How is the battery life on this? I read some early impressions that the battery life drops pretty fast

In fact, by looking at the specs the battery capacity of the DX160 is the lowest

I just put the parameters (voltage and impedance) in the calculator and that's the result I got. What did I get wrong?

sorry friend, you're right!
but this is a mathematical calculation, in reality there will be a different meaning

The DX220 is a TOTL player with not just the capabilities of Mango OS, but also has the different swappable AMP modules. It seems like many people want to use the DAP for everything under the sun AND as a DAP. Also, the DX220 has the ability to decode DSD512 whereas the DX160 can only decode DSD256. While that may not seem like a big deal to some, to many it's a game changer.

I knew that. I only listen to 16/44.1 currently, so DSD256 or DSD512 is not important to me. The DX160 is probably perfect for me, but I prefer an OS that is not Android, so Mango OS is nice. I want it to sound at least as good as a QP1R.

Whatever the "meaning", this is pure and simple power output, the SPL will be dtermined by the transducers used.

On a serious note, iBasso has released a mighty DAP in the DX160 with its slick UI & top sound. Personally speaking, using a DAP to listen music is all about the SQ which is why we are interested in DAPs. If one is looking for other functions, I guess a phone would suffice haha. Cheers!

I was being serious too

Battery life drops really fast if you turn on the screen, probably it won't last 2 ~ 3 hrs. However, with the screen off, it can last about 6 ~ 7 hrs for just playing music. With streaming app like Spotify and wifi on, it can last about 5 ~ 6 hrs.

I use the screen and play a variety of 16/44 and 24/96 etc and get over 11 hours. Don't know why you are getting a couple of hours but that isn't in the specs and that isn't what I get.

How long battery time do you get with ether 2/ stellia / utopia in balanced mode?

Just approximately

Ibasso must always send you a better upgraded model than everyone else as yours is always a faster bug free version and now with bigger batteries too

Please make sure you have a full charge and if you are still getting only a couple of hours of use have your DX160 checked. With normal use the DX160 will get much more battery life than that.

Thank you.

I report what I get in use and how the OS works. So you are calling me a liar? I am not going to say something that I don't get in use.

Playing with my DX160 for 3 days, the battery life never reach 11 hrs, and even 8 hrs. I can actually see the battery drops by 1% per a min or 2 with the screen on. I am ok with the battery life of DX160 as if can last 5 ~ 6 hrs per one charge. Not many DAP like Sony can offer exceptional long-lasting battery life, my Cowon P1 only last 5 hrs.

Turn the screen off.
