To me the sq differences b/n the 2 is irrelevant,
First and foremost I wanted something portable with streaming to go out with Monarch mk2s
The dx300 doesn't even come close to my P6pro anyway

Advanced MP3 players in UK has both the dap and leather case+faceplates in stock so i ordered.

OMG - I just looked at AMP3 UK and the total cost for the DAP, Case, Plates and shipping works out at £930.99 .

Factor in the cost of the AMP 8 module (for 4.4mm usage and better AMP performance) at £210 and the total cost equates to £1140.99. No Wonder people are choosing to take the DX300 over the DX240!!!!!

However - I got the exact same thing (With Import fees) on eBay from an iBasso distributor in Poland for £616.13. That's a difference of £314.86 cheaper.

It was good enough to make me buy it, so..thanks..
Btw, do you think it's worth waiting for dedicated amp cards for this or should i get amp8..hmm

Glad you got enough information fromy review. Some readers wanted a more black and white opinion between DX240/DX300 but as we are finding with the impressions coming in it is not all that simple taking everything into account.

As for buying amp8. I truly do not know.
I am using it (amp8) myself mostly.

I do know i now regret selling my amp8EX as i did not think i might find a future use for it. I love the dx220/amp8EX combo. But the dx300 ui and battery life won me over. Sound was fairly close too…

And ampEX was always in the DX220 and the amp8 was in the box.

I do think (well hope) that the next amp is a 4.4mm that takes the best of the amp8EX and goes further.

(I do wonder how dx240 amp8EX sounds…)

I think i compared dx220 amp8EX versus dx300 in my dx300 review and found them fairly similar.

I did find the amp8 in the dx220 to be more claustrophobic and darker than when used in the dx240.

If you are getting the amp covers already and the used market of amp8 is cheap , it could be a bit of fun whilst you wait for the next dx240 amp…wish there was a timeline for the dx240 amp releases….

I think the same about the future AMPS for DX 240. So I'm still waiting for new AMPS to come with a 4.4 connection. And then maybe I'll put one for me on the way. Until then, I'm very happy with the DX 312.

I only got the cases here, the price of the dap is ludicrous and noone should buy it there, they do have discount codes, i used one for the cases..
Got the dap on Ali and its a good deal similar to yours.
Otherwise, for well over 1k id definitely buy something else.
But the faceplates and leather case I don't see on sale anywhere else at the moment

616 for dx240!? That sounds crazy to me

Crazy good or Crazy bad?

 

[ehjie]

Not much

re: 312 vs. 241.3
Just to be on my (listening) part, the difference i'm referring to IS the sound quality output.
Whatever chip sets they put on them are INDEED different.
Most folks, including me - honestly care less whatever Ibasso put inside them.
The proof is in the pudding - The sq is not much very far. I cannot put a number by percentile - otherwise I'd be obligated how I factor in that figure.
ie. If the listener is very concerned about stage depth ( a very important factor in holographic imaging ) the 300 wins - by NOT MUCH very far...

Crazy good deal

Crazy good deal

And that includes the Leather case and 3 AMP plates as well

Aren't You supposed to add custom fees like VAT?

Not sure - might be an error but add one to the basket and check the cost at checkout.

The Import charge from UPS was £55 on top of the price above. UPS email you when they receive the item and are ready to ship it into UK. At that point UPS bill you the £55 import charge

So 10% custom fees in UK?
Cool!
