Does not list 12V even though it can do less and more than that. Never mind. I am blind lol. Will the cord that comes with it go into Amp15 or do I need to order another?

You either need a adapter 2.5 to 1.35 or buy a separate cord.

Or buy nicer ends and resolder them onto stock cord.

So, @mattclarke18 , I look into pure battery that doesnt need any additional Battery Management systems that can introduce noises into the audio. Measured from floor noises -205db/Hz at 10kHz. That is the best there can be measured

Nickle Cadmium is the best suitable as battery packs.

These Ni-Cd packs can be found with 12V and a charger easily off Amazon or Ebay.

Ni-Cd also comes in AA sizes and it takes 10 cells in series to make up 12V for compactability. You can then buy a charger to charge up.

All you need is to make a DC cables that allow you to plug 340 into it and a charger to charge it up

Sbooster LPS are of high quality if you guys are looking for long term usage

Partconexxion also have these, if one wanna buy from Canada and shipped to US or so, without aliexpress and so on...ofcourse more expensive

I wonder if anyone heard and compared both the dx340 / d16 and L&P lp6 or E7

In all fairness they are the only USA dsitributor for iBasso products so I wouldn’t call him a reviewer necessarily. Ask a salesman to review the product he sells and you can get good categorization amongst the other products he sells but not necessarily a review.

Onto other posts.
The hyperbole here has gotten so thick it’s like Canadian Molasses. Good to see a few more folks getting this in their hands and ears. It’s on the list for me for certain and I’ll have to check with Bloom to see when more stock is expected but if my expectations aren’t met I’m coming back here for a few of you, especially since you state it’s the greatest dap of the year period without the “to my ears” caveat .

It's the greatest DAP of the Century, with bells!!.

Does anyone have any Album to recommend me ? I want something New!! I want organic instruments but with Dances/rock/metal mix, not synthetic please

From bloom? You should have used the free over night shipping.

Long story short, couldn’t get free over night. No problem, at least it’s on its way…Aur Hermits iem is on the list now

You described Mocky perfectly, he combines acoustic instruments with electronic flavor.

This is a good album I always go with to test IEMs and headphones,

Mocky - Key Change (2015)

Album " BrianBromberg - Lafaro" song"Blue In Green" . Some have questioned the bass impact of the DX340 on this forum . This stand up Bass player sounds so impactful on my Ibasso DC-Elite with my Maven 2's. Would love to hear back how the song sounds on the DX340 before I buy. Thanks

Love it!!!! Exactly what I wanted!! Moarrr pleawee

The reasons why I am loolong for these is because organic instruments have never been sounding so lively and organic, realism this way from a digital source....let alone DAP, I have been loving it since D16 and now 340 !!!

There wouldnt be questionable things about Bass from the 340. Some have desires that once plugged in 12VDC, there are more impacts and rumbles tp be had. Wishing that it could be similar without DC-in.

But you can not defy physics...cant run a quality 12V from a Linear psu and compare to a mere 3.5V battery packs, or 8V operational rails on the 340 itself without DC

However, we are human, and we have dirty desires

I know this is unreasonable, but I love the sound of the DC-Elite. Can anyone compare with the DX340 without laughing.

Apocalyptica 7th symphony is one of my all time favorite as well @DAPpower
