The DX160 with Empire Ears Spartan IV is insanely transparent and natural sounding, and won't ravage your finances. Seriously, this setup doesn't sound like gear, but actually being there for a live performance. Love it!

Paul, can you tell me if the DX160 can be used as a transport with digital output from the USB C connection?

It didn't work with iFi micro iDSD BL. But, I was able to connect DC01 usb/dac dongle; it got recognized but volume was set to a max level, and UAC volume app doesn't work with DX160.

UAC volume app doesn't work with DX160

iBasso published an update a day ago. Did you try it?

Yeah, used the latest one, wasn't able to adjust the volume.

What's the battery life on this dap like? It severely hampers any enjoyment I get out of the dx220.

People have reported 9 hours with screen off and playing FLAC mostly.(on balanced out)

Any comparisons to the DX220? Any info should be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Is there any leather case in the foreseen future? I would really like a leather case if I can get my hands on a DX160...

Did some unboxing and initial measurements on the performance of the DX160 - 720p option is very useful indeed.

Thanks for the reply mate. With max volume, is it's use as a USB transport compromised, other than just having to control volume from my headphone amp?

Regarding max volume (specific to DC01), that's why they created their own UAC app which is compatible with many Android devices. Perhaps they need to check compatibility with DX160 to fix it.

Does anyone know if Google music will be able to be downloaded through a apk? And if you use the USB Dac part of it with a computer or something can you use the EQ to adjust the sound.

Lots of Japan posts popping up on my Twitter feed of what looks like Japanese people getting their DX160 in the last two days.
