CS43198 × Octa DAC Chip Matrix

The CS43198 DAC in the DX260MK2 features excellent dynamic range, outstanding resolution of micro details, and an impressively low noise floor, adding up to exceptional performance.

The Octa DAC Chip Matrix with iBasso's implementation guarantees both superb sound quality and DAP leading measurements. The DX260MK2 achieves a THD+N of -123dB, the best among portable players as of 2023. This groundbreaking achievement sets a new standard in the industry.

DX240MK2 takes advantage of the multi-DAC architecture to achieve extraordinary results.

FIR Filter - DAC Matrix Magician

Thanks to the new algorithm of FPGA-MASTER2.0, the potential of the CS43198 can be further realised.

Synchronous parallel output mode: this reduces "discrete distortion" between DACs to improve overall performance.

FIR 2x mode, FIR 4x mode: With FPGA-MASTER 2.0, picosecond-level precise control and adjustment of the DAC clock and data is achieved, making each DAC data stream independently adjustable. Through the "delay parallel" of 4 DACs, the DACs form a hardware analog FIR filter, which averages the differences between multiple DACs, reducing distortion and effectively improving sound details and realism.

Android13 + Mango OS with Snapdragon 665 Performance

The DX260MK2 comes with the latest Android 13 system running on an updated Snapdragon 665 SoC, allowing you to easily install streaming apps for a seamless Android experience. The DX260MK2 efficiently bypasses the SRC at the system level. Whether it's Mango Player or a third-party streaming APP, you can take advantage of the system-level "Non-SRC" feature giving you the highest quality sound from the recording.

The DX260MK2 features the alternative Mango OS, a Linux-based audio system that has been meticulously designed for exceptional audio playback. It has accumulated a lot of optimization to the underlying driver algorithms, which focuses on audio playback. This pure sound system has no WiFi or Bluetooth interference with lower EMI, resulting in a purer listening experience.

New Industrial Design + User Removeable Back Cover

The DX260MK2 features iBasso's latest industrial design, with volume control guards and a more industrial look.

The back cover is easily removable with total battery access making replacement of  the battery very convenient.
