That level is DMP -Z1 hahaha...even if Ibasso could pull it off...wont be cheap
$8K is kinda ridiculous for a transportable (not quite portable, but can be battery operated, and has carrying case) DAC/AMP with DAP capabilities.
I mean, if I was a billionaire, making at least $1 billion per year, or $480K per hour, sure, $8K would be the change I find in the folds of my sofa, so yeah, I’d be buying it.
But alas, billionaire, I am not. Spending $8K on a home system that lasts for decades makes total sense, and I can justify saving up for that. But $8K for a transportable, yeah, I don’t think so.
I think even $3K for the Lotoo PAW Gold Touch is kinda ridiculous (though in all honesty I'm teetering)
The DX220 at $899 + maybe a second or third amp at $150 each, yeah, okay. That I can justify for a device I’ll be sure to enjoy for at least a year, maybe two, and usable for maybe 4 years.
The portable market just changes too fast for me to justify spending too much on any one device. Anyway, that’s my stance today, might change my stance in a few months, LOL
