as always, quick service Paul!
this is the motive I've chosen the dx150 instead of others and the amazing sound of course.
I totally agree ! That is why I love Ibasso
and the bigger brother 200

Hi @Paul - iBasso I just tried using the beta android update for DX150 and it was smooth like butter, however when trying the official update it is really sluggish...I hope you can upload a new update or I don't what to do really

Anyone here tried the Hiby R6 Pro? compared to the DX150+ Amp8?

Would it be possible to video the performance issue? We can't duplicate it as the latest FW has been very responsive on our test DX150s. I would like to know the SD card used, and if others were tried, the number of files would also help. If you can, can you send a video to service@ibasso.com and to me at paul@ibasso.com. WeTransfer is free and can be used, if you are able to do this.

I already sent the videos in the emails you gave and ill upload it here also
When Using the Official Firmware
When Using the Beta Firmware
Also tempted to get an AMP7, is it really a big quality jump with AMP6? Do you notice difference night and day? Is it worth the big investment? And the battery, remains the same or loses hours of work ...
Thanks in advance.

I feel it is a big quality jump as you get a more refined sound, hence a worthy investment. I have not tested the battery from different amp modules but from the information provided online regarding the DX150 with AMP6, the play time is approximately 10.5 hours while for the AMP7, 7.5hours. However, play time varies with different sample/bit rates, volume and headphone/IEM loads. Hope this helps. Cheers!
Very grateful for the information ... My money is limited, and I can not get to a Dx200 and its Sabre Dacs ... I seek to improve the DX150 with Amp7, and find a more dynamic and fast sound, and not as slow and warm as I have now with the AMP6 .... Do you think I can find some of this with the AMP7 / AMP6 change, or should I save and go for Dx200?
I'm going to use an Se846, Se535, IMR R1, Akg K812 ang Fostex th900 mkii

Dx200 is a more appropriate answer for you, but that will hurt your pocket though

What about the amp8 or amp4s for the dx150? Will make the sound less colored?

The amp is important, but so as is the source and the converter. Over here , you are seeing AKM which has it own modulation and signature, such is called Velvet signature ? It is totally different than Sabre’s. That is likely the main problems that you are having, and I recommended the Dx200 because it seems that your preferences is toward Sabre’s instead.
You can always do both the 150 and 200 and use all modules to compare. But you can also head over to @twister6 to look up those impressions that he published also. Have fun!
Thanks, but now is impossible for me... I'll save money and wait for the Dx200
