iBasso - DX220

The iBasso DX220 is an upgraded version of the high-class affordable DX200. It features a full metal CNC back cover, 2.5D Corning glass panel and a sharp 1080p full-screen resolution (combined with 16.7 million colours). The screen is covered by a nano anti-fingerprint coating to avoid any physical marks. The new UI is user-friendly and visually pleasing.

Enjoy a seamless audio experience with the support of the Dual Sabre ES9028PRO. Each ES9028PRO uses 8 DACs parallel to each other for each channel. Like their previous hi-res players, iBasso has continued the tradition of replaceable AMP cards with the standard AMP1 MKII. All other AMP cards that are designed for the DX series are backward & forward compatible.

The iBasso DX220 is the first digital player to support two-way Bluetooth v5.0. It provides native support for LDAC and aptX. The antenna is placed outside the case in a special antenna isolation cavity to prevent any interference with the sound quality. You can stream music for up to 9 hours with the 4400mAh battery. When the battery goes down, quick charge it to 70% in just 1 hour with QC3.0, PD2.0 and MTK PE Plus.

The DX220 uses the open Android v8.1 system. It comes with the latest Mango audio player app inbuilt and you can also install .apk apps like Spotify, Tidal, Saavn, Apple Music and more. It supports MQA music decoding for ultra-high-resolution playback and can double-up as a USB DAC to support up to 32-bit/ 384kHz PCM and DSD 512x.

5 femtosecond oscillators (including 2 Accusilicon ultra-low phase noise ones) are added to the 8-Core CPU and XMOS for an entire femtosecond audio system. Panasonic polymer capacitors and custom inductors are used to lower the internal resistance of the power supply. The RAM has been upgraded to 4G from the DX200's 2G LPDDR3. It features coaxial and optical outputs.

Apart from the 10-band graphical EQ, you also get a professional Parameter EQ which gives you 8 high precision filters in 6 segments where you can individually set each segment of the filter. This segmentation setting gives detailed visual adjustment capabilities and allows you to customise the gain, central frequency and quality. The low gain setting has a low noise floor which is perfect for sensitive IEMs.
