It seems that iBasso has announced the DX170 on their weibo page

Everything we know so far:

• Presale on July 13th
• Android 11
• FPGA-Master + Dual Femtosecond Crystal Oscillator
• 5" 1080p Sharp Screen 445ppi
• 2 x Cirrus Logic CS43131 DAC
• Rockchip RK3566 SoC

A DX160 successor?

 

[e-dub]

Oh, WORD?

 

[Pradeep A]

Cost ?

 

[Dizm0]

Come on now. I already have 2 other DAPs I'm looking at getting, my collection doesn't need a third

Sharp 5 inch screen, 1080p
FPGA-Master

Dual CS43131 flagship DAC, carefully designed OPA+BUF amplification line, bringing better listening.

More info, SVMFP!

Cirrus Logic eh? Too many daps hitting the market at the same time, and I need another like I need a hole in my head. The upcoming Hiby RS looks sweet (R2R) , as does the Shanling M6 Ultra (Quad AK4493).

 

[alwass89]

Seems like they will be using the RK3566 SoC

The dap market is becoming like the mobile phone one with everyone racing to get as many new models out before the other competitors.

This looks interesting!

The DX170 uses ibasso's flagship down-of-life technology FPGA-Master+NDK femtosecond crystal oscillator, and decodes dual CS43131 flagship DACs, laying a solid foundation for its sound performance. Relative to DX160, SoC upgraded to RK3566, 4-core A55, main frequency 1.8Ghz, embedded NPU (neural network processor), memory upgrade to LPDDR4, Antu rabbit running score of about 100,000 points, while the system uses Android 11 open system, so that DX170 has far exceeded its price point and similar competitors smooth performance; At the same time, there are a number of important upgrades. SPDIF uses FPGA-Master drivers to achieve CM-384Khz, DSD256 (Dop mode) output, DX160 only to 192Khz. WIFI upgraded to WIFI6, WiFi Bluetooth performance has been greatly improved compared to DX160.
