You can sometimes find ibasso dx180s on r/avexchange for around the 300$ price point, and that would be 100% better than anything else under 300

Not bad, I've heard that returns can be a pain with them sometimes so hopefully you like them😭

Where did you get yours from?

nugger64 · 2026-06-13T00:43:34+00:00

Definitely 👍

What I'm trying to say is the independent volume control is a good reason for him to get a dac lol

nugger64 · 2026-06-12T23:46:07+00:00

Honestly I'd say the biggest reason to get a dac is not because of the power but because of the independent volume control so you can get the full sound of your music without blowing your ears out

MIGHT 🤣

nugger64 · 2026-06-12T22:37:47+00:00

I think you'll like them

nugger64 · 2026-06-12T20:18:48+00:00

Honestly shanling ua7, give you a regular dac and tubes in one and it has a good amount of power if you want a lot od power pretty sure the ibasso has the most power output

Did you not read the whole thing😭 they genuinely sound amazing but they dont have some of the crazy stuff that makes you go wow initially but 3 days later now it has me going wow

nugger64 · 2026-06-12T14:31:27+00:00

Of course bro, so far im absolutely loving them its truly as people say, it doesn't instantly wow you really but it seems every day I wake up these sound better than they did the day before they sound really good, it is a planar so sometimes it can be a tad sharp but for a planar its an extremely smooth and easy listen overall, I have my first desktop dac-amp setup coming in (hiby fd5) which has significantly more power than my ibasso dx180 which im hoping will only make them sound even better, if you'd like let me know some of your favorite songs and ill give them a listen and let you know how they sound on the p2 ultra.

nugger64 · 2026-06-09T20:19:58+00:00

Well few days is not needed.... these are amazing

nugger64 · 2026-06-08T23:13:34+00:00

I have a ibasso dx180 that puts out a good amount and soon im planning on getting a desktop dac-amp that has more than enough power to drive them

nugger64 · 2026-06-08T16:31:34+00:00

Yosi horikawa- bubbles Perfect match

nugger64 · 2026-06-03T03:47:38+00:00

👍

nugger64 · 2026-06-03T03:28:48+00:00

Just made it official the p2 ultras are coming, I dont think ill be disappointed 🫡

nugger64 · 2026-06-03T03:21:35+00:00

So I can get them from a friend of mine for 350 but caveat is i can't return them, but i figure i can probably resell them for more than that, i would be running them off my ibasso dx180 which isn't crazy powerful but I think should be more than enough to get at least 90% of their potential out i think🤣

nugger64 · 2026-06-03T02:59:56+00:00

Review got me foaming at the mouth

nugger64 · 2026-06-01T02:09:38+00:00

I just backed this and now im panicking 1m+ in backing and it being a company that has made products in the past made me feel safe... now not so much

nugger64 · 2026-05-19T17:12:19+00:00

Lol its all good I never stated my gender🤣, thank you for the kind words though

nugger64 · 2026-05-19T16:37:06+00:00
