Someone should try connecting its line out to a real desktop amp and we will know its DAC section limits.

It still needs burn in to do its justices. I will have that done for sure as I will be using it as a line out source by a lot of time

By the way Vince was right, listening to local music library in MangoOS is a night and day difference Imho.
For that purpose I will default to Mango from now on

If that's the case then Android has not been very well implemented on the DX300. Especially if you hear it as "night and day".

Listening tonight it doesn't sound like night and day difference, I confess.
Don't know if it is a matter of (brain) burn in, respectively the D3 filter which I started with at the end of my listening session yesterday.
Anyway I can say that today I am enjoying it more than I did at the beginning yesterday.

night and day differences is very subjective as well when applied upon sound performances LOL!!! A DMP-Z1 isn’t night and day different than an SP2K for example.

Yes, the Dx300 appreciate burn-in process for sure. Let it burn in before having serious thought of letting it go. The better the performances, the better the build, the longer the burn in. My DMP Z1 took almost 1100 hours before it stopped changing

New firmware v1.01.186 on ibasso.com

https://ibasso.com/uploadfiles/download/DX300FWota-1.01.186.rar

Can someone post again what actually has been fixed in this new firmware update?
Am wondering...

No, it is not normal. I have talked to quite a few people with DX300, most have cases with a tight secure fit. But a few, including myself, got it from a defective batch where playback control buttons are not aligned and there is a gap at the bottom of the case, so DX300 slides out by merely tilting it. I guess these cases are made by 3rd party and one batch fell through the crack, but I have been told iBasso will take care of it with a replacement.

Thx for investigating! What is the recommended standard procedure?
a. Ask the reseller one bought it from?
b. Reaching out to Ibasso personally and if yes, how?

To add to the confusion, the D numbers in Mango OS are in a different order than Android.

Has anybody else used the Dx300 with HiFiman Sundara's?

I purchased these today and I need the amp on high gain and volume up at almost 80% to get decent volume !!!!!

Where is it?

Where is it?

In the root of the Zip

2. Rectified the bug that there is a low possibility that the screen would not display anything. (Mango OS)
3. Improved the compatibility of the USB digital output. (Mango OS)
4. Rectified the bug that when using coaxial output, multi-channel DSD can't be played. (Mango OS)
5. Rectified some interface display errors. (Mango OS)

When you do a download, you have to open the downloaded file and in that there will be a zip file that is the firmware.
