I was charged less than £3 for UK delivery by DHL.
WOW, that's awesome and this was direct from iBasso, right? How long did it take to arrive?

II posted some DAPs impression/comparison which I did in the local stores where I lived on the Calyx M thread, so I thought it would be a good to link it here too.
Hi Pottsy2, may I ask wich Grado(s) you use? I expect my DX90 to arrive next week and till now I used my Grado PS500 (+ sometimes GS1000) with DX50/BH2. I love how they match, but got al little worried when I read ''....and with my Grado's everything sounds like needles in my ears.''
Thanks...
Thanks. How much time on your dx90 and at which gain setting?

I really don't hear anything like the way you described the sound of the dx90, I listened to the 240 in axpona and in no way it is worth what they are asking for it. The dx 90 is worth twice it's price at least. If I hear anymore 3 d and separation than what I get out of the 90 it would sound just unnatural . May be your headphones don't separate that well. The dx 90 makes my phonak sound like they cost 2k.
DX90 - In compare, DX90 sound quite different from DX100 despite of it using two mobile version of ES9018, each for left and right. The soundstage is not to say less, but it make you feel that you're in a different environment. Let say a smaller room.
I have the Hugo. I don't find the DX90 has a soundstage that is smaller. Different yes, smaller not really. My Fostex TH900 and JH13 Pros, for me, have confirmed this. I mentally fix the auditory cues right and left and in perception of depth and go back and forth on the same song and then another song and environment. What surprised me was/is how good the JH13's sound with the dX90. There is no doubt, the DX100 also sounds very fine but I enjoy the size of the DX90.

Speaking of soundstage how big really is considered better? I reckon bigger/wider isn't always better, there has got to be limit. Listening to my Roxanne with DX90, the soundstage already feels like anything bigger will sound weird.
Agree with you no more, DX90 only sounds different for me than DX100 and AK120, I doesn't meant that DX90 sounds inferior to the other two, they just different.
In DX90 I feel I'm more in the environment, closer to stage.
another thing that I notice is.. cymbals and crash sounds not too natural for me, but it might be burn-in time too less?
