Does it detect a touch better if you hold the metal body at the same time? I used to have a DAP that was very poor at detecting a screen touch unless I was holding the case of the player.

Good observation, remind me of some old touchscreen phone. The demo unit was not covered with case, so the player is technically grounded via my hand and might explain why I have better touchscreen response. Perhaps icefalcon can do that comparison test for you.

Do we have a price and how well would this potentially do with HD650/ZMF Blackwood?

Reached Singapore last night, headed to Zep just now to try out DX220.

Tested with same playlist mixtures of FLAC and DSF on both unit.

Vol 75/150 (50%) High gain DX220 Amp1
Vol 35/100 (35%) Low gain Hiby R6 Pro

Immediate different is the stage height feel a touch higher (maybe due black blackground?) on DX220 but width/depth equal. Hiby mid sound more upfront in comparison. Sub bass on Hiby feel more authoritative with each note end sharper. But switching between both and just play the same test playlist, I lose track which player I’m listening to. In short, both sound very close to my ears if I stop analysing sound.

Observation other than sound aspect:

1. Screen is big and sharp. Almost edge to edge with good color representation.
2. UI feel a bit sluggish but not as bad as I expected. No undetected touch. Most likely can be optimised by update.
3. The knob cap is more wobbly than N8. Before click is registered, the volume cap actually wiggle around. I keep pressing the knob to power on... habit from N8 usage.
4. Buttons, especially Power button at the top, difficult to feel/touch.
5. DX220 feel bigger and sharper around edges compared to R6 Pro pebble-like design. However R6 Pro feel much denser due to weight/size ratio. The Pro also fit within my small palm better.
6. Built quality feel solid except for the knob cap mentioned above. Might/Hope be fixed in final production.
7. Like the exposed microSD card slot on DX220 for easier card swap.

Was the volume matched by ear or spl meter?

Curious why high gain and low gain?

What earphones did you use?

Single vs balanced?

Thanks for your impressions

My crappy ear. FW10K on SE, stock cable.

I rotated the volume knob on DX220 for few seconds, gave up as the step is quite fine. Just flick it to High Gain and fine tune from there. There’s 3 gain setting on DX220.

On R6 Pro, the different between Low and High gain is not major, only 4-5 steps different on SE output.

That look awful in term of touch sensitivity... my experience with it is much better. No missing touch. However there’s noticeable lag between press.

LOL dude, it was MY fat finger and me being exhausted from work that caused the "not responding". I hit the SD Card button twice...one turned it on the other press turned it off. For f*cks sake, pay attention to the video. There isn't any lag "between press".

@SteveOliver no, that isn't the reason. See above.

Can’t blame the viewer if the video itself is bad or misleading

Dude you got to be kidding me. Are you a troll or what here? lol

 

[icefalkon]

Well that was easy.

I want to know dx200 amp1 mkii compare to dx200 amp1

MkII is a Modified Amp1 being inspired by Amp1Ti

Take it with a grain of salt...because that is what I have been reading (observing) around here...I don’t have any mean to clarify it for you

 

[icefalkon]

It's supposed to be better than the Ti AMP1. I don't have a Ti AMP1 to compare it to. It's ok, but I'm using your AMP8 Vince.

Does the list of playlists sort in alphabetical order?

I name my playlists with my own naming system, so if the dx220 displays the list of playlists in alphabetical order i’d be super happy.

The HiBy R6 does not...because the ubiquitous HiBy app does not. And it drives me nuts, as I have 150 playlists on the r6.

No idea. I don't do playlists.

@icefalkon , is the PMEQ available on the unit you have, or is it going to be delivered as part of a future FW update? If it is available already, when you can, could you please share a screenshot?

Thanks in advance.

Here you go. The EQ is vastly improved, that's for sure.
