So no idea why you’re selling it? Just curious really. The only way I’d consider the dx320 is if I got rid of the D16 and that still has a very important slot in my rotation. The AIO would be the only selling option.

Ah ok. Nah I don’t see my next dap being one anyway, probably either the Shanling M8 or wma1am2. But doing fine without the D16 glued to an unused mobile phone.

Anyone know a good utopia and he1k comparison?

Is anyone else listening the Meze Elite with the dx340? After the full burn-in and Stouthart's tweaks, all high gains and DC-in Super gain mod, I have non-stop goosebumps and ear-gasm. The sublime clarity and micro-details on voices and instruments with very good, tasteful textures on all frequencies won't stop to amaze me!

Now, my itch is to step also in the IEMs territory, and after I devoured this thread, the last year's post in the watercooler and NY Canjam's impressions thread, now I'm more overwhelmed by the amount of reading material and thinking that is better to ask here, especially the dx340 users with many TOTL / near to TOTL iems,

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE PAIRINGS (with dx340)??

Budget: 1.5k to 2.5k $.
I listen to Rock, Pop, EDM. Great low and mid bass, punchy but textured is mandatory. Organic mids with detailed, but not to analytical sounding voices (I prefer male voices). Good resolution, soundstage and imaging are what I want to get also.

I've eyed the Clara, Astrolith, Apostle, UM Jet Black, Ice Lab Spectrumica.
Cheers!

From what I’ve read the astrolith is a solid contender

Yup you are all right my bad mhz it is 🤣
;) We're just thinking of the kids. It's like an English teacher and spelling or grammar. Any of the engineers can't let it be left uncorrected. Dammit, units matter too!

Astrolith has got my attention too. I LOVE planars but I'd also say that in the $1.5 to 2.5K budget - take a look at the Multiverse Mentor in the 2nd hand market. It's an amazing IEM and supremely comfortable. Having said that, I jumped to the Multiverse from the Mest Indigo. I loved that IEM and that MEST Jet Black is calling me back; it should be orders of magnitude above the Indigo and Mest III.....

I'm having issues replacing my amp card. One of the screws will not budge and may now be stripped. The other screw turned easily. Any suggestions?
Are you having problems with the torx screws to remove the card from the 340 or the small Phillips screws from the amp card to chance the faceplate? Make sure you use the torx screwdriver for attaching the the amp card to the device and a small Phillips for the faceplate to amp card. With the screw I partially stripped on the amp card, I used a small piece of rubber band and placed it on the screw head to give a bit more grip. That worked for me.

It was one of the Torx screws that got stripped. I've gotten it out though now thanks.

Had some time to spend with my Elysian Apostle on the DX340.

Using the stock Divinus Velvet eartips, I seem to prefer Neutron player over UAPP. The fowardness and diffuse nature of Neutron tends to synergize better with Elysian IEMs for whatever reason.
