The iBasso AMP8 is an amplifier board that can be combined with the iBasso DX150 or DX200 DAPs. This amplifier integrates a discrete symmetrical circuit with high voltage and output current. A high output current is very useful, for example, when using low impedance multi-membrane IEMs. For the design of this amplification circuit, low VCE transistors are used and manually sorted and paired to provide transparent and linear sound reproduction. The transistors used for the buffer have an output current of 2700mAh, allowing the AMP8 to be used with IEMs or headsets requiring a high current. On the output connector side, there is a symmetrical 4.4mm Pentaconn plug with a wide double contact zone for low resistance and therefore better current transmission.

When designing a portable amplifier, it is almost impossible to use ÄOPs while achieving a high voltage and output current. Some engineers use a TPA6120 chip on the buffer stage to reach 750mA in output current. However, this implies an output impedance of 10 Ohm which is not ideal for the use of IEM or low impedance headphones.

Based on this observation, iBasso has chosen to use discrete components usually found in larger amplifiers. The design of the device is therefore more complex, but this method allows a higher current and output voltage to be achieved, while maintaining a low impedance and ensuring very good measurements.

The AMP8 follows this design model and can therefore accompany the iBasso DX 150 and DX200 DAPs so that you can enjoy your music to the full.

Average Play Time: 7 hours. Play time varies with different sample/bit rates, volume and headphone/IEM loads.

 

iBasso AMP8 Features

  • +/-8V high voltage swing. This significantly improves dynamics and headroom, resulting in a more accurate sound that is true to the recording.
  • AMP8 has a complete new discrete circuit design that is dedicated to iBasso DX150 and iBasso DX200 and features both a high voltage and current output.
  • Low VCE transistors used on the buffer stage have a 2700mAh output current rating, which allows the AMP8 to drive IEMs and headphones that require high current with ease.
  • Pentaconn 4.4mm balanced output port.
