That !!! My friend !!!

My main points to be exciting about DX340 are as follow

1/ it has 1 bit DAC discrete the way I love drom D16 !!!

Never expected it to be on par and yet different to D16 in sound signature

2/ it can utilize pure external LPSU for amplification purposes, desktop Mode !! Now my set is READY for them all!!!

Never expected to see Dual Triodes and GAN FET incoming modules which can also be under desktop mode

3/ Also, didn't expect Ibasso would improve FPGA 2.0 intp 3.0 this early

Them ibasso engineers must be working in overdrive to get that FPGA 3.0 this soon. Not to mention all the hardware advances concentrated this much into a portable player.

Dont forget the Advanced Algorithm for AHA filters and the newer Android OS with MangoOS

The swift integrations for previous Amp modules backward compatible

The Swift integrations of Desktop mode Vs Portable mode. It is a breeze to enable. Just turn on the player and plugging in. The green icon appears and right in the setting, there is Super Gain mode

I can deal with Hardware...but programing and software development and algorithms are UGLY to my brain...I get messed up always ... not my fortes. I would say the $$$ Ibasso invested into the software and AHA , which is the Soul of the system, are a fortune!!!

DX340 on the way and should land on Monday 🥳 I must say fantastic service from the Bulgarian iBasso dealer - spoke with them via online chat a few days ago, they confirmed stock was landing on Friday - I ordered, and sure enough received a DHL shipping notification yesterday… it is now actually in a DHL hub local to me and scheduled for Monday delivery. Can’t wait!

We have a very dedicated team. At times they will come in on a day off to work on software or hardware. They care and it is the love of what they do that gives them energy to do this.

I am very sure of it! Like Leader, like soldiers! 😄 and we, the enthusiasts, love Ibasso for that!

To anyone who wondered. Yes !! Double Penetration is possible with 340!

DC for amp plugged in to enable desktop mode

USB plugged in for charging and USB functions!

It is amazing how a quality PSU in desktop can transform the Dx340 sound performance by itself. The stock adapter is not much different than built in battery. Perhaps it was meant to extend the ability of 340 to output higher wattage on the go.

But with a dedicated built PSU. It amazes me. The differences literally makes me giggles like a little girl having her favorite teddy

This is battery and stock adapter mode

And this is dedicated PSU performances

The first DAP that I have witnessed such amazing scalable performances with PSU. This means that Ibasso did really Seriously beefing up the desktop mode for Quality and prowessness. It isnt just there to just simply be there as a marketing features. The previous device I observed the differences was DMP-Z1...but the dx340 scalability is even more Noticeable.....!!!

It is Real/Seriously/Dedicated mode for real perfomances gain

@Paul - iBasso why is UK so late in getting DX340 stock?
Please contact the distributor as it is up to the distributor to order. I hope all our distributors get the DX340 soon so more people can enjoy it.

Here is a 12 volt power supply fully regulated with a toroid and some nice super caps. I just need to get the right connectors. What do you measure the input of the amp at? I have another PS that is about 3 times larger and costs as much as the DX340. But nothing around here has the simple connectors needed.

I forgot I have adapters. Only needed the one for the DX340 amp card. Now to let the PS warm up.

About 3.5*1.35 type

Great to have you onboard as well Scuba! Glad you took my advice of ordering from https://ibasso-shop.eu/ - really awesome sync we have had with them, right before they got it we were fortunate enough that it wasn't all out of stock in the first batch...I'm in exactly the same delivery situation as you are :beerchug:

Hype is real...both within the team and outside. Really looking forward to increasing the adoption of iBasso gear. Can't wait for the new AMPs to also be made available as well as the compatible replacement face plates for existing modules.
Any word of advice/comparison you can give us tubes followers between AMP14 and AMP16?

What you're saying here is that a dedicated Linear PSU puts out a different sound out of the AMP card vs the included power supply for the card?
How much of a difference are we talking here in %? (if possible to quantify)
I do have a FiiO PL50 that I use with my XD05PRO that I can borrow.
