying one that happened all the time, especially when someone was trying to talk to me. I stopped using the button altogether...

Mango Player plays SACD ISO, even DST-encoded, but gapless playback does not work with them, at least last time I've tried it.

HibyMusic and UAPP play SACD ISO much better.
