Thanks for sharing, thanks @Paul - iBasso for this, love the new sound in mango mode. This tuning is just perfect, thank you for dedication to your product.

Hi all, could someone please let me know if the dx240 can work with roon arc. Roon arc compatibility is a make or break buying decision. Thanks in advance!

So I got a surprise the other week. Not getting into the circumstances but apparently this is a new amp single ended amp card for the DX240. AMP5 mk something or other. This one takes a while to run in and open up and mine is still clearing out but this is a right sounding, textural board that's working great for my IEMs and is reportedly awesome for full size phones. Informative warm/neutral with good natural texture, color and perspective. It's still opening up and gaining color/space but it's far enough along now to know it's another winner. Apparently it's short run so if this sounds like it fits, call your dealer to see if he can get one.

Seems they're voicing this one with a variety of caps as usual but I smiled when I saw the Nichicon ES as I chose those for my add on the Amp8 tweak.

It is iBasso amp5 mod, know officially. Could be bought on for Chinese new year in China and Asia, later in Europe aswell. Bought mine from hifi passion de. Installed it and never looked back.
To me this is the best sounding amp iBasso have brought out. Perfect balance warmth, imaging, excellent extensions.
I can run my hd 250s of it and they sound fantastic for commuting. Line out I find is another level compared to everything else from them.
Voicing is just perfect for my first tastes.

Line out is fantastic as well. This one hasn't completely settled in but so far, I can't say I like it better than my amp8mk2mod but it has a real shot at getting there and great to have alternate quality sigs. Lovely and very 'right' sounding.

Burn in does take while on this one. Quite a bumpy ride till it gets there, but once there, wow.
Find it takes around 500h till it sounds it's best.

I
Did you noticed Vocals being more exposed on AMP5MOD ?
If you mean more revealed/ detailed and real then yes, don't quite understand what you mean by that.
