So if I install powerAmp, its settings will be used in both Mango OS and Android? And I don't understand how I'm supposed to use the Mango OS PEQ. What's with the filters? The only one that makes sense is the All Pass Filter and it says: 'There is no effect, beside the central frequency. Gain setting is ineffective with all pass filter'. I see no information on how to actually put in info. In a regular PEQ you just add the frequencies, the Q-factor and the gain.

There is no separate Mango OS on the DX170, there is just Android OS, and you use the Mango Player App to play your local files (or any Music App you download via APK Pure or Google Play Store)

I'll be posting my thoughts later this week. I'd like to do a video comparison of the UI speed vs DX160 for our video. Anyone have anything in particular they'd like to see tested on the device?
I don't have very many other DAPs available to compare against, so I'll probably use the DX160, A&K SR25 MKII, and DX240 as my main reference points (i.e. is this a major improvement over 160, is this competitive with A&K's higher price offering, and how close does this come to the 2x more expensive 240).

Can't wait to see your review Stephen. I know it might be a long shot but I would love to know how the 64 Audio Trio sounds

Great to see US dealers starting to get these in stock! Hopefully @Audio46 gets their stock in this week as well.

Looking forward to your review! My DX160 can still work for a while.

Why get the DX170 if you already own the M11 Plus?

Form factor I guess

Can someone post a picture of the 170 next to the 320? I am curious of the size difference.

while the M11 Plus has a faster processor and more RAM, the thing is a beast. Its huge, thick and heavy, and I'm just looking for something smaller, lighter, thinner. Plus with Android 11 rather than Android 10, the DX170 is slightly more future proof for use with Apps imo.

(320)162mm*77mm*17mm (310g) vs (170)124.5mm*70mm*15mm (162g)
None of them are brick, but IMHO dx160 (dx170 is slightly lighter) is maximal pocketable.

Weight of 320 is corrected, many retail website has wrong info.

Those weight specs for DX320 are incorrect I believe. It’s 310g.

I got them from google results from moon-audio, bloomaudio, but you are right, from ibasso website, it should be 310g.

If you could check out the PEQ and maybe explain what Filters are/how to use Filters in it (manual doesn't tell you how to input frequencies, Q factor and gain. I couldn't understand the point of the Filters. It looked to me like they were quite inflexible). Sure, powerAmp is a natural alternative (100% easy to use) but why even include an on board PEQ if it's too complicated to comprehend immediately?
