That was quick! I presume battery was partially charged prior to packing. It states a two hour charge for the Analouge section and a three hour charge for the Digital section from almost empty.

12V charger this time! Damnit. My usb-c to 5.5mm-DC cable is 15v for the 220max.

Up and running... First point... damn those screen protectors. I've never had luck successfully attaching them. Will give it another go soon. Secondly, the indented holes that accept the plugs from your headphones/IEM's be aware that if you have non rounded or thick plugs you might have an issue inserting them. My UM Mest MK2's (with squarish ends) just made it in without too much alarm. First ten minutes of Sound? Bloodyhell! It's good! Playing Tidal Masters to begin with. It's good!

Snap! Mine arrived an hour ago. Let the tests begin. Here are some photos to keep you all up to date of presentation.
Nice. Mine arrived too. I've been away and got home just as the Fed ex van arrived so that was good timing and bodes well.

I didn't expect two guys in the UK to be the first to get them. Fair play to Amp3. Excited.

I am thinking the DX300Max could be a mish mash of parts left over from current DX300 and previous DX220max. Like a chef that is creating a new dish. No need to bother with official specs just throw a bit of this and and a splash of that. And Whala.

I am wondering why the lack of official specs though. Wondering if some of the parts might have some variation.

Regardless I haven't been this excited for a new source is a good while. More impressions please.

Picked mine up earlier today, spent a few hours listening on it today. Compared it with a few of my DAP, huge step up from DX300, arguably better than N6ii-Ti R01 too. Have yet to pit it up against N8, SP2k, and WM1Z, maybe tomorrow. Definitely sounds good, will also try and do a double brick combo with C9 tomorrow too.

SoC, DAC, meaning the complete digital part is different between the three. Analog section is at least partially different due to the new DACs and I/V section, chasis is different, even the leather case is different.

Eight DAC Channels though through the MAX300. How many are in a Phone? I've no idea. Just playing through my Sundara's now... very nice!
