For a wide stage, maybe thicker copper? I like the Plussound wires, they give a rich sound, delicate.

Such a nice looking cable, it's pure silver/copper alloy. Feels great. Testing starts in a few minutes.

An hour into testing.
The DX312EX has some great synergy with the IT07, especially when the CB16 is mixed in. This cable is honestly great lol, the peaks on the treble feel more under control, less fatiguing. Added bonus, it looks amazing and feels amazing, it's not an annoying cable to handle. The rest sounds mostly the same to me. No need for the Dunu Blanche.

Side note, I don't feel like I'm having the best battery life on the DX300. The digital battery drains about 1 percent every 5-7 minutes if the screen is on. It's a second hand unit, seller advertised battery life as new but seeing people mention it can go up to 15 hours really puts doubts into my mind. So far I've managed around 4 hours tops of listening time after my last full charge and I'm sitting at 47% with 53 minutes of screen usage. Considering rooting for the battery benefits.

just saw your post on facebook, how are you liking the amp?
I literally installed it a few minutes ago
Just after I shot the picture
Now it sounds really nice but it has less than 2 hours TT and my DX300 about 20 something
But noticed the soundstage is opening up

CB16 cable should arrive today, gonna give that a test with the dx312ex + it07 later. If I'm not a huge fan of the cable, I may consider trying something like the Dunu Blanche which is pure silver and with more cores. So far, the stock silver cable sounds best, the GU craftsman silver 2.5mm to 4.4mm dongle isn't bad but it takes away a bit of the soundstage vs just the stock cable alone. Tried the Kinera Leyding cable as well, still prefer the silver. We'll see how the cb16 goes.
I am using the DUNU DUW-02 (OG) cable on mine, and it sounds marvelous. It IS SPC, but I find no deficiencies over the silver cable, other than taming the (slightly) boosted presence region; along with the black filter.
Does the Amp12 uses so much more juice vs Amp11 Mk II ... 🤔
No, it should not... Matter of fact, that you are getting just less than 10 hours (doing the math from your last measure), I would say that either you have rogue app(s), or the battery is not in good shape. As new as it is, someone would have to have seriously abused the battery to get it to be so damaged so early on.

My point is that it seems more likely that either there was an issue from the factory (defective battery to begin with), or you have something draining it faster than normal. Have you tried resetting it, and clearing cache, and maybe even also reinstall the FW? This should get rid of anything lingering that might cause this issue IMO.

Also, don't forget that android devices need for you to (once in a while) run it till' it is dead, and then charge it to full. Sometimes the OS loses track of the battery capacity, and needs recalibrated.
