According to GSam battery manager my device is being held awake and wifi is active even when in standby. Not sure if an app or the OS is causing this.

Might be the OS. I have removed most of the apps in the dx160 (apps that can be uninstalled and disabled) and my standby time is pretty good, I guess. But the results I have are with wifi turned off when Im not using the dx160.

Standby battery life is fine if I disable wifi.

I have 2020 edition. Never had issues with wifi/BT in 2019 edition (and I had 2 of those), just that BT range was shorter than DX220 and other DAP. 2020 edition doesn't behave any different than 2019 edition in my case. I don't know if there is variation from unit to unit, thus my opinion is based on testing 2x 2019 models and one 2020 model.

I have the 2019 version and its wifi is barely usable even at 5ghz. BT range is terrible too. If yours dont have wifi issues then maybe reviewers get better units. I hope not.

I have a 2019 version and I have absolutely no issues with WiFi. I don’t use BT so I can’t offer an opinion there.

I want to believe those are not cherry picked lol!!! Not here to defend iBasso or other manufacturers whose products I've reviewed. I can only share my experience with what I have in my hands. But from what I have seen, iBasso was pretty forthcoming when they find a problem with their stuff. When they had ghost screen issues, they came forward right away, when people were talking about BT performance, they admitted about using a different chipset with a shorter range, and even 2020 version and that display change, I'm surprised they felt guilty about difference in colors and compensated it with new buffers (also offering to upgrade 2019 users).
Don't get me wrong, I don't dismiss any claims about people having issues related to BT or wifi, and I'm glad people make their voice heard to see if others experiencing the same. But, also, since the last year I received multiple dozens of messages from people who are confused after reading DX160 thread because they don't find any issues with their BT or Wifi and they are asking me if they need to test it differently or how to make it fail lol!!!

I agree with ibasso being a good company for stepping up their honesty game. However, wouldnt it be worse now that we know that some users dont have wifi problems while some are having a difficult time using their dx160 with wifi enabled? Dont get me wrong, whenever friends ask me for a DAP, I immediately recommend for them to get an ibasso since I enjoy mine despite the issues.
And soundwise??

Correct me if Im wrong, I think he said that the sound difference isnt night and day and is very subtle. The difference in display quality is very noticeable though, specially if you have both 2019 and 2020 versions. Twister was very detailed on how he reviewed the 2020 version
Sorry didn't read the review.... I will look it up.
