Don't know since I haven't heard either, but it is always good to have choices.

Me neither but I know the signature of the 240 is supposed to follow that of the 220, in large part. I own the 220. Also know that the M8 is considered a "colored" player. Warm, smooth, musical, "analog" etc.

Makes sense. I have read that the DX240 is more analytical sounding.

 

[Tomm11]

Yeah. Or as Porta.Fi would say in his thick accent ... "monitoring".

Really like that dudes reviews.

Traillii with Sedna tips and Amp 13 on latest software is just a masterpiece.
I’ve compared it more thoroughly with stock amp and 13 is still a huge upgrade - very holographic and both crisp sounding.
Soundstage depth and width, dynamic range and tonality are all superior to Cayin N8ii in my opinion.
What I actually like in its current implementation is that it brings a lot of space volume without making it artificial while adding natural-neutral tube textures and not muffling the details.

I updated the DX320 to the latest firmware and it still in the burn in process. Can wait to hear it this weekend. Also received a dark blue leather case from Easecase and it looks very nice.

And btw Amp 13 is not fatiguing at all and if you want sound to be a bit on the fun side then it’s right PO is your choice.
It’s exaggerating influence on frequency response found in previous firmware was tamed down but not to the way becoming dead boring.

Any recommended adapters all my cables are terminated in 4.4mm

Also any news on the tube noise when using Wi-Fi ? Cuz I’m interested in exchanging mine…

This is the one I use for 4.4mm to 3.5mm: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0922VY6FB?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

The same here, use that ddhifi adapter with amp13

I use dd hi fi adapter for 4.4 to 3.5 conversion.
And still getting noise with Amp 13 on the first seconds of streaming while tracks are buffering.

I don't think that will change. It is a design issue (or better to say limitation), and iBasso is probably not going to scrap their current stock to "redesign" the amp card. I guess it comes down to either living with it or selling it off (unfortunately). Which DOES kinda' suck; however, it doesn't bother me that badly (I'm not really OCD about this), and I will happily use it until it dies (probably).

I wonder if one uses the DX as a source to another amp, if one can hear the crackling then as well? Because it doesn't have a true LO, so still goes through the amp section to the 3.5mm connectors (even though iBasso is calling the low V output as a LO). I know that @jamato8 has used it this way, and don't recall hearing it mentioned that there is audible noise downstream.

Steve's latest mod designed specifically for the DX320. I hope we hear something from the sound impressions!!!. The board goes to Singapore

Is this good for usb dac?
I consider to buy for replacing D90se/a90 amp to get some deskspace.

I’m exactly in the same boat. Amp wise i think its clear it will not be a competition, but dac wise i wonder.

Daps aren't for USB dac use. The batteries will degrade. Das are for portable use.
Get a dongle instead.
