With 16/44.1 files and IEMs the play time is around 10 hours unless the screen is used a lot. The DX320 gets slightly warmer than the DX300 but not much. With DSD about the same, a little warmer but almost not noticeable.
I finally got some more listening time in with the DX320 and, this time, compared to the DX300. I upgraded my IEMs to the IT05. The IT07 are too popular so we didn't have any on hand for demoing. Spoiler: Impressions are similar to @ExpatinJapan.
I find that this DAP with the ROHM chipset is on the warmer side of neutral. So, an organic, natural-ish presentation. On my reference track Solid Air by John Martyn, all instruments and Martyn's tenor voice were placed correctly and succinctly in the soundstage, which was wider and less in my head than other IEM experiences. I used this track to tune our latest power amplifier upgrades and the DX320 presented it more realistically than the DX300. Note attack and decay were both very good. Overall I would agree that the DX320 has a richer, denser sound than the DX300. On the version we received there are only two filter settings and I tended to prefer the fast rolloff for complicated music. Soundstage is wider and deeper than the DX300 (both using the AMP11 MK2, I think). I would say the DX320 has a more relaxed, less analytical sound than the DX300. Maybe micro detail freaks would be unimpressed but I found the DX320 to suit my tastes. I found the DX320 lends a lovely glow to performances that I haven't found from other sources.
Thank you for this. Do you notice any difference in the volume knob? Is firmer in the dx320? My only complain in DX300 is that is very easy to change the volume accidentally. Sure, you can block the knob with the software but is not the perfect solution for me.
Since it's the same SOC i really hope the 300 get's the Android 11 too. Prety sure it would be even easyer for Ibasso too than having to support both Android versions
