Zeppelin and Co is defiantly authorized
2599 SGD = 1822.83 USD I assume they do worldwide shipping but haven’t checked

Zeppelin and co are in Singapore, the prices are in Singapore dollars.
Or do you mean they also have 999 units to sell? It says “ 999 available worldwide, limited local stocks” so just 999 total everywhere

I expect it to last similarly to Dx220 and an amp module. That means 6-8 hours ?

but that is an interesting questions

Batter life has never been the DX220's strong suit. So I'm hoping it does better then with the AMP8


**** it. Pre-order placed.

v curious how this max fares with something like benchmark dac3

same chip, similar price point too..

I hope so too, I am just saying it as a guess. Logically is that the main DAC battery is the same as Dx220 and the amp uses it own batteries. That means the whole system should last for a while. But even DMP Z1 only goes up to 8-10 hours

You are talking about a stand-alone DAC that requires a transport and a wall plug

Dx220Max is an oversized portable player

I tend to skip songs way to much to ever see 8 hours. June can't come soon enough

absolutely, as in i was referring to the implementation aspect

It is a good question, it depends which battery or batteries depletes first.
In theory it should last longer than the DX220 AMP8 combo as the same 4400mah battery is not having to power an AMP section just the SOC/Screen/DAC but it depends how quickly those separately charged (4 * 900mah) deplete. Also if the AMP battery level is even visible/monitorable from Android. It may just give us a low battery red LED or something.

On the weight note, the DMP is 2,200 Gram and Dx220Max is 700Gr....woaaaaa now this is exciting....kann cube is 820Gr or so

I also wonder how do you know when the amp batteries run low ?

 

[Nayparm]

Anyone notice the AMP section is still plug-able (internally)

Yeah, I saw that too!!
It has 128Gb internal ROM too, where as the normal dx220 is 64Gb

That was actually the reason I asked about the SoC frequency, as I remember it was limited to 1.2 GHz, rather than 1.5 GHz specified max. frequency of the SoC. Maybe I am wrong, but if that was the case, it should be possible to boost to max. frequency to improve the application performance with such a dedicated larger digital only battery.

I think they reused the DX220 board - so it is I guess more like DX220 + AMP-MAX (+128G storage).

Then how does it get 128gB ? Can’t upgrade 1 chip alone lol
