I guess there are many factors in places.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
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.
But if you asked my instances specifically under quantiative % differences, then I will use digital filter differences by the Dx340 itself to answer
If the head gears permit you to tell the differences between filters and you observed 5% differences. Then under desktop mode and a dedicated LPSU, the scalability % would become 30%
The improved dynamic, punchiness, sub bass rumbles/ripples, the textures and staging are all improved. Keeping the same amp Gain level.
Now, back to the LPSU and many factors as I previously mentioned
1/ different LPSU will have different performances. Even the same schematic using different parts quality will be different. Therefore, I cant say for your specific instance, what you may observe.
My PSU is Sigma 11 with parts that I specifically selected by DIY.
2/ the head gears you hook up to the 340 may allow a different observations depends on it quality, sensitivity and it impedences curves. I observed these differences with HD800S
