Are these cards brand new out of the packet or have you used them before? If brand new they may be fake which could be causing you an issue.

Both Cards have a capacity of 366GB. Card 1 is currently holding 354.2 GB of data, while Card 2 is holding 325.2 GB of data. If they were fake cards I do not think they would hold that amount of data and still function in everything else but my DX120. I do not think my Sandisk Micro SD cards are the cause of my problem.

Mine is arrived!! after 24 hour of burn-in time these are my first thoughts: Great great sound, different from DX80 and more near to Ess dac-dap ( i have a X7-mkII and Onkyo Dp-X1). Wider soundstage than dx80 and more bass textures with large resolution. Wonderful job Paul. I was waiting the DX80's successor and now this is here. Forgot to say that the great power amp drive my Sundara without problems....

How does it compare to these two (as a first impression maybe)?

yes...only a first impression....the bass texture is better than DX-1 and also a there's also a wider soundstage. The ampli on Dx-120 is really incredible. i understand that iBasso has realized a...little monster.. this is my first impression.

I know this not the correct thread, but could anyone direct to a thread or web site where I can compare/buy Balanced Over ear Headphones?
Thanks in advance.

Feel free to leave your impressions there.

exFAT is supported, and is preferred for modern cards. NTFS is supported as well, but is not recommended for SD-cards.

Why isn't NTFS recommended for SD-card? Can this format potentially corrupt my cards? I ask cause this is the format I've always used with all my daps without any incident.

Why isn't NTFS recommended for SD-card?

It is not flash-friendly, because it produces more write operations than exFAT or even VFAT. Also, NTFS file system itself requires more space, leaving less for your actual data.

Thanks for the info. I did not know this. I'll be switching my cards back to exFAT unless FAT32 is required.

Is this covered in the manual of the DX120? Incidentally, the manual isn't available to download in PDF yet, right?

Just tried this player again and seem to like it a lot more than when I first tried it, so I brought it on the spot. The dynamics are very good on this player and instruments sound very life like . Just wondering how does the WM1a compare to this? I also have a zx300, is it noticeably better than the zx300?

... so I brought it on the spot...I also have a zx300, is it noticeably better than the zx300?

Since you will have both devices on hands, check it yourself and let us know!

Oh, I meant between the dx120 and WM1a .

 

[cocolinho]

I've never listened to this DX120 but I had WM1A and 99,9% chance the answer is no. DX120 won't be noticeably better than WM1A which is a reference DAP

I'm hesitating to choose between the ZX300 and the DX120...Mainly, I would use it with Beyerdynamic DT1990 Pro and iBasso IT01.
