FYI...
 
"Hi Thomas, 
 
I just want to inform you that we released the DX100 10 minutes ago. Please check our site.
 
Thank you for your patient.
 
Sincerely
 
iBasso Audio"
 
EDIT: Damn, everyone knew this already.

Because the ES9018 and AK4399 are hailed as "the worlds best DAC chips", at least according to their specs.

You ever see a spec that says 'don't buy me cause I am not worth it'?
 
On a side note, I read an article a while ago regarding Android's audio output from a Chinese website (here, if you read Chinese). It mainly discusses the limitation of current generation of Android (at least up to 2.2, 2.3 and 3.0) that its Linux kernel is unable to deal with anything more than 44.1kHz properly as everything (48, 96, 192kHz) gets sample down to 44.1kHz via the internal SRC and usually resulted in distortion. I wonder if this will be a problem for the DX100 as well or maybe iBasso has found a way to deal with it, perhaps via a SRC of its own?

Can't wait for reviews, pain about the price i could have bought it next month but i'll have to wait if it jumps to $829 next batch.
 
Shame they didn't do such a player but without the hefty amp section, now that with my P4 would be rather special.

In Linux you can natively pipe your output untouched straight to the port, much like WASAPI and Asio4All does for windows. I imagine Ibasso found a similar solution for Android to use in the DX100.

As of 09:34 GMT on 01/19/2012 the iBasso website is offline.
 
Seems they got fed up with you guys pestering them about ordering the DX100.

Nice. They released it while I was sleeping, and when I finally managed to reach my PC, found their site down and all DACs sold.
 
It disappoints me a little bit.
 
 

 

[thisismyname]

I would like to see reviews including comparisons with 801/C4/661/ipod+CLAS/HP-P1 combo/other dap

I think those 40 units sold out within less than an hour, right?
 
 
Thanks ClieOS and Danish Basshead for stilling our beating 192kHz hearts.

(not really)​

 

[underhysteria]

If they are gonna price it @ 800+ for the next batch, then im out of this race ;(

price jump? the price now is $699. what was the original price?

 

[sunstream]

My husband just told me that they could possible have sold the prototypes. I can't swear that it's true, but at least some companies which make routers do so.
 
So, we all who missed the chance to order cheap DX100, can comfort ourselves with that thought.
