So 10% custom fees in UK?
Cool!
I think it depends on the origin of the country shipping and the agreements we have with said country now we are BREXIT, and also the type of goods being shipped.

Why don’t you email @Paul - iBasso and ask for that order ?I would buy DX240 today if I could find a 4.4 faceplate available for my Amp8EX. Until the faceplate is available, I will wait.
I'm guessing that MK I was the amp that shipped with the 300 when it first came out? Shortly after the release of the 300 is when I had one in my possession for 2 or 3 days. I'm assuming it had amp11 MKI. I wasn't much of a fan of it either (versus the 220). Never heard amp 11 MKII or amp 12.I had already suspected a few pages beforehand that the DX 300 would do a bit better in terms of sound. The high technical effort has to make itself noticeable somewhere. There is nothing to be said about the basic price, the DX 300 is not twice as expensive only 300 USD. We don't need to talk about Mobilataet clearly, the points go to the DX 240. That was a comparison with the DX 300 Amp 11 MK I or MKII? I don't like MK I at all because of the screaming upper mids. MKI can only be used with Dorado 2020 and to a limited extent with the Focal Celestee. It's just plain cruel with Mest MKII. With AMP 12 it looks much better, of course, because the mids have been taken back a bit. How extreme is the difference between DX 312 and DX 240 ???
So portability matters allot to you. Makes sense to get the 240Unfortunately, I can't listen to the 300 with Amp 12. It was a friends DAP. I doubt that he bought amp 12 but even if he did, he's not local to me any longer so I don't have access to the player. I wasn't a fan of the 300's ergonomics anyway so I'd pass on the 300 even if I favored the sonics.
That 9 isn't going in for sureLet the fun begin
8EX, 9, and 8
Ground control to @twister6. Kindly help the guy out!I really need a clear review for dx240 against dx300 for SQ comparison. My local dealer has the last units of dx300 and I need to hurry with my decision...need to to know which one has better sound quality overall...
That 9 isn't going in for sure
Indeed 9 won't fit as is. But you can remove the tube module since it is connected via ribbon cable (@Whitigir will have a fit about it, lol). You can pull the module outboard and insert the board. I don't think the firmware recognized it so it didn't play anyway
I think iBasso has done a nice job with Amp1 Mk3. Amp8 improved the bass bringing more thickness, and Amp8EX shifts the bass more towards subbass to improve speed/clarity, just as it did with DX220.
I want to understand the treble of this device relative to DX300/DX300Max... With this song (@aaf evo 's test track), after 2:20~ there are series of high pitched electronic sweeps. These sweeps comes through with distinct electronic sound in DX300Max, at near piercing levels. With DX240, this is very smooth and sounds different. Maybe someone with 300/3Max can compare with 240 and let me know.
Ah ok.. 9 is a no-go as is. Tubes don't light up. Firmware or other config needed.I always known the tubes is via Ribbon cables. It is typical for Nutubes, and I don’t mind that, because it is essentials for Nutubes
Did you succeed in installing the whole Amp9 without the chassis ? And it didn’t work ?
