Sorry about that! I was playing with a SE100 today and compared to the DX200, it was much more refined, with better build quality etc. But as for sound I wasn't able to compare.

Since you wasn't able to compare the sound, I assume you are talking about "build" refinement, not the sound? I heard SE100 at the CanJam, it was OK, but not the same technical sound performance as DX200 w/amp8. DX220 w/amp8 is in a class with other summit-fi flagships.

All good. I can get a DX200 cheap so I may get that to use with my AMP8 for now.

Really ? Only SE100 ? Even Dx200 was already tackling WM-1Z and SP1000.

Performances from sound reproductions that you can hear, and then the hardware that would leave many other companies scratching their head as of how and what made this device a possible.

The Dx200Titanium took it up another notch. I can’t wait to see what the Dx220 have in itself

HBB claims DX200 is the most overrated gear in the history adding Aside from other gear, Mojo obviously beats DX200.

I believe you are just joking with sp1000.

What/who is HBB? Not that it really matters anyways.

Many prior Mojo owners here, including myself, would wholeheartedly disagree with that.

Couldn’t agree more. Mojo owner here and my Mojo caught dust since I own DX200 then DX200TI and DX220 soon.

Ok @Whitigir do your stuff. What are we seeing here?

Amp 1 mark 2

How does it compare to other amps?

Amp 1, amp (1) ti, (amp 7) and amp 8
particularly have my interest.

Ok lets see...do a refined search for iBasso DX200 reviews and you see an astronomical amount of positive 4 and 5 stars. Lets go one step further, you say this HBB as if everyone here should know who that is...and yet we don't.

A number of people here are reviewers...and a good number of those have already A/B'd the SP1000 and the AK380 vs the DX200. I am one of them.

So...where do you get your information from @Researcher?

Now we move onto the DX220 which, to my ears, is even more refined than BOTH versions of the DX200...

I can assure you, at the Axpona Show in Chicago last weekend...the AK people did NOT want me to A/B the DX220 against their SP1000 like I did with the DX200.

Using someone elses opinion as evidence against someone else someone else's opinion... instead maybe you should only take your guidance from that first someone else?

HBB was talking about the DX200 with the stock amp and the slow UI. I dont think he was talking about amp 4 or amp 8.

Very nice! Here is a pic of Amp1Ti and my first take


My take on the Amp1 MKII is that it is a Variation of Amp1Ti (Especially tuned for voicing with Dx220). You can see no TK Capacitor (Silver one).


The Amp1 MKII is like a Modified Amp1 which the Amp1Ti is (with bi-cap techniques), But is tuned for Dx220 main unit! The Amp1Ti is tuned to voice the way Ibasso housesound would be expressed at it best on the Dx200Titanium.

 

[denis1976]

I believe that the dx220 will be a great player, maybe I will buy it has second player, about the sp1000, this happens always when a new player appears from ibasso, someone always says that will beat the sp1000 the 1Z blablabla, the only thing I can say is that the sp1000cu with Solaris is a match very hard to beat, fun, dynamic, refined warm, huge stage sound signature is a spectacular duo(to my ears of course)

Often with some people, when they have an audience, being provocative is a way of getting more attention. Obviously, many people would not agree with his assessment. The Mojo, no, it isn't as dynamic nor as open sounding as the DX200, especially with the AMP8. The other TOTL players all offer something but IMO, as what he posts is his opinion, they aren't better. But saying the DX200 at 869 is over rated holds no water, IMO. I have the Mojo, the WM1Z and have had plenty of time to compare to other TOTL players except a couple and the 200 is right there. UI, early on issues on and off. Now, works well and is fast. Anyway, this thread is about the DX220 and it is a totally different beast.

 

[Whitigir]

We don’t have to all in agreement about the same thing, or else, the world would be a boring place....and the universe would be stupidly plain

Judging by how hard it is to do a bi-cap on a Modified Amp1, and Ibasso is having it stocked with Dx220 and while improving the main unit with the same price point as Dx200....it is crazy to even think about

 

[duaned]

From an audio prospective, how is everyone here coming to the conclusion the 220 will sound "much better" than the 200 when using the same amp module? Obviously UI is improved etc, but as they are using the same DAC's where is this alleged audio improvement coming from?

 

[fuhransahis]

Are the opamps in the amp modules easily replaceable? And would Burson v5iD opamps be an upgrade to the ones they come with? And are any of the amps configured with 2 opamps?

Reason I ask is I ordered the Burson opamps to use on a Little Bear B4x but decided to return it before the opamps arrived, so wondering if I can use them on a DX200/220 amp (currently have the DX200 but will upgrade to 220 soon).
