Introduction

iBasso is a Chinese brand that is known for their digital audio players (DAPS). They have released the iBasso DX200 not too long ago to mark their 10th anniversary. The iBasso DX200 allows the change of amp modules for different sound signatures. Recently, iBasso has released the DX150 that comes with the AMP6 module. I would like to thank iBasso for providing the DX150 as a review unit. You can purchase the DX150 from their official website, iBasso .

After opening the package, there is the DX150. Below the DX150 is a rectangular package that contains case, burn-in cable, coaxial cable, USB Type C cable, warranty card and screen protector. Overall, the accessories are rather sufficient and it is presented nicely.
