Every opinion expressed is mine and I stand by it. This review reflects my personal experience with the iBasso DX240. I’d like to thank iBasso for providing the sample for this review. It should be noted that I have absolutely no affiliation with iBasso. Having AMP1 MK3, DX240 is expected to sound like DX300, but be within the ecosystem of DX220, so it should have the user-accessible design of DX220, paired with the newer and faster hardware of DX300.
I also still have the DX200, which is still going, but that one doesn’t see as much usage as the new DX220, or the DX300 which is much newer and larger. I revived the old DX220 once by replacing the battery, in a process that took less than 10 minutes, so it’s smooth as butter now, has no hiccups, and you can call me a happy camper. They offer some of the longest support times for their products, they offer excellent service, and most of their products are thought to be user serviceable. iBasso is that one audio company that kept the same profile from the start of their early days, providing what I am willing to call the cleanest record when it comes to an audio company. You know the review is going to be fun when we’re reviewing an iBasso product, so let’s set something straight first. Since we’re talking about such a high-end DAP, we will be doing pairings with Earsonics Corsa (450 USD), HIFIMAN Arya Stealth (1600 USD), Campfire Ara (1300 USD), and Sendy Audio Peacock (1500 USD).

We’re reviewing the new iBasso DX240 today, a portable music player or Digital Audio Player (DAP), priced at 950 USD, and a iBasso is back on top, and wants to make sure that you can use the AMP modules ecosystem from their DX220, so the new one is compatible with all AMP modules released so far, from AMP 1 all the way to AMP 8, so it will be compared in depth, and throughout the entire review with the original DX220, but also to other DAPs like FiiO M11 PRO (650 USD), Lotoo PAW 6000 (1200 USD), Astell & Kern A&Futura SE180 (1500 USD), iBasso DX300 (1200), and Dethonray Prelude DTR1+ (1000 USD).
