It’s been almost 3 years since the last update for iBasso DX220Max unit. I figured I can apply new updates from iBasso DX160 which has some components ported from modern iBasso DAPs. Will port this update to other iBasso DAPs soon so enjoy. 🙂

And here’s another feedback today. He shared his feedback after upgrading from Plus to Pro version to use with Ableton Live software as below.
From Plus to PRO, I noticed the most improvement everywhere. Imaging turned out to be more 3D, not exactly “holographic” but definitely more 3D, I can pick up each individual instrument with ease, there’s more transparency, everything sounds cleaner and clearer, mid/high resolution has improved as well as the lower frequencies (cleaner/tighter). Inside Ableton Live this made all the difference as it helps me choose sounds easily, have a better sense of what’s going on, due to improved separation and detail, and helps me make better mixing and mastering decisions. I use a high-end audio interface with the greatest DAC’s and clocking and high-end monitors and headphones and even so, there was room for improvement. Every seasoned music producer should use this.
I’m glad to hear that Fidelizer can help with music production in Ableton Live and happy listening. 🙂
