Cheaper or not , that doesn’t matter. What matters is that the amp modules are being supported, strongly!!!
I repeat, strongly!!!!
Your main DAC can be outdated for many reasons, and that is why Dx240 is released. But it is based on the already existed older amp modules
Amp 1
Amp 1 MKII
Amp 1 MKII Titanium
Amp 3
Amp 4
Amp 4s
Amp 7
Amp 8
Amp 8EX
This is to show you that Ibasso will not abandon the older product lines. I have already mentioned this many times. If it is done right, you can hold on to it, no problem at all.
Dx228EX is still hell lot of an equipment
Dx220Max is still hell lot of a performer
These guys are Super ancients btw
This also means that If Ibasso is going to release new module for Dx240, your existed 220 will still benefits!!!
Then there is the new Eco system of new Platform Module that is based on Dx300. The journey is on going, and you will never be left behind
