I think Twister6 did a review like this.

Thanks, found them on Twister6's DX220 Review : DX200 (amp8) vs DX220 (amp8) – DX220 has a blacker background, a little more body and a little wider soundstage.

I think i can hold back this time.

For those interested, here is a summary on the iBasso AMP9 so far. Enjoy!

Didn’t somebody with a China source mentioned that at mid to end of July ?

Hope the price tag will still be 199$, not skewed up like Fiio AM3D with THX AAA technology and 179$ Retail.

Why my ibasso dx 220 is so hot ?

 

[Whitigir]

Because it sound good ?

Anyways, the dx220 gets wam, especially when it play high-res or screen in with streaming such as YouTube. So, don’t try and wrap it in a blanket or towels

Because its working.

The two DAC chips inside will draw 400mA plus, add that to the current draw from the processor, RAM etc and you get a significant power drain which in turn generates heat which is dissipated efficiently through the case. This makes it feel hot/warm.

I am playing streaming with case and charging.it is so hot , it is ok ?

$199 is a price tag for amp modules with your typical opamp ICs and caps. You are replacing it with a more expensive Korg NuTube component which gonna drive the cost of material up. This is not some certification tech, we are talking about a physical more expensive component with an updated mechanical design of the module to host it. I would be very surprised if the price remains the same, but I'm sure it will be reasonable (will find out soon, very soon ).

That is why your wallet has to be ready once it is released. I am afraid amp9 wouldn’t be limited edition.

I would recommend putting it on one side if charging and playing music at the same time, this way the bottom are gets a bit more contact with air which helps with heat dissipation. Generally though nothing wrong with using it while charging, minus the extra heat, unless you live somewhere where it is like 40c outside and without climate control. Not familiar with batteries so not to sure if the extra heat is contributing anything negative to it.

Probably at the end of this month

July would be the latest.
