The New Flagship DX340

The DX340 has inherited the dual system controllers and dual batteries power supply structure of the DX300 series and is equipped with the industry-leading in-house discrete PWM-DAC and FPGA-Master 3.0 technologies. The -119dB THD+N is in the league of flagship desktop discrete DAC, allowing the DX340 to break through to the new heights for discrete component portable players. The replaceable AMP card with 12V DC-IN enriches the DX340' s functionality and playability and allows the DX340 to output up to 2150mW+2150mW@32Ω.

FPGA-Master 3.0

The DX340s FPGA-Master 3.0 brings together iBasso's algorithm achievements from the past few years and is the reason they have been able to accomplish breakthroughs for their discrete DAC. As the audio system controller, it 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 utilizing two Accusilicon femtosecond oscillators to achieve a fully synchronized single clock source.

The number of LUT units in this new FPGA chip is 7.5 times that of FPGA-Master2.0. This allows the FPGA-Master3.0 to be equipped with their new and exclusive harmonic adjustment algorithm, which makes odd and even harmonics adjustment possible.

128 Discrete PWM-DACs

The DX340 employs 16 Sets of cascaded 8E PWM-DACs. There are 4 sets per L+, L-, R+, R-, which is 32 PWM-DACs. The quantity of the DAC exceeds that of other portable discrete DACs by more than 6.4 times. The remarkable integration of accurate decoding and a substantial quantity of extremely high-quality DACs results in a THD+N level of -119dB, significantly outperforming similar open source PWM-DACs (-80dB), clearly positioning the DX340 as a leader in this industry.

Dual Battery Power Supply

The power supply is a fundamental component that significantly influences the sound quality of the player. When the player operates on a single battery, high load conditions can lead to an inadequate power supply, resulting in additional distortion and a subsequent decline in sound quality.

DX340 features iBasso's innovative dual battery structure, ensuring that both the digital and AMP sections are powered by an independent battery for optimal performance. An independent battery power supply guarantees the stability of the AMP section's power, while effectively isolating electromagnetic interference from the digital section. This significantly mitigates the decline in sound quality that can result from inadequate power supply.

Simultaneously, iBasso has enhanced the dual battery structure of the DX340, implementing a single battery indicator for charging and power monitoring. When linked to a USB charger that provides adequate power, the DX340 will override the internal battery system and operate solely on the external power source. The ever-evolving dual battery structure stands as a testament to our unmatched innovation.

Replaceable AMP Card Design

DX340 utilizes iBasso's replaceable amp card design, which is compatible with the AMP12, AMP13, & AMP14, and will also be compatible with other upcoming AMP1x series AMP cards.

The standard AMP card AMP15 utilizes 8 pieces BUF634 to ensure the high output ability. This new AMP card also supports external DC 12V power supply. After connecting to the DC 12V power supply, the amp power supply will be increased from the default ±8V to ±12V, and the "Super gain mode" will be available, the output power will be up to 2150mW+2150mW@32Ω. The exceptional output power allows the DX340 to drive IEMs and headphones with ease.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 SoC

The DX340 features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 SoC, complemented by 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.1 high-speed memory, guaranteeing seamless system performance. The extensive memory capacity facilitates with ease the installation of substantial software volumes without concern. The DX340 offers Micro SD card expansion capabilities of up to 2TB, ensuring that storage space is never a concern.

iBasso DX340 DAP in the box

Excellent DAP and service

Solid player with great features. This is my third DAP from Ibasso and am very happy with the build and features. Probably won't use this as a portable most of the time due to size and weight. Love that the battery is replaceable and shutdown time. Still playing with the tuning options and enjoying that. Highly recommend.
The team at Bloom Audio offer great customer service. Answering any questions I had promptly.

Insanely good.

I've wasted so much time and money on other DAPs from Fiio, Shanling, etc. and now I've finally found the one.

Swappable batteries, swappable amp circuits, swappable back plates, what else do I have to say. iBasso has a track record of supporting previous generation products with new software and new hardware addons for years to come. Hardly anyone else is doing this across the entire tech space. that alone is enough to support iBasso here.

Beyond that, the tech in this DAP is fantastic. Software is pretty great. The build is amazing. The stock amp sounds amazing. The GaN amp and Tube amp cards sound amazing and unique. This DAP is basically heaven. They almost have enough power to drive my Susvara with similar authority to my desktop amp when running in 12v DC Super gain mode.

My only complaint is that I wish the stand-by battery was a little better, and I wish that the build was a bit thinner and lighter. The side buttons are a bit touchy, but that is a nit-pick. I'll own this thing for the next half-decade at the least. Its incredible.

I don't even need to say it, because everyone knows it at this point, but Bloom is amazing. These guys really are the ice cream on top of the cake when buying audio gear.

Awesome DAP

The Ibasso dx340 is an incredible DAP, comes well packaged, beautiful case included. Some will say that it’s heavy, and they would be right, but it’s so solid I don’t mind it all, and the sound quality more than makes up for any additional weight. If you have the money DO IT, you will not be disappointed !!!!

The ultimate Dap

Coming from several daps. This one is above the rest. Aside from some cool features like interchangeable amps, the sound is the star of the show. Wide open sound stage with outstanding clarity. Paired with the Arya Unvailed it's just incredible. Grab one while you can. Bloom Audio is exactly where you should get it. Customer service off the charts.

Everything I've Wanted

The build, the DAC, the variety of interchangeable AMP's, the replaceable battery... best in show at the moment. I'm over the moon with this purchase and Bloom Audio went above and beyond in customer service.

The variety of options can be overwhelming when delving into the Dx340. The DAP is just the beginning because the Dx340 performs better and better stacked with a linear power supply and ideally a Ibasso PB5. The customization for your particular ideal sound profile is unlimited except maybe by your wallet.
