We don’t know for sure, but we all know that

1/ DX line with the number to indicate it segment. For example the DX150 is below Dx200 or Dx220. Then I don’t know, but Dx150 has module and dx160 doesn’t. They probably are the same tier with different category

The DX160 is far superior compared to the DX150 though.

Thanks for the confirmation on the observation of the number being the key in Ibasso line up. I just never tried 150, so I couldn’t tell

OK, so what do we know so far? Snapdragon 660 SoC, 6GB RAM, 64GB ROM, most likely very fast performance. Then, volume wheel which reminds of DX160 and has a power button inside, very convenient to turn the display on/off while keeping your thumb on the wheel.

And, the next clue is modular design. Most likely amplifier module (not dac/amp), bigger in size and also slimmer since chassis look quite slim. Obviously, module is associated with headphone and/or LO jacks so theoretically it should slide-in from the bottom. We got the first shot of DX300 bottom, and it was intentionally left blurry. I just cropped that part and zoomed in, still very blurry. But, is this my imagination or could there be 2 screws closer to the edges, if you look from a distance? Also, something is between 3.5mm and 4.4mm ports?

Yes, It was such a tease!! When is the Japan live streaming ? There could be a button between the 2 ports “release mechanism” instead of the screws hold ? But it could also be a marking for phones out LOL

I do NOT agree. My DX150 never died from letting the battery drain down, like DX160 does.

Not a good place for a release button when you plug/unplug the cables Maybe it is one of the screws or some status led. Wasn't people saying the Japan live stream supposed to be on Friday?

so no tube amp

Close up I can’t see a thing, but when pull the screen back I see the Shroud of Turin. Eh.

And I am still waiting for that lol

Paul only said Amp 9 wouldn't fit (not sure if any of the other modules would), but that doesn't mean they couldn't design a different tube amp card in the future...
Cheers!

[HK_sends]

Maybe the module cards (except Amp 9) can be removed from the DX220 type casings and put into a DX300 style module case. Just a thought...

Cheers!

So today we get to know the complete specs and their price, to see if I update my Dx160

 

[davidmolliere]
