I wonder if the battery pack for the analog part is also powering the analog VDD of the DACs, or both analog and digital VDDs of the DACs are powered by the digital battery and the analog battery pack is powering only the amplification part. The DAC has separate analog and digital power supply lines.

The way I see it, this design is inspired by DMP Z1. Digital battery is running the whole digital processing block and 4 separates batteries are running entirely amplifications with 1 each per signal lines.

So that means the analog supplies to analog conversions are running off that Main Digital block battery

just guessing by logic

Does anyone know if the 220 max will 8x unfold mqa in the tidal app while streaming?

When the DX220 Max is available for sale after the pandemic viral crisis?

 

[ExpatinJapan]

some places have pre orders up.

always check if its an authorized dealer of course

Makes sense. As I understand, AVDD needs to be the same supply with extra filtering for digital noise, not really a separate source.

It would of been nice if they found some way to incorporate the AMP9 into the Max as well. Though I guess with so many having a hiss from that AMP I can see why not.
That or a balanced AMP9, if that's even possible.

Preordered via bloom audio.

I did my best to undertand what a superclass A is.

 

[Infoseeker]

When I tried to read about it....I think it is related to the matter of using separate multiple batteries to feed the amp section?


Anyone know if android app Wavelet will be compatible with Ibasso software? It requires Android 9.

Will the Ibasso 220max be stuck in 8.1 due to the SoC?

I think super class A is sound great like class A but power comsumption low like class B.

Bloom Audio says that "999 units are being made worldwide". Are they referring to the first batch or is that the actual full extend of the production run?

Actual run from Ibasso, I think I have heard that first batch are going to be gradually produced 500 first
