There are huge differences between aptX and AptX-HD but the only AptX-HD that is worth it is DSR9BT from ATH, nothing else in my opinion. So the wireless market is still very limited
Man I’m so on the fence about getting amp 8 for my DX150...hmmmmm.
Wondering how it will sound with the IT04’s.
Edit .... well that lasted about an hour and I caved and bought Amp 8
Different DAC, sound will not be completely same.Quite a few AMP8's ordered in the DX200 thread. Some first impressions already posted if you're interested. What applies to DX200 will pretty much apply to DX150 as well.
Hardware doesn't support .After nearly a month without input, I'd like to repeat my questions. Is it realistic that we will see an aptX and aptX HD implementation and support for the DX150 one day?
Dat Ei
So is it's a crapsung get rid of it. It's not all codec but hardware also.My Crapsung Note 8 on Exynos has got AptX, so that one doesn't stick. I guess it's all about the costs of all the necessary certificates and stuff. As far as I know, AptX/AptX HD is just a codec but the bt modem has to be compatible with it.

I've owned both at the same time and the sound is very similar. I sold the DX200 and kept the DX150. IMO the difference is very small.Different DAC, sound will not be completely same.
But Amps are compatible with each.

I just got the AMP8 and it is way too boomy in the bass department. I hope a burnin will calm that down. If not it's going back to iBasso.

Even without burn-in, the bass is not boomy. But I agree about burn in, it will need at least 300 hours in generalI'm not an expert on these matters, but my understanding is that capacitors generally change the way they influence the sound signature after a hefty burn-in period; 100-300 hours.
The AMP8 is full of high quality capacitors, and previous iBasso products (both AMP and IEM) have shown something of a pattern of an slightly strong or untamed bass, that subsequently settles down beautifully after burn-in.
I'd focus on burning it in as much as possible in the next 10 days or so, before looking into a refund.
Of course, everyone's taste varies, so even if it changes, it may still not be to your taste
I'm pairing with Audeze LCDi-4s and Noble Kaiser Encores. I have quit a few other headphones that I'm going to try with it once I get my XLR to 4.4mm adapter.What are you pairing it with ? Because that is pretty extreme, and is totally opposite of what I hear from Amp8+200+800S. Good thing Ibasso has 14 days!!
