Any chance to recharge the amp section through standard usb charger or directly trought usb of the PC? So I suppose the existence of a cable it has one side usb and the other side the dc-in.
I believe it would be very confortable if you forget the wall charger included or if you want to travel lighter.

This kind of cable works with my samsung phone's adapter. Didnt test with computer usb though.

Does anyone experience a slight clicking/popping noise when first starting to play music on the MAX?

Any fixes?

Are you on the latest firmware and have you done a factory reset?

I got it from time to time, and I think that is some transistors being switched on, which is pretty normal I would say. Especially there are 3-4 outputs on the devices without relay

Yes I updated to the latest firmware last night.

I haven’t tried a factory reset though.

Hello out there

I am very satisfied with the Ibasso DX220 MAX, but I have a question about the DAC volume for those of you with a keen ear.

With the Campfire Solaris (10 ohm version) I am often between 8 and 9 o’clock with the analog volume.

That's why I'm tempted to lower the DAC volume to around 100 - 120 to get more scope for analog volume adjustments. But … it is recommend setting the value between 132~150 to get the best result.

What would I lose in terms of quality going below 132 (has anyone of you already tried this)?

Thanks in advance

Technically speaking, you will loose dynamic ranges. But whether you can observe the differences would be the real questions

Old guy's perfect classic MAX morning, along with fresh coffee, yum yum.

This picture is for reminding what you'll see when device failing to boot properly. If we have side buttons, it can be resolved safely. Unfortunately, there's no official statement for recovering from this situation when device is soft bricked yet.

Anyway, it's possible to perform complete system modification and flash from computer. I already have DX220 MAX ROM image dumped and will work on ports soon.

Excellent news , the more firmware modified , the better!!!

However, Lurker latest tweaks on firmware is a real performance bringer for free. People who loves airiness and details shall check it out

I know. I'd love to release DX220Max Purist ROM right now but I won't do that for safety reason. If customer makes a mistake or there's some conflicts causing software brick problem, they can't use volume control or play button to recover from brick status.

I'll release DX220Max firmware for DX220/DX200/DX160/DX150 for now only. If there's public instructions about failsafe solution in case user bricks DX220Max device, I'll release DX220Max version later.

So long story short, DX220Max Purist ROM is here but I'll release it when there's failsafe method to recover from software brick status. This will reduce burden on iBasso's generous support.

P.S. DX220Max kernel seems to work on DX220 device. I'll test this out later and see if it will fry my DX220 DAP or amp module lol.

Probably if someone or IBasso could allow fast boot options with ADB or MTK tool.

My general review of set or impressions is now live on head-fi.

nore an old school stream of consciousness piece with oodles of general iformation:

Probably if someone or IBasso could allow fast boot options with ADB or MTK tool.

I can access fastboot, I can access loader mode, I can access recovery mode. I can dump ROM, flash ROM, make DX220Max Purist ROM working on DX220Max.

The issue is when device get soft brick like corrupted boot image or system partition, it'll get bootloop or reboot into recovery. And you'll be stuck there not being able to choose anything because they removed volume control and don't implement touch screen support in recovery.

So. I won't release my modded ROM on iBasso DX220Max device even if it will work fine until user can have failsafe recovery method that they can perform themselves.

MTK tool.

Did you mean, Rockchip?

It's quite easy to enter the LOADER mode using ADB, even from the recovery console (I've done it with DX220Max!), for an experienced user, of course. The worst trouble is boot loop. My bootable SD-card is the solution even in case of a boot loop, but not for commercial use, obviously.
