Well i think there should be amps:This only means iBasso needs to put out an 'AMP3 MKII' for DX240 owners based on the AMP3MOD right?
- with different jacks/outputs 3.5/2.5/4.4/LO etc to suit each user
- also different sound signatures (variety).
The main problem is the lack of space on the DX240 amp card for both multiple outputs/jacks and also complex advanced board design.
Lots of trade offs
Probably why the amp1mkiii and amp8mk2 share similar sonic qualities.
- standard pleasing 3.5mm (plus 2.5mm cause space limitations)
- then something to please the 4.4mm crowd (me included).
DX300 has more space on the amp card which is probably why they were able to release two amps amp11mk1/mk2 (a pleasing array of jack choices) and amp12 (4.4mm for die hard enthusiasts) with different signatures.
- and soon the tube amp card…
I would like to see a general release of something like the amp3mod (with a few more minimal tweaks) - but choosing which output/s would please the community most is difficult i guess.
Its a good test the waters piece if anything at least.( assuming whoever has received one also gives feedback to iBasso for their future amp developments).
