Questions will be asked all along the way.ġ. I will organize this thread and post into several topics, which I will spread over several posts. I guess everybody agrees that the Linux audio stack is very convoluted and maybe even messy., thus hard to comprehend. Be aware that I am going much further than the initial plug-and-play which nowadays works on any operating system, Linux included. Thus, please bear with me and try to give as much feedback as you might have. But I am also aware of the varying quality, applicability, correctness and up-to-date status of contributions literally anywhere, to say the least. To begin with, I am fully aware that there are many forums, blogs etc for computer audiophiles covering all operating systems, and that operating system forums such as this one might not be the obvious first choice to look for help. In opening this thread, I am seeking help from the community here. The review continues on Page Two, after the click HERE or by using the jump below.I am working my way towards turning my computer into a "near-audiophile", "close-to bit-perfect" source for playing audio and video.
But, the brand usually offers a good price/performance ratio.Īnd we’ll find out about that in today’s review, so let’s get into it. If cheaper than the DX300, the iBasso DX240 remains a bit costly at $/€999. That said, this player enjoys the same Sabre ES9038PRO DAC in a much smaller case, the same one as the DX160 in fact. It’s basically an updated version of the mighty DX220, which was already a modern DX200.
The iBasso DX 240 is the brand’s latest player. IBasso DX300 review available here iBasso DX240 It’s insanely fast, magic to use, and fantastic to listen to, even with big cans like my old Sennheiser HD800S.“ The brand did the same as they do for the DX160 and polished every aspect of his player, from top to bottom. “Let’s make it short: the iBasso DX300 is my new go-to for any high-end player.

In fact, the Quad Cirrus-Logic CS43198 DAC combined with a modern flush design and the usual replaceable AMP card system was so impressive, that I gave my full recommendation.

It introduces a whole new generation of portable players with improved performances, a bigger screen, and a dual battery for a cleaner sound. The iBasso DX300 is the brand’s flagship player. Too bad as I think that’s the only real issue with this player.” The only drawback being, once again, the noise level when wifi/Bluetooth is enabled. “At 399$, the DX160 is definitely a no-brainer, packing excellent sound performances, great versatility in a, surprisingly, neat case. I also reviewed that player and here is a quote of the full review : Sadly, the stock is becoming scarce for this one too and almost every retailer is now out of stock.

It carries a dual Cirrus-Logic CS43198 chip with TXCO+PLL “Full Synchronization Technology”, a faster CPU paired with a beautiful 1080p screen, all packed in a new colorful case…
The iBasso DX160 is, in my opinion, the best bang-for-a-buck player in the brand’s catalog and one of my top choices for a mid-range player. Sound-wise, it has all the iBasso pros – excellent dynamic, precise sound, balanced output – and cons – noisy output, not so sexy OS – so there is no real surprise” It’s simply better in any possible way: better screen with updated OS, a great balanced output capable of driving big cans and “cerise-sur-le-gateau” a nice/neat blue/brown aluminum case. “If you own an iBasso DX80, do yourself a favor and listen the new DX120.
I reviewed it almost three years ago now, and here is an excerpt of the full review : It’s a nice player, but the stock is scarce, and you’ll have a hard time getting one now. It carries two micro-SD slots (yeah), Mango OS and thanks to “Fulls Synchronization Technology” gives you bit-perfect rendering, whatever the file or source. It’s a sort of revamped DX80, but more powerful, snappier, and much better-sounding. The iBasso DX120 is a traditional DAP, equipped with a single AKM AK4495 chip. The iBasso DAP SeriesĪs usual, we’ll begin with a quick presentation of iBasso’s DAP catalog. One that’s supposed to replace the old, but almighty DX220 (even if I thought the DX300 was the one), combining the DX160 form-factor and the DX220 audio prowess. They’ve also released great IEMs like the iBasso IT04, and an excellent set of USB-key-sized DAC with the DC01 and DC02, now followed by the DC05.īut, today, we are reviewing a premium player: the DX240. And if the DX300 stole the show, as one of the best DAP of the moment, the brand also has the DX160, a cheaper introduction to the audiophile world.
