I guess I'll wait then

out of curiosity, what are you waiting for ?

I totally agree but, the AMP12 needs more burn in than the AMP11 or MKII. I am closing in on 200 hours and it has warmed up and become much more natural sounding with the Utopia loosing the metallic edge it had and can have with some amps. Burn in with the 12 is extremely important. I liked it a lot then at around 150 hours, not much at all but now, it has gotten more 3D again, smoothed out, very, very dynamic, excellent bass and more musical. Burn in is a necessity with the 12, IMO.

LOL!!!

anyways, the Amp12 is a crazily capable module!!! I love it !! And that LO performances!!! I can’t have enough of it

I had a comment but edited it after reading the post saying it may get better with a warm-up/burn-in. There is a treble glare at 6khz area or such. (Or it simply doesn't smoothen treble out and this is not glare)

But for now the amp12 replaces and is better than my Dx220MAX as long as I don't need a pre-amp. That imaging and depth is amazing; it approaches my Chord Hugo 2 in level.

Absolutely amazing in imagings and depth. Except the spikes as you said at 6Khz, it will be smoothed out and denser as burning in goes. However, the little recessed right before that at upper mid won’t go away. It gives the feelings of some “voids” in the presentations. This is where the MkII shine better at this exact section. But the MKII will compromise dynamic, imagings and depth.

Therefore, I vote the 12 for that exact depth, imagings, dynamic as the best of all modules (hence I said it is very capable). Then the MKII is the most natural and neutral module for sure.

what does it say ? The MKII comes stock at the moment and the Amp12 is an excellent first module release !!!! The dx300 is totally worth a flagship line up. Thanks Ibasso!!!

Good News for Germany/Europe DX300 owners.

Ordered… I will have it well before the DX300 itself arrives …

NT Global doesn't ship to the United Kingdom?

My DX300 and AMP12 are scheduled for delivery Monday June 14th--DHL tracking says "Customs Status Updated" so it is in Cincinnati now--maybe it will arrive early. I plan on listening with my Focal Celestee headphones, but I am thinking IEM for work and travel--Is there an IEM that sounds equal to the Celestee (I know--this could be an entire thread unto itself in the IEM section)?

Hi, question for everyone, currently have the A&K SE100, and considering the DX300 or the SE180 as an upgrade, wanted your perspectives on the differences, and to understand whether the DX300 is pocketable, as it would be a primary portable source. Have always had streaming challenges with the SE100 from a WiFi perspective, interested in whether the 5G upgrade on the DX300 would address and what the interface is like?

I listened briefly to both. SE180 SEM1 has smaller instruments but located on more 3D space in front of you - like a landscape. DX300 with Amp11 has bigger instruments but plays more in your head (sometimes even behind your head). SE180 has blacker background and is more dynamic. DX300 has better timbre than SE180 with SEM1. SE180 SEM2 has timbre similar or even better than DX300. WiFi on DX300 is very good. Didn't test WiFi with SE180 so far but I had issues with A&K SA700 at home (I use Deco Mesh which is normally very good).

Odd, one thing I don't get is much sound in my head with the 11 and with AMP12, the soundstage is huge, 3d and out in front. With 11, with the IT07, nicely placed in front and to the sides. Same goes with the Utopia and the SR2.

I know that feeling, Looking forward for your impression then..
