Day 4 of use, definitely selling the dx180. H2 filter also seems to be the most noticeable filter that I tried. I like the extra note weight it gives vocals.

Just sold my DX180 today. Only have DX260 now.

That's a great question! I actually haven't given the DX340 a listen yet. I'm trying to get the burn-in out of the way and then form proper observations. In all honesty, it's hard to imagine the DX260 accomplishing 90% of the DX320MAX Ti. DX320MAX is a beast in its own league. It has such a puristic hardware design, I doubt anything can compare to it. I made a pretty thorough coverage on it, but to single out one thing: When you are able to listen to it with the stepped attenuator maxed out, it's as if you've unlocked a secret level. If you're using sensitive headphones and IEMs, you're pretty much out of luck, as you won't be able to use this setting. However, if you've got some decently power hungry ones, it's so rewarding! The MAX series is the MAX series.

YMMV.

I am just going by a review that someone did and compared the 320Max to DX260 as he had both. I know this person too and he knows his stuff so I trust what he said in his review. I do not have anything that requires high gain but what I have sounds better on high gain. I wonder if DX340's super gain will be too much for what I have. I already set max volume allowed to prevent accidents as even on DX260 high gain I am afraid I could blow out the BAs if maxed to 100. I just do not want to be in a situation where I still like the DX260 and have to sell DX340 and loose money. If I did not have a DX260 I would buy a DX340 now without any hesitation. I was not that impressed by DX320 and actually liked the DX180 more as I stopped using the DX320 as soon as I got the DX180. DX260 is even better than the DX180 to my ears anyway.

To people who are using UAPP, does the app always confirm with Google before it's used?

Respect.

However, if the said person did not try the 'secret setting' I outlined, then I don't think they are aware of DX320MAX Ti's full potential. Lowest gain + max. stepped attenuator. Once again, if you're using sensitive IEMs, you won't have the privilege of enjoying this setting :/

The biggest advantage of the DX[number]00 series is that it has a modular amplification system. When people say they listened to the DX320 and found it unimpressive... Is that just the DX320 with its stock card or what? There are so many amp cards! And then there's the mod market for them... Heck, people mod the MAX series!

If you're happy with your DX260, why change? You can always pull the trigger on the DX340 on the used market if there's a deal within your budget.

If there is a way to buy direct without going through play I would do that. Then you can disable all the google play services and save resources.

I had even NPAudio Mod AMP 11EXN3 card, AMP13, AMP 11 MKI and MKII (hated this one) with my DX320. I sold it and all the cards back in Nov. Why even consider a DX340? If it is even better than DX260 to my ears it would be worth it plus its full desktop mode/battery bypass and AC powered AMP mode. Love the stainless steel look too. I now have the cash to buy new DX340 if I want or can wait and buy in classifieds. Then sell DX260 for $600ish and get back some money and not loose as I got a good deal on the DX260. Only keeping one DAP. Don't want to sell DX340 and loose bunch of money if I do not like it. I do not have to worry about using old amp cards etc. Other option is getting D16 from classifieds but can't use wavelet on Line-out so that is one major minus where can on DAP.

Disable Google Play and its services and see if it still works. Google play and framework are resource hogs. My guess is Play can be disabled but framework and services can't. License is stored in the google play framework/services or those have to be enabled for app to access the license. This is the case with Nuetron. Wifi on or off won't make any difference.

I've had play services disabled for a week now and have had zero issues playing local files or streaming through UAPP. Noticed a lot of battery savings even with wifi on full time.

The Qobuz native app doesn't working with Play services disabled however.

Google Play services & Google Services Framework and Google Play? 3 modules total that GooglePlay licensed apps could access. It should work with just Google Play disabled and its the biggest hog. Google Play Services on my DX260 is using 10% of RAM but using 1300 MB total with music playing right now so still have lots of RAM free.

I have offered the benefit of the doubt but it's been no communication in well over a week.
I've email today, but no response yet. I'll give it another day and then I'll probably follow up with Paypal.
I still want and need the product but seeing responses to others here and constant ignores on my inquiries are not looking good.

You can be ensured that Ibasso not a company that ignore their customers. I'm guessing Paul is really busy with the 340 and the amp card face plate thingy and it's coming to CNY holidays in China.

Ok I think I went overboard with thier flagship LPS from LHY

[Paul - iBasso]

I've started with his email since inquiring for the AMP14 faceplate for DX340 before placing the order about the logistics and the same goes for the lack of delivery and updates.

I can certainly understand the frustration in not hearing anything. The volume for the boxing and information to go with the plates, to fill orders, literally arrived at the end of last week. We had hoped it would be sooner than that but it was out of our control. I believe everything has been sent out but we don't have any tracking at this time due to the closure for 2 weeks to celebrate the Chinese New year here and greatly increased shipping that has occurred from all manufacturers. We are not trying to ignore anyone but have been swamped, no excuse, just a fact. We should have info very soon.

 

[mattclarke18]

I just ordered a NEW DX340 from Bloom! I will be joining the DX340 club. Its a 10% loss if I don't like it and have to return it. Classifieds price ask is $1,600 plus shipping and PP fees so I would loose $100+ and sales tax paid. Should have it Wed with their free overnight shipping.
