when ibasso will block after pressing immediately, and not after 2 seconds? Often the screen turns on again after touching!

It is usually only about a second before the screen locks for me. This has been an issue from the very start.

Also make sure you have double tap screen to turn on, turned off in settings because this might also do the same thing if you accidentally hit it (the screen) two times.

Yes you can. I would highly suggest the iBasso adapter you were describing. You can get them elswhere also, but some have been proven to not be wired correctly for the purpose, and can lead to damage to your system...

Thanks for the response. I am curious since we are converting balanced into single ended, I assume the line out voltage of 4.4 V cuts by half to 2.2 V. Is my understanding correct, or are we seeing 4.4 V through single ended out as well ?

You are welcome.

Being set up as balanced to single ended alone does nothing to/for the voltage output. The only difference in configurations from balanced to single ended is the wiring itself (the grounds on left and right are separate in balanced and terminated together in single ended). So in essence, in order to properly wire this adapter (without potentially dangerous consequences), it simply needs to NOT connect the two grounds on the SE side like it would be in a standard SE interconnect. This also means that the rated 4.1VRMS of the LO on the 12 card is what you will get.

This output jack differs from the stock 11.2 only insofar as the dedicated LO of the Amp12 card bypasses the amplifier circuit (true lineout), whereas the the LO (which is also a PO) of the 11.2 card still goes through the amplifier circuit. It WILL; however, cut the output voltage in order to not cause issues with whatever external amplifier you might hook it to on the 11.2 card. The downside of using the 11.2 LO is that you will incur any potential caveats that you might get from "double amping". This also means that the LO of the Amp12 card will have a more pure and cleaner signal overall when paired with an external amplifier.

Having said all of that, you may or may not hear a difference from the output of the 11.2 card (non true LO), and the 12 card (true LO). I certainly think it sounds cleaner coming from the 12 card output than it does from the 11.2 card, but I use the coax output most times for my external signal needs.

Thank you once again for this brief explanation ! I learned quite a bit.

You will have to let us know your thoughts on the sound once you get the interconnect in place?!

P.S. BTW! Another fellow Hoosier here....

It works great. Not only with Ibasso DAP, it works with any DAP (Cayin N6ii A02 - one of my favorites) with 4.4 mm output and I am connected to WA8 by the way.. if we want to talk about SET Class A tube amp.. I highly recommend this interconnect to anyone who have ONLY 3.5 mm line in for amplifiers. Alo CV5 and Woo Audio WA8 are prime examples for this use case. I have C9 as well which will take direct 4.4 mm, so I dont need to have to take this shortcut.

I am happy to know that you are a Hoosier as well, as I find most in the forum are either in Northeast or Southwest..

I've never found iBAsso's implementation of Android to be particularly stable across the DX220 and DX300. I'm once again in the situation of being unable to run the Google Playstore as it just crashes as soon as it starts. It's happened before, and I have to reinstall it from APKPure which itself is a nightmare of ads and deceptive design. It's not only the Playstore that has trouble over time. It's a great player but I just wish Android was more solid.

I'm having Android doubts now, too. I thought I had the uneven A/D battery discharge fixed by flashing to the latest firmware, but it seems I'll have to do a factory reset, after all. I'm reluctant to do a reset precisely because it was so difficult to obtain and install Google Playstore with APKPure. In fact, previously I gave up and somehow got Google Playstore by other means that I don't recall. Ugh. Scary to think there might be a risk of an unstable Google Playstore should I even be able to install it again. That wouldn't be worth it just to resolve the pesky bad battery readings. EDIT: I wonder if, in the end, you got the genuine Google Playstore via APKPure? I recall not being comfortable with any of the presented options.

Many 3rd party apps stress that they only support certain systems. And they lag in support of daps. 3rd part apps aren't the fault of the dap manufacturer but that of the software of the 3rd party app not making it totally compatible.

I'm not convinced. I'm aware of apps saying that they require a certain version of Android but not beyond that. Maybe there are some specialist apps that specify which bits of Android they need, but manufacturers have some degree of leeway in how they implement Android on their devices. If someone is advertising an Android device I'd expect them to be clear about any limitation their specific implementation would impose.

As I'm mentioned before it seems clear to me that iBasso have implemented support only for the mp3 tags required by Mango but not others, thus rendering some apps that depend on those tags unusable. iBasso denied there was a problem with the tags for years when I drew it to their attention.

I'm also getting another problem that has been around for a long time - I've never raised it before as I just ignore it. As per the attached screenshot if you look under the 'audio' listing you'll see a couple of anomalies. These flicker and come and go, and can appear in any app. I've no idea what's going on with that.

I've had to do another factory reset as I was getting repeated messages along the lines of 'media storage keeps stopping'. That's a system thing. I don't know how an app cause that. One of the suggested solutions online is to clear the cache and data in the media store app, but that's not possible the way the DX300 is set up - I don't know if it's possible now on other devices though.

Re the question from @JoelWilcox I do think that the version of the Playstore I'm getting from APKPure is legit. You just have to work your way through the obfuscations of APKPure to be sure you're downloading the right app in the first place.

Thought I would share my experience. I did not notice this until today because the leather cover covered it up. Oh well… Guess the battery swelled. Will take it back to the dealer for replacement of the battery.

Thanks for reminding us to go check every now and then for swollen batteries, also do let us know how much the battery replacement is pretty pls.

Yeah… I surprised. But I guess these things do happen. Will do. It’s a pity cos it still serves me well.
