DX320 or N8ii?

Both maybe ?

Both maybe ?

Haven’t heard the DX320 but I have an idea of ROHM DAC’s signature. Depending on iBasso’s implementation and above early impressions it’s similar with what I’ve heard in N8ii - transparent quality and large soundstage. Other aspects of the N8ii are dependent on various settings from gain, power mode, timbre (SS or tubes) and amp (A or AB)

Have over 160 hours on N8ii so far among my other stack of “bricks”

All excellent considerations.

Will be adding DX320 when available to order and M9 next month.

M9 seems awesome with the AK4490

I have an iBasso DX240 and an Amp 8 on the way. I wonder I'd I should look at the 320?

Nothing wrong with looking
But it can also make things go 'wrong' ...

Lol

I guess I should add that the interface is also snappier than with the DX300, in both Android and Mango modes.

Just set it to run for an hour on Mango at normal listening level. I'll let you know what the percentage drop is @German Expat in Vietnam

Is the MangoOS exactly the same on the dx320 as on the dx300? And I assume the only differences are the snappier OS?
I was really hoping MangoOS would get updated. Fiio's music app/OS on the m17 was miles better than MangoOS in terms of pure user-interface when I had a chance to test them out.

Even if it's the same Mango OS as it is on the DX 300 now, I don't care. Never had problems with MOS. For me the sound is more important, that it doesn't get too hot and the battery life. But that seems to be ok for the fact that the 2 Rohm converters are under the hood. And the series amp also seems to have better and more power than amp 11.2. In any case, Expat.in Japan noticed it immediately. So everything was fine.

Incredibly enlightening to hear that it sounds tight and speedy. This is exactly the description that I was looking for as the dx300 is quite "gentle" for my taste.

Will look forward to purchasing it once available!

Whoa Whoa, a DX320?

I didn't know about this, this totally blew right past me.

Are the chassis dimensions gonna be the same?

Could I just use my current AMP12W for the newer DX320?

Did you burn in the DAP at all before the show? I ran our demo DX320 overnight with planars to really work it out. I think the "hard" or "stiff" sound was gone by the time I got around to critical listening.

Yes the amp cards are compatible with dx320
