From the connection point of view the 4.4 has clear advantages, better contact and even more important it is physically more sturdy.

The worst thing you can do with a 2.5mm socket is to plug in a big and heavy plug with a not very flexible cable. This puts a lot of force on the tiny 2.5 socket.

The AMP1mk2 should have a 4.4 balanced port instead of the 2.5, this design decision i can't understand.

simply no room inside that little amp1 MkII

I suppose that this could be the reason, but i never opened the AMP1mk2.
Interesting to know.
However iBasso has the freedom to define their own amp size and measurements.

It could be that the compatibility between the amp modules of DX200 and DX220 was an internal 'must have' requirement for the development of the DX220 and that when the amp size was defined first (when the DX200 or even earlier), nobody thought about this, minimizing the size as much as possible.

You can get 4.4mm and this : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KSPWT7M

or 2.5 mm and something like this: https://www.amazon.com/FiiO-BL44-4-4mm-Female-Balanced/dp/B07DHM3LXH

Does it alter the sound ? Is there a difference betwen a standalone 2.5mm cable and a 4.4mm cable+ to 2.5mm adaptor ?

Nope, same sound

Nope, same sound

Do you have such adapter your self?
The more connexions in the path of signal the more chances that the sound could drop quality.
So far I have tried lots of jacks 3.5mm,4.4mm. The higher purity of copper the better sound quality.
There are not many companies who are using pure copper. And if they are making them, they are pricey. Furutech for instance. 3.5mm pure copper pin=45€.

Fiio 4.4 to 2.5 or ibasso 4.4 to 2.5, those ones are the best by far without spend 100$

Yep, that's a compromise and most of as have to take it.

My dx220 still turns off suddenly, precisely if I press the power button on the display it turns off and goes into a black screen.

Is ibasso warranty transferrable? Also how much does a dx220 replacement battery cost?

I just didn't find the orange to jam with me

Used a leather paint spray, and previously cleaned the case with alcohol.

good job

I don't think so, but I think it would add so much value to the companies to my eyes

 

[Whitigir]

Ibasso does the most for the customers that I have never seen any other companies come close.

In the warrant and battery replacement, no one have to worry about anything, period.

For 25$ including shipping you can order a battery from ibasso, told by Paul so don’t be afraid

 

[cirodts]

as I said before I have the problem of sudden shutdown and it is not resolved yet and it is not the battery.
