I heard some people say they tried to mod their AMP8 and accidentally damaged it; perhaps they could send you their now-no-longer-required screws? :)

Ha now that is callas... I wouldn't want to ask that of anyone who has had such a bereavement ! Heartless.... :)

I would like to tag @Paul - iBasso into this ideas to bring forth the “Fan-Limited Edition” of the combination DX220 and Amp8 under the EX-modifications. Then it would be possible that Ibasso May be able to pull it off from their own chain of productions with a limited run. For example, a 150-200 units or so.

maybe Paul would be interested enough, and maybe we need to put in a down payment to kick-start it forward ? Idk, but one thing for sure is that if we gathered enough interests, It would for sure demand some answer

to start this off, we probably need to sign a petition. If so, please follow this as Copy and Paste onward.

We are interested in the “Fan-Limited Edition” of the DX220 and Amp8 as a combo. It would have included a stock Dx220 Main unit that is EX-modified, and Amp8 EX-modified

1/ @ngd3 interested.
2/ @singleended5863 I am interested.
3/ @DaYooper interested
4/ @HK_sends interest (in this or @rr12267's idea of a turn-in...or even trade-in...for upgrade)
5/ @Back2mine Interested
6/ @Shawnb Interested
7/ @iMongui Interested here !
8/ @CobraMan interested as well (more leaning towards modified AMP8 only if that becomes a sub-option).
9/ @cycheang interested in Amp8 Ex
10/ @kalo86 interested in AMP8EX
11/ @arijitroy2 is interested in AMP8Ex

Well, I genuinely meant it more in the spirit of us all helping each other out, really!

Besides, all of those stories I heard involved them just buying another AMP8 and getting the mod right the second time around, so I imagine they have enough happiness to spare :)

It’s callous.

Well I revived my AMP8 from AMP3. and it works :) so I'll try it out for a few weeks before Modding. Unfortunately it turned up with one of the side screws missing and the other with the head damaged. :frowning2: It was ordered as 'box open' and I got a discount so its not AMP3's fault. But I would like some screws to secure it, anyone have any ideas where I can get some ? and what the model number / description is ? @Paul - iBasso can you help me with details or will you sell me some screws ?
We have the screws. You can email me at paul@ibasso.com.
 
iBasso Stay updated on iBasso at their sponsor profile on Head-Fi.

I'm not really interested in another DX220, just the amp8EX. I also doubt we'll get enough commitment here to get Ibasso to commit to a production run but I'll be happy if I'm wrong

@Paul - iBasso - any interest in doing an Amp8 production run based on the mods called out in the first post here? I'm sure at least 100 units would sell quickly and I personally would pay a premium for one

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/dx200-220-amp8-amp1-ex-modifications.898918/

In parallel I'll send group messages tomorrow to coordinate with those interested in case Ibasso won't commit to production. Looks like it's ~20 people so far so we can probably do this by region
