An Epic Digital Audio Player With An Octa DAC Chip Matrix More details
Introducing the DX260 music player from iBasso Audio. iBasso represents an incredible value here at Moon Audio with pristine audio quality and amazing affordability that few DAP/music player manufacturers can match. The DX260 music player is equipped with not one, not two, not four, but EIGHT CS43198 Cirrus Logic DAC chips - a flagship-level DAC chip delivering exceptional audio performance. The Octa-DAC configuration results in incredibly detailed and layered audio reproduction, and new DNR, SNR, and THD+N measurements that completely obliterate what the previous generation (DX240) could do.
iBasso music players have some of the best-looking screens on the hi-res audiophile music player market. The DX260 sports a vibrant 6.5-inch HD (2340 x 1080) IPS touchscreen with the full Android 11 OS along with Mango OS, which is designed for a pure listening experience, free from WiFi and BT Interference and lower EMI.
New to the DX lineup of DAPs is a removable back cover, allowing the user to easily replace the battery when needed. The more industrial design of the DX260 is also different from the 300 series, opting for sharper lines and rougher textures. No matter what file formats/audio formats, audio files/music files, audiobooks, podcasts, or hi-res music - the DX260 has all the compatibility with your favorite music apps and music library. You can stream or download music to your heart’s content, knowing that the DX260 music player will optimize your listening experience for the best sound quality. Say goodbye to your mp3 player, iPod, or iPhone - whatever you used to listen to your music on. The DX260 DAP is packed with a high-end audiophile-grade digital-to-analog converter, compatibility with all file formats (AAC, Flac, and more), and even Bluetooth for wireless listening. It’s the best music player and music downloader that can fit in the palm of your hand at this price range. With great battery life, you can now take your favorite high-resolution music with you everywhere!
The DX260 features a whopping eight DAC chips - configured with the flagship-level CS43198 DAC from Cirrus Logic. This results in amazing detail and layering for any genre of music out there. Because of the new Octa-DAC design, the DX260 has excellent dynamic range and is able to bring out even the most minute detailing in your favorite music. The music player also features an impressively low noise floor, bringing it to spec with some of the top-performing gear on the audiophile market.
The DX260's measurements are some of the best for music players. THD+N hits an astounding -123 dB! DNR and SNR measurements are leaps ahead of what the DX240 offered as well. This is a new standard in excellence for iBasso, and provides amazing performance that is unmatched at this price range.
The DX260 features the latest system controller update from iBasso with the FPGA-Master 2.0. The system controller directly requests audio data from the SoC (system-on-a-chip) and plays a critical role in maintaining signal integrity and reproduction. It syncs all the audio clocks with two NDK femtosecond oscillators that work in unison as a fully synchronized, single clock source. The FPGA-Master 2.0 system controller also offers haspicosecond-level precision and control, as well as adjusts the DAC clock, data, and constructing the FIR filter.
The DX260 DAP Music player is equipped with a synchronous parallel output mode which reduces the discrete distortion between the DAC configuration and improves the overall performance of the DAC network.
With the implementation of the FPGA-Master 2.0, the DX260 is able to obtain incredibly precise control of the DAC clock and the data it receives. This effectively makes each DAC data stream independently adjustable. Why is this important? Because through a delay parallel of 4 DACs, the chips form a hardware analog FIR filter. This averages the differences between multiple DACs, reducing and minimizing distortion while improving the sound detail and realism at the same time.

The DX260 DAP also features Mango OS, which is a Linux-based audio operating system that is designed with pristine audio playback at the forefront. Mango OS optimizes driver algorithms to focus and prioritize audio playback over other functions of the music player. This means that you'll get no Wi-FI or Bluetooth interference, lower EMI, and nothing getting in the way of you and your music. You can also take advantage of the system-level "Non-SRC" feature, giving you the highest quality sound from your recording or file playback.
