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

It happened on my DX150 when mixing card reader and player itself. I was only able to see some folders.
Format card with https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/ and start from scratch.
I didn’t try this option and as far as I see it’s the only one that I can try because I tried everything.. let’s see later, I will keep updated

That is strange. Never had that happen. First thing I would do is a factory reset and if that doesn't work then a reinstall of the firmware from the 1st page and then update directly to the latest firmware.
I would like to reinstall original dx220 firmware, then latest fw 1.15.233.
I bought the dx220 with fw 1.13.202 installed, it's a re-sealed unit. When I go to settings "Revert to factory settings", I still get fw 1.13.202, is that a problem?
After I click pause, then play, sound plays on only one ear. Also slow response of some commands.
So, how do I delete everything ,instal original fw and update to latest FW.

Anyone from UK received their Amp8EX FE?

I've been told by DHL that their UK account with iBasso has been closed and the package sent back to Hong Kong (full post on EX thread, didn't realize most posts had moved here, I have 200Ti)

I have z1r and amp9, really good combination for me. Very musical. Not muddy at all. I’m using eq setting from oratory1990. Oh also make sure use the 3.5mm cable, don’t use converter.

I am trying to install original fw v1.08 for dx220 with no success. I get: "Verifying failed,please check yor package".
What do I do?
Edit:
i installed directly fw 1.15.233 and there is a gap between the control of the keys and the playback of the 6-7 seconds.And before installing the last fw it was a latency,but now it has increased.
Edit 2:
It seems that the unpleasant phenomenon of sound disappeared only in one channel aftter restarting the song.

Were you able to overcome the error message you noted about verifying? I had the same issue when trying to install an older FW image using the file linked in the first post of this thread - had success by downloading the file directly from the iBasso website (http://www.ibasso.com/down.php) and using the android tool.

Hope this helps...

Cheers,
Tim

I installed the last fw directly. It looks like the format fw in the first post is not in a format supported by dx220. Can Paul - iBasso check?
