I have barely had much time to listen. Swamped with reviews. That being said….

It’s very good. More depth. Bass is very nice with weight and texture. Mids and voices are even more sweet.

Hopefully in a couple days I’ll have more time for critical listening.
If you set playback to 2x speed, you can listen much faster 😀

Mmmm! 🥰 That’s just enough to take the edge off…

You guys are a riot.

One thing I’ve noticed is the stage is opening up nicely.
I dont want to start a riot, but what is the prevailing view — do tubes benefit from burn-in?

100 hours for solid state, 200 for tubes, 500 for R2R dacs. No idea who came out with these guidelines. Sounds about right to me.

Has anyone used this device as DAC/AMP on Windows for gaming? Would mostly use it for mobile listening, but curious if it can play double duty on my PC. I am worried about latency. Thanks!
Hi, can anyone share some thoughts on this ?
I would also very much like to know about this use case...

Dear all, I have just received my 340 and let it play overnight using the super-gain modus with the 12v-adapter pluged in. The 340 was fully charged and empty overnight. I was sure that there could be no battery drain while playing in super gain and having the 12v plugged in. Can someone help? Thanks.

When only 12v is plugged in the amp card, only amp battery is bypassed, but not the DAC battery. Unless you plugin the USB C as well.

Probably your digital battery drained.

iBasso DX340 Debloating & Tweaking Playbook

Almost weekend, time for a new update: v5.2 is live! This version introduces a new “Power SAVE 🌱” option for the battery conscious among us. Please check the release notes for all changes and additional options.

Background info: nobody will have noticed, but the previous version allowed > 16 different tweaking configurations. Since that was impossible to manage, it has now been reduced to 3:

1. For most users, the default Advanced Tweaking installation (without any option) will be sufficient. It offers a good balance between performance/sonic improvements and battery life. Included are runtime kernel optimizations, filesystem improvements, advanced scheduler tuning, and reduction of background logging and tracing (who ever checked the logs 🔨).

2. The new "Power SAVE 🌱" option (psave=1) slightly reduces battery consumption by - in addition to the above - lowering the minimum scaling frequency from 1056.0 MHz to 902.4 MHz and applying less aggressive scheduler tuning.

3. Finally, for those who absolutely want to get maximum performance out of their DX340, the "Performance MAX ✨" option (pmax=1) was introduced in v5.0. In addition to disabling "Doze & App Standby" (deviceidle), the minimum scaling frequency is increased from 1056.0 MHz to 1401.6 MHz. The even more aggressive "Scheduler tuning by Whitigir" is now also included.

As always, enjoy the improvements!

By the way, I personally think that the scripts are quite mature now. After this version, updates will come less frequent, also due to time constraints.

Thank you "rocket man" :rocket:
BTW, I also removed the limitation for DX340 and ran them on my DX180, for the love of the same HW (processor), all good
