The end of the month. It is well worth the wait! all for Enjoying the Music!

Can't wait. Will it be a limited run, e.g., another 250 units or so, or it stays as a regular product?

I'm very much looking forward to this. Will the iBasso site be the best place to purchase for those of us in the US?

Sorry to say, but this looks like the Donald Trump edition (tasteless gold plating).

what do you think?

I think I want AMP4 Au/Cu.

Switching from AMP1 Au/Cu to AMP4, the first impression I feel likes I come back to a normal DX200+AMP4. The weight and thickness of notes/vocal of AMP1 Au/Cu (that @artpiggo described) is gone, but I still feel a bit expansive soundstage, a bit daker background and noticeably coherence of sound. It implies that AMP Au/Cu housing significantly affects on overall tonality.

@irablumberg : Design and Colour are subjective individual preference. For example, my favourite colour is green, but I dislike bacteria-greeny from oxidation of typical copper cable.

Ok. Here is my problem. Once I listened DX200 Gold plated Copper yesterday. Now I feel that all musics from other portable sources become so dull and not lively anymore.

Any advise?

Unless it was meant to be a rethorical question I would suggest to use Amp3 balanced line out to connect to Alo Continental Dual Mono as an external tube amp. Adds life to portable music IMO.

That's really interesting, thanks for sharing!

After I spent some time with @icefalkon at CanJam NY, I decided to bring back from storage my old LCD-XC.

I forgot how nice big cans sound! Iems are more practical and the sound is more intimate, but with a nice pair of cans the bass, the soundstage is a totally different dimension.

The amp4 is a great companion and drives the XC perfectly.

Hey bud, I'm glad I was able to convince you to try your LCD's again! They sound amazing on AMP4 don't they??

Oh yes, they sound good!!! And the amp4 does an amazing job driving them, I’m really surprised.

The dx200 is a little jewel.

I also feel that iBasso's firmware is top notch, literally never ran into an issue with DX200, it simply works. OFC, like @KEV G I also tend use mostly folder browsing and to organize my collections from CDs ripped to flac (sometimes with large resolution scans of their cover art lol), but I really haven't ran into any single issue with DX200 so far. Everything simply works for me.

Also, if one needs more features, there's also the Lurker's Mod out there

Yep I stick with folder browsing. And the stock firmware has held up well for me so well. So didn't even get the urge to try lurker's firmware mod. Mango mode on Dx200 and with AMP4 driving my Custom Art Harmony 8.2 (with a silver plated copper cable terminated in 4.4mm or OW Audio No.5 copper cable terminated in 4.4mm) or Ultimate Ears UE18+ (with UE 2.5mm balanced cable and 4.4mm to 2.5mm adapter), it just is awesome.

I just bought a brand new DX200 from ibasso and have tried to install apps via google play like Spotify and other music streaming. It said “installed” but I could not see the apps at all on my unit. Anyone has this problem before? Please help. Thank you.

It said “installed” but I could not see the apps at all on my unit.

In Google Play settings, there is an option to add icons to the desktop. Check if you have disabled it for a reason.

I just tried to install the Onkyo HF player through web browser of DX200 and it shown this:
