Thanks, also, meant a modified amp12..

I think they are talking about a modified amp12 for the dx300..?

Though I could be wrong

These two threads are blurring together these days (dx240/dx300)

Wondering what sort of battery time would 240 get with amp8 or 12..

Looking at around 10 hours DX240 and amp8 , mid gain, Campfire Audio Solaris on shuffle.

(Stock amp is 10 hours).

Going to do another try tomorrow to confirm - as it was a bit stop and start.

Was that streaming or offline?

Good point

Just playing all files on shuffle of various resolutions off a micro sd card


Doing test number two today leaving it to play all day non stop

DX240

Well color me suprised.

I did post yesterday that i reached about ten hours roughly keeping track.

Today i just left it playing from 7am - 6pm with 3% battery left.

So 11 hours with amp8

Mid gain, Campfire Audio Solaris. Playing random tracks on shuffle from the micro sd card.

I did not expect amp8 to last as long as the stock to be honest. This is good.

Great news, it takes a few charges and yes it should be over 10 anyway, more like 12 advertised

It is the main reason for me to keep looking at DX300 while choosing between DX240 and RS6: extra battery never hurts while used DX300 is even cheaper than any of newcomers these days

Thats why i like iBasso so much. They learned from their mistakes- the dx220 had quite horrible battery life- it lasted around 5h after 1,5 year of use. And it got very very hot. The dx300 has insane battery life, like really insane. I need to charge my samsung s20 2 times a day when i use it intensively. When i was on travel last weeks, the dx300 got drained to 60% from 100% in like 8h. Thats above any expectations for me. And its cold as dead meat

It’s true. Dx300’s battery life is great. But we need to admit that it’s a brick. I’d say that it’s transportable rather than really portable.

That’s why I ditched it in favour of the dx240

That's right though carrying DX240 along with power bank is even more bulky

Luckily I don’t need a power bank in my pocket!

No need for power banks. Most boats, planes and trains have electrical power sockets on them these days so just plug it in if your travelling longer than 11 hours

DX240 hits the spot for me with it's small portable size, excellent battery, excellent sound and a well designed volume control and buttons.
