My mistake, no playstore , I did a reset and it went away, was a leftover from an addon... Sorry. My bad.

no Worries... at least there's clarification...

Yeah i felt same on AMP 1. It sounds much different than previous fw. More spacious and sparky, less analogue.

Same with AMP8.

+1
Upper treble come out, and quite detail

 

[fokta]

let me be the first one said this.. I don't like the new sound signature of FW...
The Mid Bass become roll off. even with the current set up which is warm, still no body in the bass..
sigh

let me try a couple of days

That does seem slightly fast. Last night, I had 24/96 files playing, Mango OS, Amp9, 45 volume, high gain, hybrid IEM (Oriolus Mk2 via iEMatch). It took 4 hours from 100% to 45%. On 16/44 and 24/96, I typically get 1 hour from 100% to 90%. But it's not a constant drain so you should check by running until low. I've had mine for just over 2 months now and it gets used every day.

That's too short, your unit must be broken. I get much longer battery life with my DX220

My DX220 has been playing 512 bit / 944 gHz music for a month at AMP9 full volume, running an olympic stadium's entire speaker system.

Believe me or not, after a month of continuos runtime the battery shows just 96 percent ! At the current performance, the battery is expected to last for 25 months.

Thanks iBasso, this device is a wonder

Sounds stellar! Enjoy!

I ditched FiiO M11 that had snappy UI and good battery life because DX220 sounds better. That's all I care (battery is good enough). I was merely providing data.

I installed the Lurker firmware. Google Play came in, but I think Google Play is more of a disadvantage. You need to sign in with a google account, often pops up notifications about my Gmail etc. , it starts downloading and running unnecessary services like Google Play Protect antivirus.. Wasn't APKPure just better ? You could instal anything by one-tap and every application was already there.

 

[ddmt]

Is it possible to revert back to the previous firmware?

Isn't it because you have installed Gmail by yourself?

it starts downloading and running unnecessary services like Google Play Protect antivirus

Never saw such a beast even on my phone. Did you ask Google yourself?

I've disabled autoupdates and disabled Google protection initially, and install only apps what I need. No problems.

I did also quick measurements of battery life.
My setup: DX229 with latest firmware (.202) and Lurker0 add-on. Android Mango Player. Set 'high' gain and 'high output AMP9', volume 125 with RHA CL2 Planar. Wifi and BT switched off. I did try to avoid to switch on screen. Battery was quickcharged to 100% with QC3.0 supply.
Listened Deep Purple's ''In Rock'', ''Burn (30 anniversary remastered)'', ''Fireball'' and "Machine Head", DSD128, stored in internal storage. Total length is about 200 minutes.

DAP 'ate' 14% each hour.
Of course, I expect after <50% of charge battery behaviour might be a bit other..

 

[Paulo Abreu]

... DAP 'ate' 14% each hour....

Exactly. In my tests it "ate" around 13% per hour, but I didn't play DSD and it was in Mango mode with a much lower normal listening volume.

Don't be confused with 'numbering' of volume level in MangoOS: in android you have 150 steps, in MangoOS only 100 (means, levels are the same, but granularity just different).

My earlier conclusion for MangoOS that it consumes somehow more power. I will do later another testing for listening the same DP albums in MangoOS and report.

 

[twister6]

I'm getting around 8hrs of playback with a stock amp1mk2, 2.5mm balanced output (low gain) playing at normal listening level a mix of mp3/flac files with display off and wifi/BT off, just occasional checking to note the battery level.

 

[xenoVa]

Edit: Done it

I will stick with Lurker firmware because it is much faster.

 

[xenoVa]

Lurker's firmware is quite good, my only concern is Google Play Services because it is not necessary and probably slows the device. I am working on erasing Google Play & Services completely. APKPure is more than enough to install any app.

By the way, my display "Luminance" setting in Mango OS is all the way down with black background. I still find this to be too bright in bed...

This morning 4am (100%) to 10:30am (2%) with 16/44 files.

Did u play it under balanced or unbalanced mode?
