    My DAP journey has continued with the iBasso DX240, which sounds wonderful but I’m finding I’m using headphones and IEMs less and less lately so it’s surplus to my needs.

    The 240 has a modular amp system and this one comes with three. First is the stock amp, Amp1Mk3, which is detailed and on the analytical/dry side. The second is Amp8mk2 which has a discrete output and has much more of a Class A/warmer sound that is very involving and euphonic. The third is the newly released Amp8mk2s which uses the same topology as the Amp8mk2 but has upgraded components for a more even tone that splits the difference between the other two amps and is extremely resolving. Both Amp8’s are high powered enough for most full size headphones and also dead silent with IEMs (disclaimer: I have not tested with highly sensitive CFA IEMs specifically but impressions from others say there is minimal to no hiss). The two Amp8’s cost about $230 each.

    The player itself is in excellent condition, and it runs flawlessly with Android 11 and a Snapdragon 665 processor.

    These will make any IEMs and many full size headphones sound exceptional. I honestly wish I had more reason to use it and justify keeping it around.

    Asking $825 $750 $675 shipped to CONUS. Friends and Contributors get preference. Thanks for looking!

    Now the really last price drop, $675 shipped for the DAP and all three amp modules. These Amp8 modules can properly power HD580/600/650. I would really like to get this one moved on. Thanks!
