Sorry, I missed that one. How much tax did you pay on top of that?

20% on the total price (product + shipping) as usual.

Since you are also in Germany, if you end up buying the Zx707 I can give you my original Sony leather case for free if you like (costs about $120). It still looks brand new and I don't use it so I don't need it anymore because I bought the Dignis case and I use that one Just send me a private message in this case so I don't miss it.

Hello, I wonder if the
will be a big step from the mojo 2, if so, will it sound close to the liberty mk? My IEM is the monarch mk3.Thanks.

After about 75 hours of burn in I could no longer resist comparing the DX260 with my FiiO M15s. They are in a similar price bracket, the M15s is about 10% more expensive.
My impressions are as follows: at 75 hours the DX260 is musical, detailed, wide and airy, excellent tight bass; the highs are a little too forward and can display sibilance; the mids are at this stage perhaps a little too refined (if that's the right word). The dX260's sound signature appears to be pushed a bit towards the higher end, and rock in particular can sound quite jangly to my ears. The M15s is equally musical, may lack an iota of the detail, but each note has much more weight and presence and the overall signature is more well-balanced, and this is true across a range of genres. The M15s just has more bite to it, making it a more engaging proposition. The M15s is, of course, quite a bit bigger and heavier than the iBasso. I'll give the DX260 another few days of burn in to see if it makes any difference, but as it is it's looking sadly unlikely to be a keeper.

For those who are interested, I tested using Sennheiser IE900 IEMs playing Qobuz high res tracks through the balanced output, mostly classical, jazz, rock and folk genres.

Edit - for anyone reading this for the first time, take a look at my comparison after 200+ later in this thread.

I'm thinking a bit if a combination of DX260 and Meze 109 Pro would be good? I mainly listen to jazz, blues, acoustic music...

I heard sibilance also and it went away. It needs over 100 hours of play time.

I got a refund today for the DX260 which keeps getting errors due to Wi-Fi problems I couldn't use it because I had the same symptoms even with other devices.

A new firmware for the DX260

Some updates to the Mango OS
And reduction in noise heard with the changing of songs etc, when using the NOS.

 

[SweetCans928]

I was supposed to get mine today, been literally at home waiting for it, but the person in my building who accepts packages was out to lunch when UPS attempted delivery. Now it's scheduled for Monday. Ouch. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but you guys know how it is lol.

Paul says it has been “reduced” and you say it has been rectified. Which one is it ?
