After about 120 hours..

Increase of sound separation, treble are bit more smoother. Bass slam more organic.

Using it with andro v2.

Curious, what cables are these? If you have a URL link that would be great.

I bought these on Aliexpress. You can search for "4-in-1 plug cable mmcx". They don't come in 2-pin connector.

Wow +20dB, I’m strongly considering getting this vs my AK380. The sound is incredible, but I would like a bit more on the bottom end...I like that reverbant slightly boomy bass. Can anyone comment on the bass. I know it’s a reference player just like the 380.

One can boost the bass substantially using EQ or PEQ and the AMP1 MKII module has the power to damage your ears if you aren't careful. I love my bass (see my prior post on EQ settings) and the DX220/AMP1 MKII delivers in spades - coming from the DX90 which was certainly no slouch.

Cheers,
Tim

This is a silly question but the PEQ only works for the mango audio player correct? It wouldn’t work for something like Spotify?

PEQ is only in the Android mode. As far as working with streaming apps, etc - I will defer to those that use those capabilities.

First impression of the DX220: I don’t like the case, it interfere with swiping from the top down or bottom up. I would’ve like the color to be in black, but orange is fine. The device heat up pretty quick when listening to music.

+1 for the case

I hope it does too! My take on the Nu-tube though....it really depends on the rest of the components that surround it. It’s not pure tube sound (from the guitar products I’ve tried and the Pete Millet Nutube amp I built). It’s like half tube. It’ll flavor whatever opamp configuration that they’ve decided on or discrete components.

Well, it was not own purpose, the position of LO / PO of each vendor is different, when you alrd get used to the position of (Left to right ) PO - LO - Balanced, while IBasso is LO - PO - Balanced... just need to adjust the muscle memory...

An idea to consider is to block the LO with one of those rubber jacks to avoid accidentally plugging phone to it. I had it in X7 and the plug is on top of the equipment which is less likely to mistake

Btw, X7 had volume adjustment on LO
My 2 cents

I am just wondering if the amp 1 or 8 can juice up well Beyerdynamic T1 (600 ohm). Is there anyone here to enlighten me up? Best

I've managed to drive the more demanding QUAD ERA-1 and FINAL Audio D8000 with high gain at 40/100 volume in MangoOS at decent volumes. T1 should have no problems.

Hi,
When you use EQ or PEQ is there a significant volume drop or any hint of distortion?

I often push my Campfire Audio Cascade @140-145 volume with middle gain, do you guys think I could damage my ears ?
My ears do not hurts afterwards and I do not listen for too long period of times at this volume (15-20 minutes).
The music I listen to is mainly bass oriented/edm.
