A true concentration of technology

The iBasso DX260MK2, the brand’s new digital audio player, is a true concentration of technology. Featuring a perfectly optimised design and audiophile-grade components, it offers a beautifully rich listening experience. Its new interface guarantees intuitive, fluid navigation and seamless operation.

iBasso DX260MK2: 8x CS43198 DAC

The iBasso DX260MK2 features 8 high-end Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC chips. These offer excellent performance, with a wide dynamic range, incredible reproduction of micro-detail and extremely low noise floor.

This Octa DAC matrix and its integration guarantee both superb sound quality and exceptional measurements with a THD+N of up to -123dB.

iBasso DX260MK2: FPGA-Master 2.0 audio controller

After years of development work on a high-performance algorithm, the FPGA-Master has now reached version 2.0. As an audio controller, it retrieves audio data directly from the SoC and plays a major role in reproducing the signal and maintaining its integrity. It synchronises and generates all audio clocks using two NDK femtosecond oscillators for total synchronisation of clock sources. The FPGA-Master 2.0 also features extremely precise control and adjusts the DAC clock, data and builds the FIR filter.

iBasso DX260MK2: FIR filter

Thanks to the new FPGA-Master 2.0 algorithm, the potential of the 8 CS43198 DACs is maximised.

Parallel synchronous output mode :

Reduces distortion between DAC chips to improve overall performance.

FIR 2x mode, FIR 4x mode :

With FPGA-Master 2.0, picosecond control and precise adjustment of the DAC clock are implemented, allowing independent adjustment for each conversion chip. Through this architecture, the DACs form an analogue FIR filter that reduces distortion while improving sonic accuracy.

iBasso DX260MK2: True power

At the heart of the iBasso DX260MK2 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor, 4GB RAM and 128GB ROM. This design ensures smooth operation.

iBasso DX260MK2: Android 13 + Mango OS + Open OS + Linux OS

The DX260MK2 benefits from an OS based on Android 13, enabling the installation of numerous streaming applications. The DX260MK2 effectively bypasses SRC at the system level. Whether with its Mango player or a third-party streaming application, you can enjoy exceptional sound quality.

The iBasso DX260MK2 also uses Mango OS, a Linux audio system meticulously designed to deliver excellent playback performance. Over time, this system has benefited from numerous optimisations to its algorithms, focusing on audio playback. Resolutely audiophile, this system generates no WiFi or Bluetooth interference, has very low EMI levels and offers a pure listening experience.

iBasso DX260MK2: USB DAC mode

With its dedicated USB receiver, the DX260MK2 can also be used as a low-latency USB DAC. It also supports ASIO / WASAPI drivers, so you can easily enhance your computer’s sound reproduction.

iBasso DX260MK2: A revisited interface

The new Mango player interface offers a revamped design and an optimised user experience. Navigation is fluid and intuitive, and the DAP is a pleasure to use.

iBasso DX260MK2: Detachable rear panel

Based on the design of the DX260, the DX260MK2 sports an industrial look. Its rear panel can be removed, providing access to the battery for easy replacement.
