Allowing to compare properly the DX320 with the N8ii, the Amp13 (tube) should be necessary to obtain a complete test.

Also dx320 vs AK sp2kT.
Guys when will you finally have yours? Cant wait for your impressions. What are these ROHMs all about?
1. More about the bass
2. Timbre!
3. Dynamics
4. Staging
5. the rest.

Still it's one NuTube vs 2 ...
But I'm getting the Amp13 nevertheless
Actually thinking if I need to go DX320 ?
Finally it will be personal sound preference

I will surely be comparing DX320 to SP2000T and SE180 with SEM1 and SEM2

You forgot N8II ...

When are the DX320 shipping? I was told mid May. If I’m not too lazy I’ll be sharing comparisons against the N8ii and WM1Z-M2.

A choice between the DX320 and announced Kann Max is keeping me restless. My brain says the DX320 with ROHM and full blown Android 11 for streaming platforms is the superior DAP, but the draw of a 15Volts mobile DAP in a shrunken package is making me pause.

I need to drive a 300ohm Senn and looking to get Planar Cans in the near future. I could use some words from the wise among us.

Im also interested in Kann Max in case of going for a new dap, mainly because of its smaller form factor (thicker but more portable overall). But honestly i think that the dx320 will outclass the Kann Max purely sq wise.

Summer has come and unfortunately im starting to experience all disadvantages when it comes to the size of the dx300. Its getting quite hot here where i live (one of the hottest spots in Germany) and even tho i work from home, everytime im leaving for a walk, shopping or meeting friends, carrying the dx300 in a pocket of shorts is quite inconvenient. Fortunately its not heavy so im able to manage it quite successfully. I would be very happy with a smaller dap but dont want to lose the sound quality.

I don't know how iBasso did it but I have been playing DSD all day and the DX320 gets barely warm. Not much warmer than the DX300.

I have the Kann Alpha here
It is a brighter DAP
And has more Bass extension
Meaning it slams harder
Way harder !
That's what I noticed immediately as difference when my DX300 arrived
But DX320 has Rohm and the Kann MAX is Quad DAC now
I'm thinking to upgrade my Kann Alpha to Kann MAX
Now I have a DAP shipped next week with Rohm and double NuTube + full Class A
But ... the big but ...
All is about synergy ...

I dont think you will have any problems with pairing your u12t with either dap. These iems are masterfully tuned.

As you know my first love was the Kann Alpha
It's smaller but a chunk let's say
It's not perfect but is any DAP
And it doesn't feel but the Kann Alpha is 20g less in weight

To be honest I would like to hear your Monarch Mk II vs U12T
Crin puts them as #1 so ...

Yeah but the u12t are second So honestly i wouldnt bother on your place. They received S for tuning and even tho the Monarchs 2 have S+, i bet the difference is rather cosmetic.
