iBasso Audio is a Shenzhen-based Chinese company, launched in 2006, that designs portable digital audio players, in-ear monitors and portable amplifiers. Its DX series of players is what most buyers know it for, and the firm drew early attention as one of the first to offer a 24-bit/192kHz Android audio player for high-resolution playback and streaming on the move. The current site lists more than twenty DX models past and present.
Range & what it's known for
Players are the centre of the catalogue. Current and recent DX models include the DX270 at USD 1,149, the DX260 MK2 and DX240 at USD 949 each and the DX340 at USD 1,699, while earlier models such as the DX170, the DX180 at USD 480, the DX300 and DX320 are now discontinued. The DX320MAX and DX300MAX Ti formed a separate top tier at around USD 3,300 to USD 3,500. Alongside the players iBasso builds in-ear monitors such as the IT07, portable headphone amplifiers and USB DACs, plus amp cards and cases sold as accessories, and it runs a separate iBasso Jr. line of smaller devices.
Who owns it and where it's made
iBasso is a Chinese company headquartered in Shenzhen, where its products are developed. It started out with portable headphone amplifiers and DACs before moving into players, earphones and full-size headphones, and it sells internationally through distributors and specialist shops. Its own web store lists the players together with replacement amp cards, cases and the portable amplifier range, so accessories come straight from the maker.
The lineup in this catalog
Digital audio players and in-ear monitors, with prices running from roughly USD 200 to above USD 2,000 across the range.
Who it's for
iBasso builds for the listener who has stopped relying on a phone and wants one dedicated player for both streaming and local high-resolution files. A model from the DX260 MK2 or DX270 tier is a sensible entry, the DX340 is one tier higher, and the MAX models sit above for those who want the largest players. The IT series earphones complete a portable setup from the same maker.
