Hey guys, if you're considering whether or not to get in on the amp8EX Fan edition, let me offer some perspective.
A few months back I got the flagship cable from Effect Audio. The improvement in sound quality was amazing and I'm very satisfied with the total investment of around $1750USD. I would place the gains in SQ roughly on par with the jump from standard amp8 to my amp8EX-P. The iBasso amp8EX Fan edition is being offered for $60 above the standard amp8. This is an amazing price for what you are getting! To get the mod done yourself with parts would double the entire price.
Once this opportunity ends and the units get into the hands of users this is going to be one of the most sought after pieces for any iBasso fan.
I have zero affiliation with iBasso and I can't imagine this profits them in any real way to do this. They've done it so you can enjoy the music. Take advantage of it.
I agreed, from a perspective of a DIY person, the pricing is unbelievable, period. Ibasso simply loves music and us enthusiasts so much that this is happening. There is no way for even any DIY to perform the mods at this price, given free labor lol!
