Do most people use the stock Mango Player on the DX320 ?

Poweramp seems a little more adjustable and bassy when using EQ, and USBPro and Hiby seems a little clunky UI wise, I can’t get passed the Neutron UI.

I keep coming back to the lovely fluid UI of the Mango Player. I think the UI is actually smoother in Android than Mango OS.

I tend to use the Mango option as to me it seems to prolong the battery level.

Year dates.

On a few downloads when I have the release date displayed, it has displayed not just year but month and day of realease as in “2023-01-04”.

Solution has been to revisit the tags and replace the year with another and then retype the correct year and rescan but obviously this is a bit of a pain.

I guess there’s no way of the app ignoring month and day 🙄

Anyone compared DX320 with Amp14 with Sp2000? Can get both for about the same price, currently have a 320 unit around and really enjoying the sound, not sure if I will miss out on sp2000. And yes, what about the battery life and ease of replacement?

I used to own an SP2000 Copper and now own the DX320 Edition X and prefer the overall package of the iBasso. The SP2000CU is a more rounded and silky sound with a nice black background and nice head space whereas the DX320 is more transparent & dynamic also resolving more information. They're quite complimentary really.

But, I only have need for one DAP and I found the iBasso to be a more versatile source, especially if you plan on rolling the amp with an alternate amp card.

I wish the SP2000CU had 4.4mm outputs. They finally added that with SP3000, but 2000 uses 2.5mm balanced which seems to be close to extinct...

Hope that helps.

welcome to the Ibasso club :), Ibasso does have exciting products for sure, and just like other brands, they have their own uniques signatures, once you are in love, you just cant have it from anywhere else

I've been team iBasso for a couple years aha. DX300, DX320x & DX320MAX :beerchug:

Actually, my DX320x is using your AMP12W which I picked up from another user here over a year ago. It's nice because it has a bit better dynamics and is slightly less thick in the midbass vs the stock AMP12.

I am looking for a portable, pocket friendly dap that can drive my new DCA E3. Has anyone tried dx320 with amp 12? Can dx320 drive the E3 more than enough volume (80db or above) without distortion? The max version is probably better but it is too big and out of my budget currently. If possible, curious to see how it compares to chord mojo 2.

Will be comparing Cayin N8ii with 320 X, amp 11.2 and amp14 and 320 Max today.

Cayin is smaller than 320 Max, almost pocketable. The screen is horrible after seeing ibasso though. 320 X with stock amp performs surprisingly well against both tbh so far. As long as you are not looking for a unit that is on pair with desktop solutions, 320 might be it. Testing with Atrium Closed, Caldera and Meze Advars

Atrium Closed, Caldera are both easier to drive than E3 in terms of specs. If dx320 with amp 12 can drive DCA aeon 2 noire with ease, then it probably have no problem driving E3.

I wouldn't say the DX320 was pocket friendly in either the sense of size or damage to your wallet.

Dx320 is pocketable. Hell even n8ii is.

Dx 300 / Dx320 Max not so much though.
