Vince! Is ibasso located in Wuhan? I would pray Buddha to protect them.

I am not sure, but in China , and the outbreak is about to be declared a “national emergency”

Here is what Paul said about the coronavírus outbreak in China:

“Hello, Thank you for your concern. It is early in the outbreak. We are fine so far but this is happening when everyone is traveling and that could not be at a worse time. Thank you again. Paul.”

They're in Shenzhen I believe, which is very far from Wuhan.
However, as Paul implied, it's a uniquely disastrous time for this viral outbreak to have occurred as prior to Chinese New Year, countless people travel back to their hometowns to celebrate with family (one report estimated that 1.3 billion journeys would be taken over that period!).
So when you're trying to lock down an outbreak that's already spread to other cities, it's going to be extremely difficult.
My best wishes and prayers are with iBasso and the people of China during this festive season!

I bought an amp7 and I honestly don't like the sound. Too bright and too in front of voices and instruments. In addition to this I seem to be powerless, Dunu in 2000j I listen to them on average gain. They have 8 ohms and 102 dB. Honestly, I like amp more 1 mk 2. Can you recommend me another 3.5mm output module?

I suggest you to go for amp8 if you want performance, but on top of that, go for 2.5 cables to have balanced output and enjoy the music

If he doesn't like the Amp7 sound i wouldn't recommend Amp8, because both are discret amp designs with similar specs. They differ in the output single ended vs balanced, but they share a part of the the same amp design.
From my perspective its therefore risky to recommend Amp8 for him.

Amp9 has a nice warm tube sound, can hiss with sensitive headphones, but worth to consider if the phones pair gently.

AMP 9?
I hope that Dunu is not very sensitive to hiss..
A side that, AMP9 is the most fluid among others AMP...



And I would said, AMp1Mk2 still good and versitile for me... same VRMS with AMP8, and have option to the majority jack SE with PO and LO.... IMHO
so there's nothing wrong with AMp1Mk2...

 

[cismax]

What about AMP3? Looks more powerful...don’t know about sound signature though

Agreed on amp9 being most fluid and organic of all. Was on amp8exfe and now switched back to amp9. I like the sound better with the latest firmware.

Does AMP9 with your Solaris not hiss like crazy? With the A18t the sound was exceptional but I had to basically crank the volume to levels I normally don’t listen to to drown out the hiss.

Actually I never thought about hiss as it was never a problem for me. Now that you mentioned when I turned up the volume from 0 to higher
I do hear some noticeable hiss but then when I brought it up to normal listening level around 55, it's all masked. Does it still bother you at normal
listening level? What's your normal listening level?

I don’t own AMP 9 anymore but I remember it having to be around 70 with my A18t to get rid of the hiss (unless it was a quiet passage on the track)

Wow, you must be extra sensitive to hiss. I don't feel a damn thing after 50. amp8 hits hard and all but seems to lacks the 'sophistication' which amp9 possess.

 

[flarex3]

For you, is DX220 amp1mk2 warm, neutral or bright ?

the Hiss even enter in the song...

Neutral for me...
