I did some light digging, here’s AMP 8 MK2-s (top) versus the original (bottom)




Looks like you can buy it from AliExpress?

US $149.00 50％ Off | ibasso AMP8 MK2s high-voltage discrete transistor high-current dx240 with amp board 8mk2s

FYI, Paul confirmed that this Ali Express seller is not an authorized reseller so there would be no warranty if purchased there.

Is this going to be available in the USA if Ali sellers arent legit?

Yep, I was just posting to provide more info. I ordered from iBasso direct already.

Do you have a link to that order page?

Do you have a link to that order page?

I think you need to email Paul to place an order- see his signature on here.

I just placed an order for the new module from him.

I do not. Email Paul and he’ll send you instructions on how to order. You just pay them via PayPal and provide your shipping info.

AMP8MK2S Sorry for the late info!

A fuller sound and excellent micro details!

Any plans to MOD AMP8 MK2 for current owners?

From the audio descriptions of what this mod does (Fuller sound with micro details), will this come closer to AMP1 MKIII? which does have a more reference sound full of micro details vs AMP8 MK2 but with more power?

I got my 256GB from here https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Micron/MTSD256AKC7MS-1WT?qs=wnTfsH77Xs5bSygbrkOS9g==

Here's the industrial 512 GB https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Micron/MTSD512AKC7MS-1WT?qs=wnTfsH77Xs4I%2BMv7o3fRYA==

the price is worth it.

The above are what most have. they're i300 Versions.

The new i400 Micron Versions are out now but most sizes aren't in stock yet. only 64GB

This fortune 500 company also has some i400 Models in stock for $40 less vs mouser etc. They're based in Colorado, USA.

Gonna buy a 64GB and see if there's any improvement in sound.

When you buy use the Chart below for write speed U1 vs U3 cards

read speed is the same for all cards which is what matters most for Music playback

https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/671/micro_sd_card_flyer-3043228.pdf

Micron has added a 1.5TB card i400 model (New release).

The new i400 models have an endurance of 5 years with 24/7 use vs 3 years 24/7 use with the older i300 models 99% of us have.

They take a decent DAP like DX240 to end game levels of sound paired with the right IEM ofcourse that can pickup the differences.

So my Micron Industrial, just released Model i400 64Gb card arrived. dropped some DSDs and other high-res music on it.

Boyz and girls, Micron has done it again. Not sure what they did but the new card sounds even better than the older i300 Models.
They have clearly improved the design. I will be getting the 512GB one asap.

It's like there's more air around every instrument and voice including far left and right voices and instruments.
It all just jumps out at you like you're in the room with the artists.

Makes DX240, AMP8MK2 + Monarch very holographic, with full details from bass to treble yet a very smooth sound. it's like listening to a new DAP.

Can't imagine what one will hear on a more holographic IEM+ "Better" DAP like DX320, Cayin N7 or N8II

Really nice to hear , thanks for sharing. So in europe you can buy from this link, this is correct model you got: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Micron/MTSD064AMC8MS-1WT?qs=A6eO+MLsxmRix8Q5bXoMtQ==

As i was going to buy older industrial card i 300 to try , now seems i400 will be better choise. Ofcourse 64 gb is a little small, so will check what is available

Yes, that's the Model. DX240 also scans it 3x faster than my older micron 128 GB and 256GB cards. Almost as fast as when it scans internal memory only. So memory chip peak / sustained read speeds are way better than before (Though on paper read/write speeds seem the same as the previous i300 model cards).

This Article explains what I noticed and it all makes sense now. There's nothing like this card on the market.
