Any info on the weight of Edition X vs the current production DX320?

I'm sure they changed the circuitry of the X version a little bit and maybe they might have implemented AK4499EX but I could be wrong, that's probably reserved for the DX320MAX
We Know the ROHM chip sound is more neutral than AKM or LeSabre. I doubt that will change. I personally will never go back to others.

Let's hope it is not as heavy as stainless steel, and more like titanium.
The importance of light weight should not be underestimated.
Definitely looks quite beautiful.
Not sure why ibasso doesn't make this type of option available from beginning, as I would have bought it. Too late now. Oh well.

Price: $1999 USD

Source?

If that is the case I would bet that this is just a stock DX320 stuffed into a different casing (albeit a gorgeous one).

Source for price in the iBasso Facebook links post # 6,106 shared by @Lu88

If there are no hardware 'changes' (and hardware changes are not always an improvement) a limited edition based on looks is no reason to be upset - unless you really care about looks

Even if there are tuning changes, it is still the same model name at the front with a big price increase. When the next Shanling, A&K or iBasso flagships are announced you will find the Edition X on Head Fi Classified for a big discount anyway.

New AK September 15
Apparently a TOTL
SP3000 ... 🤔
And the new 'budget' Luxury and Precision will be there soon

The L&P is very interesting with the switchable modules.

Guys, how do you use the DX320 as a USB DAC on Android Mode or is that only avaliable on Mango OS?

It’s under advanced settings in the mango player.

Or swipe left to the now playing screen and there is a toggle on the far right next to play mode.

It is a special metal that is cast. It is different in structure from most metal is the matrix it creates and the crystalline structure. It is very hard and requires a special process after being cast in a mold. It is not an inexpensive process.
Is it the same Liquid Metal that Apple used to make their SIM ejectors with? Zirconium alloy?

Not bad but prefer the black casing personally. Looks like nothing else has changed under the hood.

I think the details of the design will be lost if chassis are in black. Also, because of these details, I don't think X-edition even needs a case to hide it :D

The X-Edition is very svelte looking. Good for a serious iBasso enthusiast...not me however. I've learned my portable devices belong in a case! :scream:
