ok so here are my impressions without any sugar coating bout ibasso dx 220:
- sony ier z1r--- this iem does not match well at all with ibasso dx 220 with amp1mk2 or amp9, totally bad synergy, the z1r works way better with cayin n6ii and of course with Ak sp2000. With amp9 the sound is muddy lacks detail and is not pleasing at all with dx220 using either amps. With amp1mk2 its better than amp9 but still not great synergy with z1r. Tired everything with amp9 high gain modes for the dac and amp, and switching between gain options, simply no its bad synergy
- noble khan -- is good with ibasso dx220 and I love it with amp9 more than amp1mk2, with amp9 this is good pairing
- noble encore kaiser brass limited edition: was a good pairing with amp9 period. This is an easy to drive iem, but I hear alot alot of noise when I pause the music and raise the volume to max, this happens with all the iems mentioned above but with kaiser more as its a very easy to drive iem, and this happens regardless what output gain you choose, to hear it play some music press pause and then turn to max volume, this is so irritating the noise level amp 9 has is way too much. you can even hear the noise at regular levels between tracks with amp 9
