DX320MAX Ti, iBasso’s 3rd MAX in the Series, is an Android 11 DAP Goliath with a Super Class A 8.4V Amp
- Limited to 888 units worldwide, individually numbered units
- Features iBasso’s in-house developed stepped attenuator for delicate IEM listening at realistically lower volume
- Class A amplification with 8.4 Volts
- 5.0″ IPS screen (1080×1920), with On-Cell capacitive touch panel
- Quad (x4) BD34301EKV ROHM DAC Chips
- The highest level of build and component quality
Bloom’s Take With the DX320Max Ti, iBasso provides another opportunity to get your hands on a powerful, cutting-edge, limited edition DAP that features next-level build quality along with a glimpse into the next generation of technology and design. The 320MAX is a girthy, premium-feeling metal box with a vintage aesthetic and perhaps the most visually appealing knobs and controls you’ve ever seen on a DAP. This thing screams expensive and quality, no question. While it’s technically “portable,” this isn’t going to be a DAP you’ll slide into your pocket and start jogging with – this is more of a portable desktop player that you could fit into a sweatshirt pocket. With that extra size comes excellent dual-battery design and power mgmt. And it features a unique 24-step attenuator for volume control that provides a higher level of purity in the signal. Soundwise, the DX320MAX runs shoulder-to-shoulder with the big boys of flagship portable audio with some disadvantages from an ergonomics perspective, but landing in the winner’s circle for sound and performance. If you’ve heard the folklore of iBasso’s powerful limited edition players and always wanted to experience one for yourself, now’s your chance… but if you are the 889th person to want one, you’ll be too late. |
iBasso’s Latest Behemoth
The digital and analog sections of the DX320MAX are powered separately, with each having an independent charging system. The digital and analog hardware and signal communications, adopt optocouplers and I2C isolators to completely isolate the digital to analog sections from any interference.
The AMP section is powered by a true +/- 8.4V battery pack. No voltage boost is used, which ensures the highest purity and current output. An optimized super class A discrete amp circuit, which eliminates the switching distortion of transistors, while providing the sound signature of a class A amplifier, that also significantly reduces heat generation, is used.
A custom analog 4-wiper stepped attenuator that has less than +/-0.1dB channel tolerance imbalance, has been selected. 4 settings for the physical gain control. 5.0″ IPS screen (1080×1920), with On Cell capacitive touch panel. Quad BD34301EKV ROHM DAC Chips are incorporated.
