Thanks! Perhaps a bit beyond my budget. Anything $300 or less?The Fiio FH7 is great with it!

Audiosense T800. Flagship model. I paired up with ISN C16 copper cable. U won't be disappointed.

Yes. Also, if u are in US. Get from
https://www.linsoul.com/products/audiosense-t800
They have quite good services.
Changing cable to 4.4mm balanced to get most out of DX160. you will be amazed compare to 3.5mm SE.
Have a look on some head-fi review too to see if fits your style.
Cheers

I'm using the C16 as I want more low end extension.
Take a look. They are both sturdy cables. very good made won't break your bank. The sound with DX160 is very enjoyable. Give both at least 50-80 hrs to run in.
Cheers,

What IEMs do you use it with?
I only use sub 80 Dollars IEM's.... Rather have three hyped cheap iems than one.
Lurking for the Starfield.

I'm not surprised that you don't have noise issues then.I only use sub 80 Dollars IEM's.... Rather have three hyped cheap iems than one.

I'm not surprised that you don't have noise issues then.
When do you hear??When Playing music in dark part or on pause?
BTW a good rec is the app Naptime.
Having great standby times. No need to worry about closing apps wifi bt etc.

I haven't experienced it myself as I'm hesitant to buy this DAP. Actually I'm quite sure that I'll look elsewhere as WiFi interferences are absolutely unacceptable for me. And if the workaround means that I won't have sufficient wifi signal anymore...no need to elaborate I guess.When do you hear??When Playing music in dark part or on pause?
You'll only be able to hear noise with extremely sensitive IEMs.
edit: if you wanna read more about it go to page 83 of this thread.

I have KZ AS10, tinaudio T2, KZ ZSX, KZ ZSE, KZ ZS5 v1, TRN V20. Audiosense T180. BLON-03.
Audeze Sine, OKCSC ZX1, Takstar Pro, Msur N650.
I don't keep track which is sensitive or not. All do not have interference.

The most exreme scenario seems to be: be close to your wifi router, use streaming app, touch display while listening to music. It's definitely an issue as many have reported it. Some seem to be blessed with no interferences but who knows why. Maybe the scenario is not right, maybe IEM is not sensitive enough, maybe units are actually different...I have KZ AS10, tinaudio T2, KZ ZSX, KZ ZSE, KZ ZS5 v1, TRN V20. Audiosense T180. BLON-03.

edit: maybe wifi transmit strength is lowered by default on newer units?

Or you can say a few have been reported and the rest is non issued. Because the thread isn't cluttered with complaints.
For my unit... I guess it's not a new batch because I had to do two updates.
All i can say i am very happy with the purchase.
Only con is wifi range... So on places with bad reception i use my smartphone as WiFi hotspot.
I am still planning to do some mods with other antennas. They are on the way.

Nah, there are way too many reports for it to be just a rare occurrence imo. Reviewers have reported it and ibasso was able to reproduce it. And since I own one of the most sensitive IEMs out there I guess I'll just go for Fiio M11. I can really use the two sd card slots too.
From one reviewer the noise seems to be present only at the unbalanced output using sensitive earphones.
