Dx300 won’t be running balances Nutube anytime soon, the N8ii does but at TWICE the cost :wink:

The rest of the features are very similar. You can swap whatever amplifier modules you want
You mean DX320, you know this for a fact?

A few reputable people like @twister6 already mentioned it. I also know for a fact that you can’t put dual Korg tube on the current module designs, no spaces for it. You can however do a single Ended input and use 1 Korg tube and then balanced output. But doing this is just for convenience and power output , but not taking the real advantage of the balanced DAC designs

True but you can still get some nice output and sound quality. Maybe they will do it down the road. Would be nice but single ended is exciting to me.

Same size as DX300, but... same weight?
There is little difference in weight. I haven't weighed it and will get around to it but there isn't much difference.

ROHM seem to push vocals to the forefront and may be a good match for my incoming HD8XX which has a dip in the upper range for vocals. Ibasso does not spec performance of the DX300 @ 300 ohms and leaves me wondering if it can properly drive the HD8XX. I will hold off on my DAP purchase until the DX320 is available.

Seem like R2R also have forefront vocals and could be the same kind of sound signature as ROHM?
Similarities to R2R is what I see elsewhere on the internet, but more holographic like a Cirrus Logic chip. Even with with upfront vocals the chip measures flat. Perhaps the reason why vocals are stronger as popular DAC’s push certain frequency range that may somewhat overshadow/color vocals.
