Ibasso DX270....

[Kinglizard]

After hearing all the feedback on DAPS and smartphones + DAPS, I decided to order the Ibasso DX270 for $1300..
It came out the beginning of this year 2026...
It should be here Thursday...
I will be sure to write a full review.
Stay tuned....

coulda just gotten an honor power 2 and paired it with a qudelix 5k if you're really into getting a niche yet overkill "audio player".

snapdragon 665, lcd screen and 4gb of ram at 1300 dollars, talk about a ripoff

When I want something I gotta have it all.,
The Ibasso DX270 is a man's toy...
I don't care for any of those cheapies.
I want pure enjoyment when listening to my music without any inturuption.
Thanks.

you hit the nail right on the head, it is indeed a man's toy. no real benefits apart from those imagined and one which you would be bored of in a short while

if you really arent happy with cheap stuff, you shoulda gotten the dx340, cus the dx270 aint really all that

 

[Kinglizard]

Not that it matters but I pay $1500 every month for rent alone...
Would you rather have a Pinto or would ya rather have a Rolls Royce?

 

[Kinglizard]

I think I might get a Basso dx340 for the house and use my basso dx270 for on the go when it arrives on Thur....
The 340 is bigger but it would be nice to just have a DAP for the house..
Two DAPS are better than one.

I Hear a little bit of jealousy

I'm gonna buy you a pair for Christmas.

Can I buy you anything else?
Perhaps some undies?
Maybe some socks?
A toothbrush?
I'm feeling generous today.

You should've gotten the Astell&Kern SP4000, it'll keep you comfortable while you live on the street for 3 months!

Not the flex you think it is:

The average monthly rent in the U.S. in 2024 was $1,535. And this average includes the shit-hole states. You can bet it's higher now....

 

[Kinglizard]

Haha...It makes sense now...
You people are from the U.K
I was wondering why none of you could afford a $1,500 DAP and would rather use your smartphone for music.
I'm from the USA.

Congrats: you're only the second person to get added to my ignore list. Enjoy your DAP.

Now, I do not pay rent nor mortgage but I nevertheless recently bought a jelly star. Not sure if these things are related.

This device has an audio jack out, runs on Android 13, has 256 GB storage plus a SD card slot.

It is the size of an egg.

It costs 200 Euro and you can also make phone calls with it... It even has a camera, GPS and IR remote blaster...

Ooh that thing is cute! (Although Android 16 has been out for a while now, can you not upgrade it?)
You should give it to Amir to review! (how powerful is the 3.5mm port? usually DAPs let you drive higher impedance headphones).

I think Android 13 may be the end for this device but who knows.

It is cute indeed and I can actually use it to send WhatsApp messages as well despite its tiny keyboard...

1500 is a studio in my neck of the woods.
