Ahhh, finally I've returned from vacation and layed hands on amp9) I've a little hiss with all my IEMs on high gain, but there's no problem. But one thing shocked me, I've hot-swapped amp8 for amp9 and...amp9 easily drive Diana without any hiss or anything else. Marvelous sound!

No hiss on the amp9 with IER-Z1R on high gain (125 volume). Does your IEMs have high sensitivity? I read that quite a few people here experience hissing with the Solaris which is a highly sensitive IEM?

@Paul - iBasso

I just purchased the DX120 on 07/29/19 Invoice ID 52934. Can you change this to Earth brown instead of sky blue? I forgot to pick the color. The transaction ID is 4EY872997R2207029. I would have cancelled the order and re-ordered however i didnt see an option to do this from your website. Ill get a review going for you guys when i can, unfortunately i only have the Fiio X5ii to compare to.

They are usually really responsive and quick via email; but remember the time difference!

Wow! quick reply. Thanks Paul. Ill definitely be posting a review when i receive the unit. I ordered some items to solder up a balanced cable for my hifiman 400i's so ill likely do a review once i get all my stuff together and properly test the balanced output aswell.

quick question though does the balanced output follow this wiring?

TRRS 2.5MM

just report back on my mac connection issue

Appears speculation here is correct , USB-C to USB-C won't work on mac because of confusion with thunderbolt.

USB-C to USB 3.1 with an adaptor seems to work a treat even with a long 1.8m amazon basics cable.

@Paul - iBasso only issue is when in Mango mode and you press pause on dx220 it drops out of DAC mode and start blasting music through the speakers, can be embarrassing in an office environment . This is done out of habit as all the controls work as expected so it's natural to press pause

Thanks for cumming back and letting us know. It feels good to isolate an issue.

Hello to everyone ,
I searched in vain for tempered protective glasses for the DX 220, your help will be welcome if you know any.
Thank you in advance
Hey I heard that the tempered glass screen protector decreases the screen sensitivity by quite a bit. Maybe it's better to get a protective case instead? If you are afraid of screen scratches, just use the film protector included in the box. Unless you are carrying your player in your pocket with knives and keys :S
