I wonder why they left off the Toshin, I'll be upgrading the AMP1 mkii to AMP1ti clone+ like I did on the dx200.

Sound like a solid plan.

Just thought of something. Why not implement a Linux barebones Tidal install like what Hiby R3 has? It seems to be the first instant-boot non android wifi devices with a proprietary linux OS to also have streaming music. Mango OS with Tidal should be doable.

I heard that only works for streaming and not offline. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The differences between thinking and having an idea VS actually making it happens is like.....Oceans apart.

The hardest thing to do is to keep the DAP at the hardware build, specs, PRICE, and all other stuff.

The DX220 already offers too much for what it already is when compared to other much more expensive DAP.

Anyone had CalyxM before? What do you think DX220 compare to CalyxM? I remembered CalyxM was famous for its amp stage with poor battery life.

I don't have the DX220, but I have the DX200 with Amp 1, 5 and 7 and the Calyx M. The Calyx M is spectacular. There is no other dap like it. If you only care about listening to music and you don't care about battery life, there is no dap with better sound and dynamics, the only thing that you need to know Calyx M has a warm sound and no EQ

Linux with Tidal offline is probably never going to happen, and that's fine. I'm saying that it would be a huge convenience to have streaming Tidal Masters/MQA within Mango OS.

Agreed, and what about that Qubuzz ? Or whatever

R3 recently added Qobuz, so there's no reason why Linux can't have a gaggle of apps. iBasso DX220 future is Mango OS w/ a bunch of apps with optimized Android from our friends Fidelizer and Lurker for everything else/max convenience.

You can listen to Qobuz in USB Audio Player Pro or use the Qobuz app.

Idk, I am still the kind that rather go to a bookstore....grab the CD...rip it....then store it on my MicroSD.

Should I start streaming stuff ?

Me too on the storing it on a MicroSD card. I usually buy DSD or FLAC online though.

The reason why I am looking to QoBuz is that they allow buying for offline usage. But could you use the purchased titles with other apps ?

Simple no

Those are both good options for converting 2.5mm bal to 4.4mm bal, for sure. But he was looking to convert 4.4mm bal to 2.5mm bal (female 4.4mm to male 2.5mm). Those are rare adaptors. SendyAudio has one, I posted pics before, and Penon also has one, both pigtail style.

There's another good choice for female 4.4mm to male 2.5mm as attached pic .

Looks great. How much is that short adapter? Is it using female 4.4 pentaconn?
