Based on Paul’s latest message I guess the AMP16 should drop sometime this week. Time to start refreshing the Bloom Audio website. Looking forward to it, although I have absolutely no complaints with the Amp15 output.

4/ Tube input stage can be bypassed with Solid States stage as well. This means you can enjoy either SS or Tubes
The iBasso Nunchaku has a few of these tech specs as the Amp 16 has (JAN6418 tubes, electronic controlled analog volume, SS/Tube output). Anyone have the Nunchaku dongle? Wondering how JAN6418 tubes would compare to Korg Nutubes soundwise.

A excellent question I am tempted to find a AMP14 to try inside the DC340 alongside the Amp 16 for comparison?

Camouflage blue, looks super nice and sharp! Smells really nice too they using high quality Italian leather.
How much in US dollars?

It might depend on the leather, but mine was $164.50 and that included shipping to the US.
Waiting on mine to arrive, paid same price as well as Same Blue Camo Leather, can't wait for it to arrive.

I have owned my DX340 for 2 weeks now and have listened to it for at least an hour every day. 2 hours a day on weekends.

I have to say, I am now very satisfied with the DX340. While it has never sounded bad, it did sound very clinical to my ears out of the box. As I adjusted to the sound profile (I'm not dumb enough to wade into the burn in debate lol)I've become extremely appreciative of its capabilities. While I would still describe the overall sound signature as neutral, it really sounds nice across the entire frequency spectrum. I'm not going to go into a ton of detail about sound impressions but it is clearly the most capable portable/transportable source I've ever heard. It took a while to get to the "wow!" moments but now they come regularly even with a cheap set of planar IEMs like Hidizs MP-145.

I REALLY like the fact that the super gain features is available for certain headphones. This made a huge difference for my Thieaudio Prestige LTD which are surprisingly hard to drive well.

The interface is great, super snappy and the screen is awesome. My initial issues with battery consumption were resolved in a few days after a few charge/drain cycles.

I'm very happy with the device overall.
hi, im interested what diff it made with LTD? thanks

For me it felt like they were finally driven properly. Especially with super gain. I felt like up until that point I was never getting the separation, detail, sparkle, etc that I had read so much about. I didn't realize how power hungry they were.

I see you have the D16 which I have heard is a stellar pairing with Prestige LTD, but haven't heard it myself.

Not specifically dx340, but I received my dx340 last night. I use only the 4.4mm input, so I printed a 3.5mm jack cover, here is the STL file for anyone interested...

Is it just me, or does anybody else have a problem with getting the rubber protective cap of the dc-in open?

Everyone has that issue, you can use a sim card ejecting pin to help.

Nowadays I just rotate it and put it into my 3.5mm socket instead.

The wait is well worth it! 😉

How do you get the English version of taobao? I tried to select a different region but it still won't show English.
