is anybody routinely using a truly portable amp with the dx90?   i have an ifi idsd micro, which sounds great from the dx90's line out [i prefer the dx90 dac stage to the ifi's], but the micro is hardly something you'd want to carry around.  so is there a smaller, truly portable amp that anyone is using regularly and getting better quality sound?

the vorzuge pure ii for increased separation, clarity, soundstage, blacker background. noiseless with sensitive earphones as well, with 3 gain stages.

Is it still the case that the iBasso DX90 cannot be used as a USB DAC on 64-bit Linux? I really want to get these, but this will be a deal breaker for me.

Yes only on Windows

Hey guys. New to the world of DAPs. I currently use a rock boxed iPod classic with a 240gb drive and vsonic vsd1s IEMs.

Looking at a DX90. Looking at a couple recommendations for better IEMs to take advantage of the DX90 as I'm assuming the vsonics won't be ideal (though I will make do with them for a while).

Also are there any cases for the DX90 that store a spare microsd card? I travel a lot and prefer to carry most of my music with me.

Thanks guys

I'll recommend Fidue A83.

recommend a dimecard to store spare microsd cards.  a light color is preferable to allow easy visibility of filled slots.

Yes dimecard works great for the cards. I travel a lot and this is my nice compact rig
