Man! This thing is heavy. Just holding it like a smartphone trying to finish setting it up and after 30 minutes my wrist starting to get sore. Lol.

Can you pocket it the way 2Max is ? Maybe 3Max titanium will be lighter !!!

In a jacket pocket maybe, no way this thing is going in my pant pockets. Lol

A morning coffee after leaving it playing with earphones and then the burn in cable (on shuffle) for 24 hours (and a little listening).

it got hot as some daps do with the initial caps burn in - around 6-8 hours - then chassis was cool again.

out of the box its good. Like the DX300 was.

—————————————-

Listened to some DX220Max yesterday after a while of absence.

Differences are quite audible

- but not by a huge stretch- …so far…in the same ballpark.

“same same, but different’

But hifi/neutral (220max) vs analog/natural (DX300max)…..EARLY DAYS.

Like the DX220Max- the filters are very close. Hard for me to discern the differences. On the DX300 it was quite different between the filters- immediately noticeable.
No NOS filter on the Max.

DX220Max is amazing - but perhaps too pure in a way. Beautiful.
DX220Max was fantastic with a8000 final audio etc.But just a bit too breath taking at times. In a good way.

If you get what i mean.

Dx220 amp8EX is wonderful, but that battery life etc… (sold my purchased amp8EX the other week).

Dx300 is a sweet spot with the slight coloration (amp11mark2). Fast ui etc.

Where the DX300max fits in is another question. I need more listening time.

Ibasso releases seem to be an ever ongoing combo of the previous two releases

Kind of an inwards spiral

Taking the best from each,
Moving towards some imagined sonic perfection

DX300max Separation and imaging is amazing as expected.



i need more time with the device, and also do some decent volume matched comparisons.

and pass any honeymoon period etc etc

so far so good.
