I haven't gotten any beeps on WiFi either. I did pick up a little interference earlier today using the IT03 with the DX150 but it quickly went away. I was on a plane at the time sitting right next to the emergency exit door. One the flight attendant armed the door, it went away. Perhaps a coincidence but that's the only time I've heard anything unexpected with the DX150 so far.

Hi

If you are using the same amp module, how does the DX150 compare to the DX200?

Regards

That is the next thing I have to test, but my preliminary data is that they sound the same with the same AMP module :)

Or at least similar enough that it is becoming hard to tell them apart...

Thanks for the answer. The reason I asked is I wondered if things learnt from the DX200 might have been incorporated and even improved upon in the DX150 and therefore produce a similar performance, even though it's at a lower price point.

Don't have Q5, but doesn't it have the same DAC as X7ii? In that case when you have the same dac/amp combo you can expect a similar sound.

DX200 and DX150 share the same modular design to take advantage of sharing the same interchangeable amp modules, but they have different DACs so you should expect a sound variation. Besides, why would a company release a product at almost half the price and identical performance of their flagship which going to kill sales of their flagship :wink: There has to be some trade off.

I'm slowly getting through my review queue, so hopefully will get to dx150 and new amp modules and all the comparison soon.
