For music lovers who want a budget-friendly option to experience audiophile-level performance in a mobile form factor, look to the DX180 Hi-Fi Digital Audio Player from iBasso. It features the FPGA-Master 2.0 system controller that has picosecond-level precision, synchronizing all clocks using two NDSK femtosecond oscillators. It also fully exploits the quad DAC array that consists of CS43131 chips, Cirrus Logic's flagship DACs. This achieves 690mW of power at 32 ohms, 130 dB SNR, and a THD+N measurement of -121 dB, exceeding the abilities of the DACs individually. It's all managed via a responsive Android 13 OS through a 1080 x 1920 5" touchscreen. Listen via your choice of phone/line-out 3.5mm single-ended or 4.4mm balanced outputs.
