How does dx200 compared to Opus #2?
You get more function from DX200, with its multiple AMP modules, etc. But you get a one device one solution with #2, and it is simpler to just use it, while with DX200 you have a few steps to take, like Lurker's mod.
Opus#2 vs iBasso DX200 – Opus #2 is the Top Of The Line DAP from Opus, while DX200 is the Top Of The Line DAP from iBasso. They have similar abilities, but rely on slightly different firmware and hardware. Opus #2 is an all-in-one solution, while DX200 has interchangeable AMP cards. When it comes to their sound, the soundstage is similar in width and depth. The sound signature is fairly similar as well, with Opus#2 being a bit smoother, musical, and a touch less transparent while DX200 holds an edge in transparency and resolution. #2 tends to be a tad more organic in the long run, but they are pretty similar devices.
This is only with AMP1 for DX200, with AMP5, DX200 also gets more organic, but again, it adds to the cost. I think that one would be happy with either.
For hard to drive headphones, DX200 might have more power with AMP5, so this would be good to keep in mind
