Denser than DX300 with AMP11 yeah I'll pass.

You can't say from reading
And depends on the IEM and headphones you use
Synergy ...

That all sounds very, very positive. Also, you immediately noticed that the new amp is very good. Did iBasso provide information on the battery life at the stand where you were? Sorry for asking so many questions.

It was not a very chatty talkative booth. No particular information available

Just my old ears, for a limited time

Results may not be accurate lol

Yea, Dense. Not muddy or thick though.

A nice density and fullness.

@Whitigir knows what i mean.

I got a answer for my questions. But that says not really much.

Please take these with a grain of salt as I haven't spent much time with the DX320. Less than 50hrs operational time on it since we received it. Amp cards and filter settings will play a roll in subjective performance.

1. Not that I've noticed. It might get warm during charging but I haven't experienced that.
2. It has much improved battery life over my reference DAP, the DX220. Since there are two batteries, it seems to last at least 6-8 hours on a charge. I don't know the exact specs iBasso suggests.
3. It's not as analytical as other DAPs that use ESS, maybe closer to AKM but it's got its own sound. I don't like bright sounding DACs and didn't find any apparent glare. It could on the warmer side of neutral but my reference DACs are warm.

Oops wrong earlier pic, or was it lol






My bad notes

Short listen (people were waiting to have their turn
And fair is fair)


Not the best photos today

But meh, i dont care.
I was here to talk with people and listen to them and some gear


DX300/amp11mk2

Gentle
Body
Details
More high sound

Dx320/ amp? (New stock amp?)

Bit more soulful
Natural
Nice low end (amp,
Dac or dap?)
Dense

*Slow roll off filter

DX300 required more volume it seemed

They are different. How would they be if each was using the same amp module,
Then we could really check the dac/board
Differences etc

I for one am excited - a short listen at a show is meaningless. But i sense something interesting and i am intrigued.
Everyone has their sound that they chase and mine has changed over time, but at the moment i am desiring a certain signature and wonder if this could be it.

Of course a daps job is to be fairly neutral and let the earphones perform as tuned. But daps these days often have a certain slight coloring and this is further advanced by removable amp cards etc

Something interesting this way comes…

But yes. I like it and am excited with anticipation

Cross reference these two impressions

- until we get some more

Early days. Cant be helped

Need a third impression to triangulate some form of consensus reality

I don’t…I never listened to dx320 LOL. Thanks for impressions

I mean by ‘density’ lol. As a general term

 

[Whitigir]

Ah yes, oil is less dense than water , hence it floats ….except I know nothing about dx320

 

[makkusu2021]

Hi, has iBasso announced when will DX320 be released in Japan? I guess the release time will be more or less the same as in other places in Asia...

This sounds promising.

Any chance you have heard the Lotoo PAW 6000? I kind of got the feeling you describe here with it. I wonder if you maen the same as what I thought when I heard the Lotoo PAW 6000.

Thanks for sharing your initial impressions. It's all we have now so it means a lot.

Not one new impression?? Nothing new details??:schläfrig::Schluchzen::enttäuscht_erleichtert::Wut::Wut: shame on you @ iBasso

I finally got some more listening time in with the DX320 and, this time, compared to the DX300. I upgraded my IEMs to the IT05. The IT07 are too popular so we didn't have any on hand for demoing. Spoiler: Impressions are similar to @ExpatinJapan.

I find that this DAP with the ROHM chipset is on the warmer side of neutral. So, an organic, natural-ish presentation. On my reference track Solid Air by John Martyn, all instruments and Martyn's tenor voice were placed correctly and succinctly in the soundstage, which was wider and less in my head than other IEM experiences. I used this track to tune our latest power amplifier upgrades and the DX320 presented it more realistically than the DX300. Note attack and decay were both very good. Overall I would agree that the DX320 has a richer, denser sound than the DX300. On the version we received there are only two filter settings and I tended to prefer the fast rolloff for complicated music. Soundstage is wider and deeper than the DX300 (both using the AMP11 MK2, I think). I would say the DX320 has a more relaxed, less analytical sound than the DX300. Maybe micro detail freaks would be unimpressed but I found the DX320 to suit my tastes. I found the DX320 lends a lovely glow to performances that I haven't found from other sources.

Thanks for the impressions

Awesome...sounds perfect for me. Reminds me of what others have said about my Empyreans.

Thank you so much. Have you noticed that he goes very hot?? or something about batterie life wehen you used with IT 05 ??
