Wow looking forward to the review, I have the fiio M 17 and I love to see different DAPS, you are a phenomenal Andy bringing these things to the channel.
I have the FiiO M17 and KANN ULTRA so the iBasso DX340 is on my shopping list. I will compare the three when I have. It's not easy to say which is better the FiiO M17 or KANN ULTRA?
Was in the market for an “endgame dap” after having the dx180 and n3ultra for about a couple months now. Very glad I was patient instead of getting an AK dap
Beautiful ❗️ 🔆 Thank you Andy Happy New Year ❗️ 🔆 ♥️ 💯 btw I asked you some time ago what should I drive my Helios with. I found a solution. As a Dac Iam using Q15 and as an amplifier Astell&Kern PA10 A class. 😆😆 I am honestly quite shocked by it's performance ❗️Big musical detailed. Right now playing with Symphonium Meteor. It's great!! Take care ✌️🙋♂️
When you get to fully review this, could you compare the sound to a phone + dc elite please? I assume the DAP will be better but, how much? Because for me, remembering to charge and carrying such a brick around would be a big nuisance, only worth it if the sound is very considerably better. For IEMS it's overkill, right?
I can tell you now it is no longer the case of "considerably better". I have had the opportunity to use all sorts of audio gear anything from the most affordable to the most mind-blowing priced system and usually the differences are marginal because we are looking at the rule of diminishing returns. For example some people may even pay $5000 just to squeeze another 5% of possible gain out of their already great system. But yes I get your point, I will try to cover on your queries. EDIT: Not necessarily overkill for IEMs as many IEMs nowadays are highly scalable as the source improves. Like Magnetic Planars which tend to sound astoundingly amazing with the right pairing, as exhibited by my SIVGA Nightingale + xDuoo DX05T which practically endgame for me personally
I have the same question here Andy. Right now I am using my phone + DC Elite as the source. I am considering to get a DAP for an upgrade of my source. If the sound quailty won't have that much different, then I will just keep using my setup (phone + dc-elite). I hope you can explain about this in your next upload. Thank you so much Andy 🙏
@@AndyAudioVault yes, that may be so , but still leaves a bit of a sour taste for a Flagship, but I guess you gotta cut cost somewhere. Looking forward to the review.
I always look to see if there's a comparison to Mojo2. Because I own one. It is popular, though. I don't believe Andy has one, though. I believe it is generally thought DAP for IEMs and seperate amps for headphones. Is that true?
I have both Mojo and Mojo2, but they are not my preferred DAC. They are impressive and sets the standards for quite a while. DAPs are not limited to IEMs, current crop of DAPs especially for those released within the last 4 years has been designed to be total solution of desktop DAC/Amp substitute and they are exceedingly versatile for anything you can think of
im planing to Buy a DAP to play with my Xdsd gryphon instead of Phone....Please suggest me a Good Dap under 1000$ shud have good sound and shud connect with gryphon dac...i use Hiby music player which gives a subscrition for MQA it says Hiby Daps like R4,R6 gen 3 or any Hiby daps that improve MQA upto x16 explain it and advice me plz Thank you
@AndyAudioVault absolutely. You can't be satisfied with such a slow brick in 2025 no matter how good it sounds and considering how much money they're asking for it.
Awesome. You got the R6 pro Max the other day and now the dx340. Looking forward for the comparision of these 2 most anticipated DAPs.
And also Cayin N6iii arriving soon too 😁
Nice Chunky Brick. Need a full review on this.
No worries. There will be full review

Happy Christmas and New year Andy top videos thanks.
Thanks Paul. Happy Holidays and New Year to you and family too! 🎉🎄
Happy new year Andy!
Happy new year!

Wishing you and your family an excellent, blessed 2025.
I've paired my DX180 with KAEI Tap1, and it's magical. Looking forward to their differences.
Happy New Year to you and your family too! 🎉
Ordered a DX180 yesterday, guess my future upgrade path is pretty clear
I don't think anyone can notice a difference in the sound with a 500 hiby DAP in a blind test 😁
happy new year ❤
Happy New Year to you too! 🎉

Hi Mr Andy, i just want to ask if you have the new VE dongle? I think its called VE Devastator.
I have ordered one 😁
@AndyAudioVault mantap bosskur 👍
idk if you've already reviewed them but could you touch on how many hours of playback you get with them
Yes of course. In all of my DAP, DAC and dongle reviews I will always mention the usage runtime
Will we gonna have the best products of 2024 as previous years Andy?!
Yes, working on it now
I am surprised at the end of 2024 Ibasso released the DX340 flagship with Snapdragon 665 SOC
665 is also used in HIBY R6Pro Max and Cayin N6iii. Shanling M8T which is a direct competition to DX340 uses an even older SOC
@@AndyAudioVault yes, that may be so , but still leaves a bit of a sour taste for a Flagship, but I guess you gotta cut cost somewhere. Looking forward to the review.
@@AndyAudioVault I thought the shanling was also 665
yes but OLED screen.... !!!! that is a must
can you measure the usb audio latency?
If I have the tool, I could
Wow what an expensive dap, must be fantastic

Hello Andy, antara DC 07 pro atau DC 06 pro soundstage mana lagi baik? New subcribe here. 🔥
DC07Pro. Tq for support!
Oh wow you got so many screen protectors.
I think it is normal for all DX340, you get lots of SP
You are fast bro. Review pls ❤
Soon!
i know the price gonna be hefty on this one....
1700 euros
im planing to Buy a DAP to play with my Xdsd gryphon instead of Phone....Please suggest me a Good Dap under 1000$ shud have good sound and shud connect with gryphon dac...i use Hiby music player which gives a subscrition for MQA it says Hiby Daps like R4,R6 gen 3 or any Hiby daps that improve MQA upto x16 explain it and advice me plz Thank you
You would do well to get HIBY R4 if your plan is to pair it with Gryphon
@@AndyAudioVault Any big difference between Hiby R4 and R6 gen 3??? wats ur thought on MQA subscribtion in Hiby music app...Thank you
I got the dx320 for 400.00😂 it fell off the back of a truck
this must be the parody on a DAP in 2025 and i don't even care how it sounds
parody?
@AndyAudioVault absolutely. You can't be satisfied with such a slow brick in 2025 no matter how good it sounds and considering how much money they're asking for it.
@@uglyfate1326 Do pray tell, what kind of muscle does it need to have to play some tracks?
@@uglyfate1326the user interface is snappy enough where it’s not an issue, plus it sounds really good. Def not for everyone as it’s quite expensive.
first!
