Ok guys if we can all pause with all the pictures and impressions of amp16 until I receive mine next Tuesday it will be greatly appreciated! It's killing me with anticipation!

Internet sarcasm aside, happy to see you guys getting them now and so exciting reading the impressions!!! :beyersmile: :beyersmile: :beyersmile:

Has anyone been able to check for interference on the AMP16 with the Wi-Fi on?

I hope this issue has been resolved compared to the AMP14 :)

Mine will still take a few days to arrive 😅

I don’t think the AMP14 has a faraday cage around it like the AMP16, so maybe that’s a helpful indicator. From my little bit of listening, I am not hearing wifi noise, with wifi on, though this is not extensively tested yet.

I'm streaming on the DX340 right now and I'm about 5" from my WiFi router. No noise so far :sunglasses:

No problem 😁 I didn’t know there're so many components on the back:

Makes senses, all the premises are for the tubes on the top :)

I am still in awe that Ibasso pulled this off, Heated elements tubes in a DAP! Now, whoever want to compare it to 3000T, be my guess 😆

One question

Dont you guy want a clear back plate for Tube visual 😅🤣....ok...gonna hide now

Applied the debloat and advanced tweaks from @Stouthart with great results! The UI is so much smoother and responsive now that even if you disregard the sonic changes it is worth doing. I did not A/B before and after tweaks but based on memory the background slightly blacker and the imaging and staging are slightly improved.

Thank you for the work you've put into this!

Ugh… it’s not all roses right now.

I was listening with the Fir Rn6 today with the AMP16 on full tube mode… after a short minute or two of listening, it starts to develop a feint high pitch ringing that I hear in the right channel. I can make it go away by going back to AB mode. If I switch back to Tube mode it’s not immediately present, but then I start playing a song for another minute and it comes back. It’s not loud, but it’s definitely there. Switching from low, to medium, or to high gain mode only intensifies the ringing, too.

Any thoughts?

Is your firmware stock or is it optimized ? Just out of curiosity

I’ll compare them soon. I was telling people today how much I miss the window 😭

Man that blows. I hope it fixes itself.

It’s stock. I’ve not debloated or anything.
Try debloating with optimizer then. The reasons I recommend that is because the optimizer will help

1/ lightening the loads on the entire system OS

2/ saving batteries

3/ More efficient Task Assigned toward the most efficient cores of processings

The Dx340 is a simple but yet Very complex machine. It needs and have to control the interfaces between amp modules which has differences within itself

The amp16 has No Line Out and also Always utilizing Zero Digital Attenuations , which means DAC is always at 100 which You Do not see, but you will see the volume displayed accordingly because JRC analog attnlenuations. Complex isnt it ? Read it again, please

That is why, if the system loads up with a bit of confusions or errors during boots, even if your amp module isnt sitting right, will cause white noises 😅. Under such circumstances, just Reboot

It used to happen to me on Amp15, until I debloated, optimized, Maxing out PMode Max tuning, and it was gone...poof...disappeared.

But back when, I just turned off, remove module, insert again, and there it went on, all Roses and no Violet
