Hi everyone.

I am new owner of this beauty, bought from fellow head-fier in mint condition with amp7,8ex and 9.

Love the sound of this little machine, cant wait for my fiio FH7 to arrive with custom eartips to listen on AMP9!

However, I am a bit worried about the battery. My ussual listening is 90% as a DAC, streaming from tidal on PC and rest as a DAP. How can I protect a battery when I use it so much connected as a dac to PC? Is there any way how to power the machine from the usb and isolate battery?

I ordered split cable where I can power the dap from the in-wall charger while connected to the pc. My idea was to use it as a dac like that since usb on the pc does not have enough current...

Thanks!

Anyone can help me? Installed lurker fw to run play store. And the app crashes every time i am trying to download anything.
Any workaround?

Why not load it with APK? For Lurker's FW, maybe delete it and load it again.

Hello everyone, can you please tell me if the DX220 with Amp9 can drive with good synergy the Hifiman Sundara?
Also how is the noise with Andromeda 2020?

Thank you in advance.

DX229 does not have enough juice for Sundara. I haven't tried Andro2020, but Solaris2020 hisses audibly.
Amp9 is pretty weak and low output, I doubt it can properly run any Othor, let alone Susvara
Sundara

Also haven't tried the DX229 with Andro2020, but I have with Andro OG and Andro Gold. Agreed on the audible hiss. Paired with iFi iEMatch, it sounds good, but I found I preferred AMP8.

It cant drive my Audeze Sine and Hifiman 4xx properly.
AMP8 is what you need for planars.

Has anyone tried double amping AMP9?
I amped it with xCan. Quite wonderful but a) double ampage b)DX220 got hot af with volumes required for this to work. Not worth the hassle.
