Actually, in the world of DAPs, IMO, the DX220 with the AMP8, or the AMP9 is a TOTL player, not mid-fi.I seriously have challenges understanding some of the concerns brought up with the incompatibility of the previous gen amps with the DX300. Please do not make it sound like Ibasso dropped the ball and made the previous gen amps incompatible even with the previous gen players. Those amps still work great with the DX220 and DX200. You have a choice not to upgrade to the DX300. Just continue to use the players the previous amps are designed to work with. The Dx220 with Amp8, Amp9 and Amp8EX are still at the top of the mid-fi game and I still listen to them even I have now bought newer releases. I am no Ibasso fan boy but the issues brought up here are just beyond me when it gets repetitive.
If you like sports cars and want to get pissed off, I bought a Supra, after Toyota had none on the market for 20 years, a 2020. Then for the 2021, they improved the suspension and increased the horsepower. I am not really upset but many owners of the 2020 are because Toyota knew they were going to do this and could have done it for the 2020. So people went out and dropped 60 to 65 thousand just to have their car, less than a year later, superseded with the same model that has more HP and better suspension. Now that might be something to get upset about. :^)
