64 GBProduct details
The iBasso DX240 is a high-resolution player that delights both the eyes and ears. The integrated ES9038Pro DAC chip is designed for the most demanding applications, ensuring smooth playback of high-resolution audio files. The DX240 delivers a clean, well-resolved sound with precise micro-details, a straightforward, refined bass, and excellent dynamics. Each instrument is easily distinguishable, and the sounds are accurately placed within a solid soundstage. In terms of aesthetics and feel, the DX240 offers a lot as well. The nearly bezel-less 5-inch display is exceptionally sharp and color-accurate, and the operation is incredibly fast and fluid. The player, housed in an aluminum casing with gently rounded edges, feels very comfortable in the hand, making music listening twice as enjoyable. The Android 9.0-based operating system allows for the installation of any apps, enabling you to take advantage of a vast music selection through streaming services. The APKPure store is already installed on the DX240, allowing you to download and use apps directly on the device. The DX240 can be launched either in Android mode with its diverse features or as a pure music system, referred to as Mango OS. With Mango OS, all additional functions like apps, WiFi, and Bluetooth are disabled, and the DX240 operates solely as a music player for a purist listening experience of stored music. Additionally, the iBasso DX240 can be used as a USB DAC to enjoy premium sound quality on a computer. Besides WiFi for streaming services, the DX240 is also equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless music playback to a Bluetooth headphone or speaker. The DX240 can also function as a Bluetooth receiver, allowing it to wirelessly receive music from a smartphone or laptop. For good Bluetooth sound quality, the DX240 supports aptX, AAC, and LDAC.
