Yeah, I just sent an e-mail to Paul asking to buy one. Curious as well.Samsies.
i ordered a amp11 mark 2 yesterday also.
my curiosity got the better of me...
Cheers!

While waiting for the LO amp...
Why not singing with spotify...
uuu.. interesting to know your thought about it..
Wait ! Amp11 MKII isn’t the dedicated LO module ... or did I read you wrong ? Lol

HD800S?!The conclusion: Amp11 MKII brought all the attentions from me and adhered it upon the Dx300 alone by itself....
Ex1000 and Z1R , HD800s is with C9 most of the time, except when I amHD800S?!
I am interested in purchasing a DX300. So, will the "AMP12" be sold as an option to the DX300 in lieu of the AMP11? Or, will it be a separate add on purchase? I realize that this is a product packaging decision TBD by iBasso, but it's an important question to answer because the answer could have people waiting to make the purchase until the "AMP12" is available.I think there is some confusion. Just to clear things up, AMP11 MKII is a stock default DX300 amp now, released due to a shortage of components which forced iBasso to update the original one, and AMP11 MKII will have all the same ports as the original AMP11. From what has been shared in the thread already, the next new amp (AMP12, I assume) should have a dedicated balanced 4.4mm LO and phone output, assuming balanced as well. The next amp card is not LO only.
Yeah, but why would I want an extra AMP that only has an extra port? Why not just create an option with the extra LO feature as an optional upgrade at time of purchase so you don't have this spare Amp that you don't need?Amp12 is probably the upgrade module which is probably being in plan and hatching from eggs.
Amp11 MKII is stock for new DX300. Older DX300 has Amp11 MKI. If people who has MKI and want to buy MKII, they can email Paul and request to see if Ibasso has stocks
I expect Amp12 will be an additional purchase as how dx200 and 220 with it modular amp were
Different amp, different design, different implementations, different sound, and so different spaces being utilized, which resulted in different features as wellYeah, but why would I want an extra AMP that only has an extra port? Why not just create an option with the extra LO feature as an optional upgrade at time of purchase so you don't have this spare Amp that you don't need?

Maybe I am missing something. What does this dedicated LO offer you that is different than the non-dedicated line out that is offered with the stock product? If I compare the AMP 11 with the AMP 12, what exactly is different about them? Is it only the dedicated LO port? If the only difference is a port, then selling it as a separate amp is a bad product decision. I can see if there are other features of the AMP12 that are different than AMP11 then it might make sense. But, if it is just a single port, that's bad design. It's terribly inefficient to have a separate part number that requires inventory for distributors and service centers and it makes customers buy something with marginal incremental utility. I guess this answers my own question. IF iBasso creates a dedicated line out feature, it will bundle in other things as well so that it can be sold as a true upgrade. But that begs the question once again. Should a customer have to buy both AMP11 and AMP 12 to get AMP 12 features? Or, can it be offered as an option at time of purchase DX300 vs DX300 SE?I can't speak for iBasso, but this is how it was with DX200, DX220, DX150, and could be with DX300. Each DAP comes with a stock amp module that covers the original intended sound signature of the player. Especially with AMP11x they made it appeal to everybody by covering 2.5mm, 3.5mm, and 4.4mm with phone outputs and Line Out on each port. Other amp modules in previous releases were optional upgrades with either a different sound signature or a different functionality.
The only reason I posted above was for clarification since a few people pinged me about it already, thinking that AMP11 MKII is a new amp with a separate LO
Line Out means that it only output the Signals purely right after the DAC Low pass filters and Line buffers. Usually Line Buffers have different voltages output as an options, some is with very low voltage and some is with higher voltage with the typical of balanced to be 4.0V or even higher. This is dedicatedly measured and engineered by the engineering teams to achieve the lowest noise floor and highest dynamic range without clipping....However it does not get any other amplifications done. It means that You will need an external Amplifier in order to use this Line Out featuresMaybe I am missing something.
