I think the same.
@Paul - iBasso what about interchangeable amps on it?

The DX260 doesn't have interchangeable amps. We worked very hard to make sure that the amp section is extremely good and I think it is satisfy most everyone.

The line out is switched on the DX260 from Phone out so it is the same port but a different route for line out vs headphone out.

@Paul - iBasso any idea of the date this will be available in UK/Europe?

We have a Where to Buy on our site at www.ibasso.com. You can inquire with the distributor in your country or a distributor that covers where you are if there is no distributor for your area. Shipments will start in about 5 days and then around 4 days or maybe longer, depending on shipping backlogs, for travel time to the country. It comes down to when they order the DX260 and shipping times.

Will it there any sound filter as it was on dx300?

Android 11 (and Bluetooth 5.0) seems a bit odd choice for a device in 2024.

Will this be roon ready?

Having said this, iBasso is one of the only manufacturer, which provides Android OS upgrades for thier DAPs.
@Paul - iBasso , Thanks for this and please continue.

@Paul - iBasso "Roon Ready" is a great question from above, but, if not, is it at least being tested with the Roon ARC app?

Sony upgraded their Zx707 from Android 12 to 13.
Hiby is already on 12 for some months now.
iBasso is still on Android 11.

Sony is good and a premium brand..no doubt. Even they updated their entry level a306. Hiby released with 12 for 2023 models and they have not received 13/14 yet and I doubt they will be updated. Also no updates for previous flagships like Hiby r6 pro and mid level DAPs like r5 gen 2 etc.,
