I wouldn’t expect that DX220 will beat the DX200TI especially with amp8W and amp8EX and amp4sW.

What is amp8W versus just amp8?
Also why discuss DX200TI since it was a limited run and there are no more to be made.

Amp8W is a modified amp8 based on @Whitigir method.

And some of the 66 Dx200Ti are still traded in the market and have really not lost any value either. They are rare, rare, rare. And sweet to listen to as well.

Where is more information on this modification. What does it cost? What improvement is to be gleaned? Can it be performed by an end user ?

The only thing missing in iBasso DAPs: Parametric EQ
Would love to see this implemented in Mango Player. (and added to DX150/200)
P.S. I know there is Tonebooster's Plugin in UAPP. but It only has 6 bands and the UI is not user friendly for the small screen.

Got excited for a sec then

Agree. I wish more DAP incorporate PEQ.

Hey @Paul - iBasso

I noticed you mentioned that DX220 will be released soon in one of your Facebook posts. Is there any estimated timeframe you are able to give us when it will be actually released?

 

[singleended5863]

I heard there will be delay since ibasso are fixing the bugs in the software I guess. Hope they are waiting for their nu-tube amp module!

wish they'd just take my money already..hahahaha

The real question is how this will compare to the sp1000m. Hopefully the processor is much faster, that lag on the 200 is insane.

 

[fuhransahis]

Honestly these lag claims on the DX200 are getting overly exaggerated. It's not as fast as a smartphone sure, but... it's not a smartphone. It's a music player, and whatever lag there may be is ultimately negligible and not evident in my experience. Talking about literal microseconds of lag. Not that it wouldn't be nice for that small lag to not be there, but seriously not a big issue. For me that is, of course. To each their own.

One pain point for sure is the firmware update process as discussions on that take up nearly half or more of the 1000+pgs of the DX200 thread... hope an easier method gets implemented!

 

[Whitigir]

I have never had any lag issues on Dx200....or it never bothered me enough. It could also be that I don’t play games on Dx200.....I do have tons of DSD512 and 512gb MicroSD and it still isnt lagging enough for me to notice.

Perhap I am too old and even slower than the dx200 lag issues
