I noticed you have the ThieAudio Monarch in your signature.. Did you try that with the DX300? If so what is your impression of the sound signature?

Very meaty/weighted sound (in a good way), excellent bass (and sub-bass) responses with this rumble that I find so satisfying (slightly better than the BA driver bass on U12T in my opinion), resolution is also top-notch (very close to the performance on my U12T, but U12T is a hair more refined when I listen closely to orchestral tracks; it has better detail retrievals). Both imaging and instrumental separation are excellent. Signature I must say could be perceived as a tad bright for some people; sound neutral to my ears. I must say for a $700 IEM, the Monarch is a keeper and irreplaceable in my collection. Make sure you can demo a pair to check the fit since the shell, while beautiful, is relatively big for smaller ears. I happen to have big ears anyway so not too much of a trouble after some tips rolling.

Got mine today in Blue. Damn wow the paring with my Odin is next level. So much more musical as a combo compared to my Kann Alpha.
Such a great versatile beast. Can definitely enjoy YouTube on this as well.
Very different in sound with the Alpha (which I prefer my tia fourte with) to the point that I may keep both and just sell the ZX507.

It's the android stack and subsequent resampling that I was referring to. Would be great to see Roon output according to the source bitrate without resampling.

Also the hardware buttons do double actions on Roon. Like when u press pause it pauses and starts playing again. Next and previous track skips 2 tracks which is annoying.

How does

For any Andromeda users, at least the 2020 version pairs really well with the DX300. I prefer the pairing of DX300 + Andromeda 2020 over Shanling M8 + Andromeda 2020

How does it pair with the legend x. I currently have a Pair of customs

I don't have the Legend X currently on me as it is getting refit even though I have a lot of playtime on it in-between refits. I also did send back the DX300 unfortunately since I am anticipating that I would prefer the M8 + Legend X combo over the DX300 + Legend X. I can only comment on the M8 + Legend X when that comes in.

Based on how the DX300 sounded though, I do think it would be a solid pairing with the Legend X.

Ok thank you for the response.

I agree. Alpha and Dx300 are so different sounding I’m also thinking to keep both daps. Still, if I was forced to choose my desert island dap would be the dx300

Try Neutron. Its brilliant.

Emailed UAPP, Ibasso just sent them a DX300,give them a little time.

Yessss! Can't wait for UAPP support. Sound quality will be even better then!

For PCM, it is great. If it can do native DSD now as well!!!

Atm, I use Neutron when I am in androidOS

I don't know if it's the cable properties (doubt it) or the combined impedances magically locking into place but holy **** did this Dita Oslo add a layer of magic to my dx300 + qdc Gemini combo.

@alexlevn0791, Thank you for the detailed response. That helps tremendously. I am still undecided between the ThieAudio Monarch and Audeze Euclid/ LCD-i3. I've been wanting another IEM that offers a different presentation than my Angie's and IER-M7's.

I'd say go for Monarch if fit is not an issue since it's an all-rounder in performance. I don't know about Audeze, but it will in my opinion be a significant upgrade to the M7. I never tried the Angie so I don't know about that one either.

 

[Infoseeker]

Monarch and Dunu Luna would be upgrades to the M7.

But if you a different presentation I would eq the lcd i3. Or without EQ, I would suggest a lesser more natural treble in the Shuoer EJ07 (and has different mids/bass shelf).

I should be getting my player by the 18th. Been having fun reading you guys thread. Not a big burn in guy but I will try to burn it in for about 50 hrs before passing a judgment. By far the most expensive player that I have bought so far.

I'm on the fence about burn in. I'm sure they had to QC the device before shipping. But the longer I play music on the DX300... The better it sounds.. Enjoy your new DX300. I think you will appreciate its qualities.
