any sound difference you found after Fidelizer please?

It seems more musical, I really like it. Although I use Lurkers FW on my DX200 and love it. Lurkers wasn't available for DX150 when I was frustrated and went with free download of fidelizer, liked it and upgraded. Now that Lurkers is available... well we'll see. Pretty happy right now though.

ill jump to the Fidelizer then, thanks for the impression.

"The DX150 utilizes two AK4490EQ chips, and each AK4490EQ has two built-in DACs, so this means that the DX150 has two DACs in pararell for each channel".

Do you guys know if both AK4490 chips are working if it is used the SE output instead of the balanced output? Or both of them are working only if the balanced output is used?

Both will always be working. They are used in mono mode, one for left and one for right which improves their performance.

I’m burning in my DX150 using the burn-in cable provided by iBasso. I’m playing an offline album on loop through Tidal and after 7 hours I only had 13% (started at 100%).

This suggests I’d get 8 hours of battery life. I’m using stock firmware.

I thought the DX150 could go for about 10 hours. I’m wondering if others are seeing this drop in capacity or if my unit is messed up.

Thoughts?

Don't judge battery life by a burn in cable, it's not a real transducer load, it drains more current. Once you go through 100hrs of burn in, connect your favorite pair of IEMs, set it at your normal listening level, and you will see different results.

Thanks Twister6, I had wondered if it was driven by the burn-in cable. It is good to have some confirmation!

Also, I’m curious what is your impression of the DX150 vs the DX200 vs some of A&K’s new stuff?

So in that case, would you see different results using the burn in cable vs just listening to the DAP with your IEMs? If one were to believe in such things

Thank you for the information.

Something is wrong with my unit. The Bluetooth and USB transmissions have static.

BT works with 16/44.1. Anything larger and you will get no sound or static. Is the USB for OTG or are you trying to use the USB to output digital?
