Hmm, the DX228 is sounding good right now. Full, separated, effortless (clean and capable of picking up smaller details). Sounds a little bit too relaxed but that could be the iems. I've been burning it in continuously for a long time. Yesterday and today it got its first breaks in a while. Does that have any effect? I'm at around 170 hours, as high as nearing 190.

On certain songs I wouldn't listen to normally this is fun. Hearing details with some spacing. Instruments and things sounding more life-like. Makes some skip stuff interesting.





Don't know how these sound on youtube. Low res m4as on the iBasso on Mango OS. Like I mentioned, not like my hi-res Russian forum downloads made much difference. There's also some very weird bug with going back and forward through tracks with the buttons. Jumps. My Magni and HD650s sound a lot less engaging, but they also cost $450 rather than $3000.

time to burn in your ear... get use to it or enjoy...

If you're thinking of buying DX220, you better act fast. If you missed this batch, you might need to wait till July.
Info from local ibasso distributor that they need to wait till July for their next shipment.

To learn about digital EQ, you need a new thread....otherwise you are ways off topic.....lol. It is a can of worms....and at the end of the days, when the worms are cleaned up, you will realize that the correct way of General EQ usage is....cutting and not boosting. You cut all other frequencies while keeping the desired frequencies at 0.

It is amazing to see Ibasso investing into PEQ, and as fast as Ibasso in developing firmware, there are so much more excitement await !

Back to DX220! A wonderful DAP for it price.....and really guys....let the thing burn-in before you judges it

You don't need a thread for this, a simple reference is what you need.

There is always boost and cut. If don't agree, then it's fine.

Just tried a new toy before AMP9 release : Nutube AMP - Oriolus BA300S with DX220+my mod AMP8 , sounds more analog and full . However , I like the DX220's clairty more .

The Oriolus? Actually it sounds really sweet and adds an analog-like sound to music.

doing a short session with CFA Polaris V1.


and Atlas, the interesting part... pairing with DX220 can make the Mid a bit forward, but Hi mid and High is not refine and not separate clearly...
Really Unforgiving DAP... but I like it...

Figured it out and oh boy what a user error . Apparently I accidentally flipped off the power strip on button - oops.

Haha, user firmware issue! I did that with a laptop once. It finally explained why it was so slow and gave low battery warning.

Not only the pairing, but the dx220 does carry a more forward mid signature in itself

Can anyone test DX220 DAC mode with Usb-c to usb-c cable? Laptop doesn't recognise my DX220 as a DAC, however I can browse internal and SD storages. Usb-c to usb-a cable works well.
I have tested my Fiio M11, it perfectly works with usb-c to usb-c cable as a DAC.

Have you downloaded the USB/DAC driver from the iBasso website?
