I've added DX220 with the translation of the sheet along with a few miscellaneous information provided in the thread posted before in Head Gear.

Nice! Thanks a lot
I wondering if anybody knows what output impedance for the stock amp is

Hello fellow DX220ers,

Just got mine today. MQA files work fine in Mango, but streaming MQA like Tidal Masters has crackling static crap in the background, when compared with the same album on Tidal in non MQA.

Hope they sort this soon.

I'm on a trip so I only have AMP1MK2 w/ me. More impressions when AMP8 and me are reunited. Awesome screen, feel, form factor and build. For now, it does not have better synergy with Stellia than my M11, but too early to comment.

I have the Stellia. Give the DX220 100 hours or so. Excellent combination.

Here's an audio recording I made of the crackling:

Looking forward to it. I've been an iBasso fan since before the Pelican, no doubt the capacitors have not settled yet.

The MQA will fixed in the next firmware. Our team noticed this and it is being worked on.

Hey @Paul - iBasso, when will the DAC mode be usable?

There's also a bug where switching from DAC back to DAP mode that might mute the audio.

Earlier in the thread before, I have also mentioned that switching back from SPDIF mode mutes the audio as well. Has this been fixed?

When will be the first batch send to the international resellers?

I believe they already did and now we are waiting for second batch to USA?

Oh good. Native MQA support is a big selling point for me.

I want to believe))

Probably under 1 output impedance.

I think all the iBasso Amp modules are under 1ohm output impedance.

Amp 7 is 0.3
Amp 8 is 0.3

@Paul - iBasso or anyone please feel free to correct me if i am wrong

Three way comparison between DX150 (upper left) M11 (upper right) and DX220 sitting on my keyboard. The cores of the DX220 are clocked very low at 800mhz most likely to maximize battery life and reduce the effects of heat. M11 is as powerful as a mid tier android phone, DX150 has less than half the juice, and DX220 is not set up for max performance of non audio apps. Perhaps some apps make it go higher but not the benchmarking app. Perhaps Paul can comment; my guess is they chose the lowest clock speed that didn't affect Mangoplayer operation.

I don’t get the point of Bench-Mark for a DAP, and the need to comments as of why the speed is what it is....but that is just me. Perhap, I would Benchmark an Alien Laptop or Mc-Book for fun, even IPhone and smartphones

Because of speed in co-music-listening operations.
Rewind, volume control when start to play huge flac or dsd, using tidal etc. I faced(and facing) that a lot with all my dx200s and 150s.
