Bloom's Take With new features like Bluetooth DAC and all around improvements to the sound, DX170 is a clear evolution of iBasso’s DX100 series in both sound and performance. As an all-in-one portable device that can drive a surprising range of headphones well while providing capabilities ranging from a wireless streamer to a S/PDIF transport or a next level iPod, DX170 continues the DX160’s legacy as an incredible little DAP that doesn’t cost a whole lot of money. |
FPGA-Master + Dual Femtosecond NDK Oscillators
The DX170 utilizes the FPGA-Master technology developed by iBasso. The FPGA-Master, as the audio system controller, directly requests audio data from the SoC, and plays a major role in signal reproduction and maintaining signal integrity. It synchronizes and generates all audio clocks at the same time utilizing two NDK femtosecond oscillators to achieve a fully synchronized single clock source. The FPGA and NDK oscillators also reduce jitter to an extremely low level, building a clean digital audio signal.
Cirrus CS43131 (x2)
Dual Cirrus Logic flagship CS43131 DAC chips are used. With an exclusive OPAMP+BUF amplification after the CS43131, the DX170 brings out its strengths while retaining the CS43131's transparency and exquisiteness.
The New Generation RK SoC
With the advanced process technology of the RK3566, the system response is significantly improved. The AnTuTu score now reaches 100,000, far exceeding the Qualcomm 430/425 platform commonly used by players of the same price range. The user experience is greatly improved and enhanced.
