just to make sure i'm not loosing my mind, there is no optical output from SPDIF in DX150, like it is in DX200? I can't fit mini toslink cable, doesn't go deep enough, so I assume coax output only.

Mini optical works Grasshopper. You must persist.

must be a tight fit, a VERY tight fit

Yes, it works! It was tight, but I popped that...

Both coax and mini-toslink work fine with Micro iDSD BL and DX150 !!!

hahahahaha re: mini optical I tried once but surrender, I did not want to take risk with my dx150. Now it is good to read that it is compatible.
the female it must be still virgin (street joke in my country)

Surprised nobody is talking about the latest Bluetooth BT DAC/amp feature implemented in DX150/DX200 where you can pair up DX dap with your smartphone and stream audio through BT. Works perfectly between Galaxy S9 and DX150

also, while mentioned already many times, as you know a picture worth thousand words DX150 display is flush with chassis and the guard bar no longer extends over the volume wheel.

I had same problem. Try twisting the mini toslink jack (not wobbling back and forth, just rotating it) while pushing it in lightly. for me this made it go in with no more than normal pressure.

I couldn’t get it with iPhone X.

Maybe it's Android only thing? I'm not sure, just wanted others to know I got it to work with Samsung Galaxy S9. In theory, this feature only useful if you don't have access to Wifi and can use your phone as a hotspot for streaming through BT, though keep in mind that a regular BT has bandwidth limitation and that will affect some hi-res formats. But either way, just a nice option to have, if it works with your phone.

I am sure AptX-HD will be a thing later LOL! (Isn’t this Qualcomm only) It is an icing on the cake though. I can not believe what Ibasso is doing. So crazy!

My Dx200 now can use USB and live conversion of DSD512 on the fly from my Built PC into it. I am sure Dx150 can do the same with DSD256. That is super-duper crazy IMO

May be dx150 is using ak380 last gen AKM. But back In the days, did AK380 manage to get all these crazy features ?

By the way, streaming Bluetooth for my IPad Pro is excellent in audio quality! It was a little tricky at first, but I kept doing it and it worked

Think this will be on my shortlist - Hiby R6, DX150 or A&K Norma.... Hoping will be a nice upgrade from my current Pixel2 > A&K XB10 over bluetooth. Looking forward to further reviews.

Probably going to regret posting this, but there is a box opened one on amp3 at the moment for a bargainous £279.00. Must say I'm tempted, but given I've just got the hiby R6 back I really don't need it so looking to do other uk headfiers a favour! Wouldn't hang about as it won't hang around long at that point (please someone buy it to save my wallet from myself!).
