iBasso DX-80 arrived (a day early

Been so busy at work the last few days that I haven't even had a chance to play with it.

Hoping to have some time to mess with it tomorrow! I will report back soon.

So.. How is it ended up as? I know my M3 will serve me well as a companion player, but well, curious :)

All I'll say is 256 gig iPhone works very well with my Hugo. No need to add a device. There are issues though, rf noise, so I airaplane my phone when listening. I don't use my phone for business. There could be a variety of reasons to dissuade the phone but it works well for me. Realize that the dac amp will by pass the dac of the phone or dap so rendering the potential added cost outside of the interface, dollar worthless. So an alternative would be a costly dap like an ak380 but I have not listened to one versus Hugo.
