I use Mango OS exclusively to play local files. Only use Android to connect to PC, I don't stream. Never tried an MP3 but they are supported so there shouldn't be a problem.
Audio Formats Supported: APE, FLAC, WAV, WMA, AAC,ALAC, AIFF, OGG, MP3, DFF, DSF, and DXD

So, my mp3 files, will play using Mango OS ? ( but not Android ? ) I don’t plan on streaming or downloading any Apps, so probably best to use Mango OS, then ?
Did you format the SD card *WITH* the DX340?
The crackling or stuttering is usually when the player has trouble reading the sd card because it hasn't been formatting yet.

I haven’t, purely because I didn’t see the option, thinking it might pop up, in a window. Can I still do that, now I’ve transferred stuff already ?

The DX260 has been in production for some time. Parts reach an end of life sometimes. As in the case of the DX260, some parts are no longer made so we will be producing a DX260MKII.
Any possibility that you can use same DAC in DX280/DX260MII but without the weight of SS or swappable AMP cards, DC12V In? If you could do that you would have a DAP that would sell like crazy!! Weight is 1 downside to DX340 and where I have read people are not keeping or not buying. It could be a cheaper much lighter version of DX340.

MP3 will play fine in Mango player in Android and Mango OS. For local play only I would get Nuetron. That is what I use and love being able to fine-tune everything.

To format SD card Settings -> Storage -> Under Storage click this device and choose SD Card - > upper right click on vertical dots and choose format. Yes you will loose everything on the card so will have to copy over again.

If your DX340 did not already come with latest FW installed I would flash it. How to do that below:

Yeah, I had to do the same thing after I found that DSD256 files and up would stutter unless I did a full reformatting from the DX340 itself.

You will loose all files as it will be wiped and you will have to recopy everything into the DX340 via USB (or you can plug the Micro SD into the PC but do not reformat it or anything.) but doing so should eliminate any card read issues.

I'm LOVING the dx340. So tempted to grab the Amp16.

I had the Amp14 for my 320 and was still letting it settle in, but ended up switching back to the default ampbecause of the WiFi noise. I like to stream from Qobuz or Apple Music from time to time.

They solved this entirely for the Amp16?

Have to wonder if farday cage can be added around Nutube to AMP14 to solve this issue. It appears that it has fixed this on AMP16. @Whitigir

I haven't noticed any interference with wifi on the amp 16. If there is I cant hear it. The amp 14 was very noticeable when tracks would change and start to buffer.

It appears to me that Ibasso had improved the architectural foundations of the designs and the faraday cage is just one part of it.

This is great confirmations! Well observed

Can you design something for AMP14 that like AMP16 has to fix this issue for people or is this something Steve is better able to do because he can access tools you don't have access to? I did hear from Steve today. He has too much going on so now is not a good time for me to send him one of my 340s. He will let me know when things are good and I will ship it. A friend of mine wants his AMP14 modded.

Nope, that is out of my paychecks. The schematics of the design belongs to Ibasso. Just out of courtesy, I wouldnt ask Ibasso to provide such. However, I believe Ibasso Engineers and enthusiasms, that, in the near futures, tubes modules will bring much improvements just like the amp16 if not more 😆.

Wow, it's out of stock in every shop I know in the EU, except for one unit at SonVideo. This DAP is making itself highly desirable!. The DX340 arrived an hour ago at my home. Nice and tough piece of art. I like very much the unboxing and now playing and setting the device.
I love that can i use the LCD5 on high gain with good autority on 3.5 on AMP15.

Don't forget to debloat the player to speed it up and tweak the player for maximum performance!
