iBasso DX260 Mk. II

The DX260MKII is the definitive version of its already great predecessor. It's got eight flagship DAC chips (Cirrus Logic CS43198) combined with iBasso's own audio processing tech (called FPGA-Master 2.0), translating to breathtaking clarity, depth, and precision for your favorite tracks.

The DX260MKII is also designed to be easy and enjoyable to use. They've upgraded to a faster Snapdragon 665 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of quick UFS internal storage.This means it runs butter smooth, whether you're flicking through your music library or using streaming apps.

You can use Android 13 for all your favorite streaming apps. Or, for the purest sound, switch to iBasso's Mango OS – a Linux-based system that cuts out Wi-Fi and Bluetooth interference to focus solely on music playback. Both systems ensure the best possible sound quality by bypassing any system-level sound processing.

Here’s what the DX260MKII offers:

• High-Quality File Support: Plays high-resolution audio like PCM up to 32bit/768kHz and native DSD up to DSD256 (even DSD512 according to some reports).

• Clear Display: Features a sharp 5-inch touchscreen for easy navigation.

• Good Connectivity: Comes with Bluetooth 5.0, dual-band Wi-Fi, and a fast USB 3.1 port.

• Powerful Enough for Your Headphones: Delivers plenty of power for a wide range of headphones and IEMs.

• Long Listening Sessions: The battery provides around 14 hours of playback.

• Solid Build & Practical Design: It has a sturdy aluminum body. The back cover is even removable, which could be handy for future battery replacement. Plus, it can bypass the battery when plugged in and charging, which is good for battery longevity.

• Versatile Outputs: Includes a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, a 4.4mm balanced jack, and a coaxial output.
