Thanks! I just ordered it. Can’t wait to hear how it sounds. Hoping for an upgrade over my Fiio X7 II.

You won’t regret it. I came from the same place, X7 mk2 is a great DAP, iBasso DX220 is fantastic ... and we have @Paul - iBasso

So you definitely think the sound quality is better than the Fiio? That's what I was hoping to hear

 

[BiggieBig]

I had X7 mk2 I couldn't test with it directly but I did compare following

x7 mii was beaten by Mojo by some big margin
Mojo was beaten by dx220 by some big margin

Fiio X7ii is good, soundstage is better than AMP1 on DX200, but the sound is kinda lean, not rich, musical like DX200. And AMP8 is even better.

looks like some one already try AMP9....

impression plz

where is my friend @ExpatinJapan ?

Sorry, I don't have amp9 yet. And even if I would have it, why would I post impressions when fw required to run it correctly hasn't been released yet?

Hmm...this worries me. I'm not looking to lose soundstage. How much of a difference is it?

X7ii is not losing by a big margin, it depend on your taste. X7ii is Cold while iBasso is rich and warm

of course it's based on taste but was to my ears it was in terms of soundstange , detail, separation ?
Also which amp are you comparing ? when you say 'not losing by a big margin'

I'm using AM3A And compare to DX200, take it with a grain of salt, its just my opinion

Of course goes for all of us
Remember dx200 is not at the same level as dx220

Yeah that's why i use the word AMP1 not AMP1MK2 But for AMP8 it is sure a huge improvement

 

[Whitigir]

I have heard some people said Dx220 is no different than M11 .

Tried to update to new firmware via OTA and failed twice. Accidentally clicked on reboot to bootloader and now screen is blank and can't seem to power on/off. Is there any way to fix this?

Edit - right. Seems to have fixed itself and just powered back on. Gonna try the update again

Similar experience here. @ home with Focal Clear:

X7 Mk ii was beaten by Desktop amp by a small margin
Desktop amp was beaten by DX220 by a significant margin

Never A/B X7 mk ii with DX220 but agree with @duyanh43 , it sums it very well

AMP9 will be here soon enough.
