DX340 iBasso developed Discret DAC, Easily replaceable batteries, Amp Modules! ***New firmware on 1st page. v1.04 local update. ***

[Senka]

The DX340 gets the spa treatment tonight.

The Romi Audio BX2 Pro and its dedicated PSU are bringing the iBasso to the next level by adding extra layers of music, digging more details into every tracks while adding an extra analog touch. I prefer not to use superlatives (I let others doing it), but we are in these territories…

I have a Traillii OG (Black & Red edition) incoming next week and I am almost afraid of the result coming out of this combo…



@Senka : I think you are enjoying this same setup. What are your thoughts?

Bro... it's been hard to seperate the pair...

It adds that Class A warmth and enhanced holograpghy with a thicker note weight and decay texture

I keep looking for opportunities to stack em on the go...

The C PSUs should be in in a couple weeks, same with my Verite Closed from ZMF for a refinish... i am excited for that 15v external on the PRO let alone the custom 12v from Romi..

Looking forward to bringing them to NY for others to try!

Side note, something i noticed is, UAPP seems to step back from the stage a smidgen more than native streaming, want to say more seperated, been sticking to NOS, PCM and streaming via UAPP today. Been working flawless and sounding great

Hope everyone is haveing a wonderful weekend

Pozdrav

i have these 2 SD cards. are these both just as good for playing and storing music
is there something else better than these for music on the dx340

It is for when I crave my basshead dark side. It warmth and bassy capabilities synergies well with 340 neutralities and flat.


For people who wondered about this solutions. Here is all you need

Anker Prime
12V DC
DC Adapter

Cant do that with an Anker Power Elite. DX340 stops. Elite top small?

That is because the Elite only has 12V output supoorted by USB A port and not C port. Just get usb a to 12v dc cable

I did that: 1x usb A to 12v + 1x usbA to C. Seperatly it works

I remember with the Fiio DAPs like the M15, there was a recommendation to do factory reset 3x after any firmware update. To make sure to clear out anything left over. I only reset 1x with 1.01.237.and not having any issues that I know of. Though I only listen to music on the SD card with Mango.

I’ve upgraded to the latest FW, let it complete and restarted 340, so far I’ve not noticed any issues. I’ll add an update if I start to have problems, but so far so good.

The width of the 340 is too wide by a few millimeters

Thanks!

I guess our other option would be a custom mold for the DX340 (which isn't avaliable yet) on these DAP carrying cases for iBasso.

Why not pelican 1040 case ?

 

[DAPpower]

Why not pelican 1080 case ?

That's too large, I need something that I can put in a backpack ect. when traveleing.
Or if I'm going through TSA, if I bring the pelican 1080 case I will look too suspicious

Can someone recommend me a decent cable for GX16 2pin to 3.5x1.35mm ?

Or maybe good quality adaptors for 5.5x2.5mm Female to 3.5x1.35mm Male ? I wonder if there are Furutech ones...

6-days in. Only bliss. The DX340 surely cannot be everyone’s cup of tea sound wise, but it’s mine with the right transducers. For the ones who have/had the R8II, I consider the DX340 as an improvement in all registers.

I have just took a quick look about Amp14 again. I realized that it was coincidentally go together with my post regarding 340 and it similarities to the Cayin N7

Relating to this post here

So, instead of having a fixed features, the 340 does indeed offer with several amp modules. There have always been debates about this. But I am witj the modular amp folks as I found amp modules or amplifierd overall are very very important, and effecting the end results.

The Amp14 has Line Driver Directly toward it LO port!! So it is Line stage constantly, no Preamp

Unlike the amp13, it is Preamp

@DAPpower . If you are looking for DC audiophile cables. I dont think there is one that can outperform DIY. Mine is LEMO with goldplated plug for 340 and Litz Cardas copper
