Whew, maybe that'll help me resist for a while.

You sure you don't want to order now so you get it ASAP?

I'm using the DX300 in line out mode at "low" - it likely has three voltage levels ("medium" and "high" increase the volume).

Not sure if it's a real line out - @Whitigir may have looked into it...

Where did you see the setting for low/mid/high for LO? You have PO/LO which switches all PO to LO. Then, you have Gain low/mid/high in audio setting, but that is applicable to headphone output gain. BAL LO should have a fixed 7.1Vrms per iBasso spec. Unless I missed something?

The gain lo/mid/high when I'm in LO mode changes the volume through the C9. (No settings changed on C9).

The ibasso spec says "maximum"...

This thing is a piece of work! I'm gonna return it. Ibasso didn't tell us that we need a fast charger. Seriously! It takes for ever to charge and for ever to turn on!

Is this dude for real??

Any official statement on the poorly fitting cases as of yet? (I should also mention the tempered glass screen protector, which also wasn't the right size)

Not official but yeah the case is loose I just don't use it

DX220's case blocked the volume dial and it was never adressed or resolved.

C9 is in low supply almost everywhere right now. Cayin was not able to produce a lot of them before CNY. The supply will come back in mid/late March, and perhaps then you can see some

I am surprised that you find the R8 V shaped. Are you using the turbo mode on R8? It pushes the mids a bit more forward, adds dynamic and subbass. And are you testing with IEMs or HPs?

I don't use IEMs and only full sized HPs so I might have a different experience, but find the bass performance of DX300, from subbass to the mids excellent. I cannot compare the R8 as I don't have it anymore. With this piece with D9200 what I get as bass punch and speed, it is excellent. Also the transparency is top notch (better listen from Qobuz or Tidal).



Try also this:



For sure MAX would be better but DX300 is definitely very satisfactory as a portable solution.

Not saying massive V shape and mids are quite good but treble and bass are a touch more forward. and yes, turbo is definitely helping. Obviously this is all affected by LX. As its not exactly reference iem lol, it does have an impact. And what im describing is extremely affected by synergy. And as you are HP listener it might have a significant difference in how we hear it.

But anyways. DX300 is unexpectedly a very pleasant synergy. And i was really thinking that it will be a simple decision which dap to keep. No chance. I am so confused. And it just gets worse as R8 is just getting better each day. Spent 18 hrs listening to R8 in 2 last days lol. Obviously not very critical listening as i was working but. Some things will always catch my attention when going throught known tracks.
Will give it some a\b tonight and then tomorrow i will spend all day with dx300. See how switching back to R8 will feel.

Oh what a joy! lol

Would you like a FW update addressing it?

I am in a same shoes mate. Waiting till @Whitigir is going to come up with mod that reduces dap size by 30mm.

MusicTeck has it. I bought from them. Arrives Monday.

Using this Tronsmart quickcharger:
https://www.tronsmart.com/products/w2ptu-quick-charge-30-usb-c-wall-charger

Is there a difference between using the usb-c to usb-A cable to charge, compared to using a usb-c to usb-c cable to use in the usb-c input on the charger? Will there be a difference in charging speed or anything?

Why is that Hugo looking so lonely ? Time to kick the curb ? Lmao

I have one quick mod for you, can’t guarantee your safety or if it will still be operational

I don’t think it will be a simple decision for you. Both R8 and DX300 are top quality. It may just come down to what flavour you prefer.
