The early years of playing HiFi is a very niche interest, but this kind of pit will jump into it and it will be difficult to extricate, and it is a willingness to rush, especially in recent years with the rise of professional portable music players. In view of its excellent portability and good overall sense of hearing, the threshold for key cost input has been reduced a lot. Therefore, senior players who have made the transition from burning boxes and burning Taiwanese machines, as well as those who are still waiting at the door to pay attention There are still plenty of people out there, but nowadays, if you are an audiophile or even a fancier, you don’t seem to have enough players to be convinced.

More interesting is the major audio manufacturers seems to have realized this price 2000 Hong steamed bun, and even this year, the price of each are dishing out big kill, which have more personality, comes as veteran audio manufacturers iBasso 's new DX80 , as an equivalent DX90 upgrade version, this name is somewhat guilty, but familiar with the brand's fans is to know the DX100 as the touch screen national flagship originator has been released for several years, this time It is impossible to awkwardly " upgrade " the DX95 for the upgrade, so after seeing such an upgrade, the obsessive-compulsive students still need time to adapt, but no matter what, the DX80 is indeed from the exterior design to system control, and There are still many laps left for the author to share with you.
The iBasso DX80 's packaging is as calm and introverted as ever, simple but elegant, especially this trapezoidal design similar to the mini-showcase is rare and special, but the first visual impression of the product after uncovering the lid is very intuitive. According to several models with the same price player, the packaging features are still more distinctive.
The accessories that come out of the package are quite abundant as you can see. There are screensaver stickers, charging data cables, coaxial cables, twister cables, and silicone sleeves. This is very special is the bonus of that machine, for the simulation of access to the headset is also very special idea , just a casual plug, no headphone cable, to achieve a multiplier effect, new Pit's fans are worth a try to pick it up for 200 hours.

Looking at the back, the delicate matte texture on the back feels a lot smoother, the content is etched by the top position of the product model, the bottom laser laser carving has brand certification information.

The bottom of the fuselage is a 3.5mm headphone output and LINEOUT linear output; on the top left is the fiber / coaxial port for S/PDIF digital signal output, and the memory card slot with a dust cover in the middle supports dual TF cards. Design, dual-card maximum support 256GB of storage capacity, which is undoubtedly the biggest advantage for players supporting DSD format files. The right-most Micro USB socket, in addition to charging function, connects the computer with a data cable, which allows the DX80 to become an external DAC for the computer, eliminating the need for a sound card.

As the core hardware, I believe that everyone will pay attention to it. In the previous iBassoDX90 , the architecture of the dual ES9018-K2M decoding chip was used in parallel. Although the architecture of the DX80 is the same, the decoder chip is replaced with audio loop verification. The classic chip Cirrus CS4398 is also double-connected in parallel. In addition, the DX80 uses a 6- layer gold-immersed PCB , NICHICON audio-firing capacitor, and dual- SI time-controlled crystal oscillator. The decoding aspect of DX80 supports hard solutions of 192kHz/24bit and DSD64/128 as well as common audio files such as WAV , APE and FLAC . Of course, it should be noted that the DAC chip is not changed, the style will be completely different, the specific tuning direction will be affected by the design of the overall circuit and power amplifier IC and other components, so the only chip theory is worth considering.

Specific performance in the midrange, it should be said that the iBassoDX80 's IF performance is remarkable, first, the amount of information in the intermediate frequency is relatively rich, listen to vocal relatively more forward, but the emotional rendering a bit shallow taste cut-off, not too sweet tuning should be more To listen to the sound, listening to some pure voice vocal songs, thanks to the DX80 impressive resolution can hear more details. The DX80 's low-frequency performance in the author's view, the sense of the amount of atmosphere created is appropriate, law-abiding, to highlight the level does not blindly create a sense of bomber, and at the same time the performance of the transient will not appear to be delayed, of course, with different headphones No heavy chaos.
At the same high frequency, the DX80 also does not highlight the sharpness of sharp burrs, and the flexible interpretation of extensions and details provides a youthful, sunny, comfortable sense of hearing. The characteristics are also destined to its low-profile strength for high-frequency performance. In addition, as a portable device, the thrust of the DX80 should still be adapted to mainstream mainstream high-sensitivity low-impedance headphones, if the fever players want to push HD600 , high-resistance version of the DT880 and other classic big ears is still recommended with two rooms.
In general, iBasso DX80 is a mid-range portable player in the 2000 -grade range. It is a comprehensive and comprehensive product. Its appearance and workmanship are solid and detailed. The details are not refined, but they are also considered as big factories in the country. The work. The touch operation and system UI are close to that of a smart phone that is normally used, so even if you do not use instructions, you can get started quickly and the daily control is smooth. For the performance of hearing, the DX80 is a relatively omnivorous balanced, soft and warm tuning style. Its tri-band is not significantly short-circuited. It is completely OK to satisfy most people's listening preferences. This is also the author's guess on the iBasso DX80. What should be taken is the style idea of ​​positioning in a stable and winning style. Eventually, DX80 will be a new product for iBasso 's sincerity after DX90 , and it is worth sharing suggestions.
