Oh the plights and endeavors of we audiophiles. You know you're in deep when an icon bugs you.

I won't even deny it

On the subject of the Ibasso AMP9, is there any reason it only comes with a 3.5mm single ended output ?

 

[mBcHc]

AFAIK its due to space constraint

Need 2 Nutubes for balanced output but barely enough space for 1 inside iBasso amp module.

Got my AMP9 today as well, along with a new DX150 and DC01.

Haven't installed the amp yet as I just updated the player firmware and started burning it in with the stock amp. I plan to use the AMP9 most of the time and would rather burn-in both at the same time but I'm not sure if the AMP9's SE output uses both DACs?

Have you tried the Dc-01 yet ? Impressions ? I've ordered one from Penon, for the specs it seems a bargain.

I posted this in another thread:

DC01 is all metal and the hybrid wiring looks to be good quality although strain reliefs look just adequate. It's fairly light so I imagine the wires will be ok as long as you don't pull on them to much.

Tested it on my Oneplus 7 Pro and a another phone with Neutron, Poweramp, and UAPP. Everything worked except the volume control in UAPP but I was using bit-perfect. Great sound; better than I expected so far. The DC01 gets a little warm after a few minutes and no significant drop in battery life over the short span I tested it.

The New Firmware for the DX150 is now up. It has the change log in the download and it supports AMP9! Available at our Download on www.ibasso.com .

I installed the updated firmware on my DX150, but I cannot get any sound from my AMP9. I switched my AMP8 back in and it worked fine. I powered down the player and installed AMP9 again, but still no sound. Do you have any suggestions?

Have you tried a factory reset?

 

[SDBiotek]

Have you tried a factory reset?

Yes, I just did a reset, but still no sound. I have tried several headphones, tried high/low gain, adjusted the volume, etc., But no sound.

Does the AMP9 light up when you play music, the two windows on the back?

Nope, no light. I'll just have to initiate a return.

Maybe dirt in the contacts? Do you have isopropyl alcohol? You could try cleaning the contacts gently.

Please try the following:

1. update the firmware, then restart the DX150.
2. power off the DX150.
3. mount the AMP9, and make sure there is not a connection issue by pushing it on firmly.
4. plug the DX150 to a charger.
5. power on the DX150.

Thanks, I just tried all of these steps, but the AMP9 still does not power on.
