Here’s another feedback today from iBasso DX200 customer in Thailand. He shared his public feedback in forums and also share me his private feedback to some people as below.
I modified both device and Amp module (which has soft mute circuit bypassed for better sound than not to)
I can say that this one can go up all the way in the same level as SP1000cu/ss only that the house sound is not the same character.
SP1000 both version sound more edgy and meatier than my mod DX200 which makes vocal sound more like a real person in some recording but it make some song sound weird and SP1000 both version is better in layering in depth axis but not much better. Other than that, DX200 with Fidelizer Ultimate Mod is equal to both SP1000 and beat them in some category.
Modded DX200 has wider soundstage, more reference sound and also more musical than before modding. You’ll feel how the recordings were recorded for real! Something that was hidden when I use original DX200 was showed in great layering even the sound character will not render the sound layering more obvious like SP1000 do but you will be surprised by how it can be improved. Whispering sound in background of recording becoming more obvious to recognize without volume up. The echo of the vocal and instrument is more real.
I intended to do only Amp1 modification but when I hear DX200 with Fidelizer ultimate mod, I changed my mind. After I heard what the one that he by-passed the soft mute circuit, it sounded even better that I sent back my unit to do it too.
If you are good to go and have some effort to wait for it, I suggest you to send your unit for ultimate modification. But you can try only Amp module modification first to make sure that his stuff is real deal.
If you need a suggestion, try his paid firmware modification first. It’s cheaper way to hear the difference and you can always get the update when newer version fw is out.
For more information and the price, contact him directly. Hope this helps. 🙂
I’m also working on new optimizations in Fidelizer ROMs based on feedback from DX200 Ultimate Mod users too. 🙂
