iBasso DX340 Limited Titanium Edition: A Titanium-Built Flagship DAP for Reference Listening

The iBasso DX340 Limited Titanium Edition is the most refined expression of iBasso’s flagship digital audio player platform to date. Designed for audiophiles who demand uncompromising sound and long-term upgrade flexibility, this limited edition elevates the DX340 architecture with a CNC-milled titanium housing, advanced discrete DAC implementation, and a newly modified AMP15 amplifier module.

Blending cutting-edge digital design with high-powered analog performance, the DX340 Limited Titanium Edition positions itself as a true reference-grade portable source.

CNC-Milled Titanium Housing

The Limited Titanium Edition replaces stainless steel with a precision CNC-milled titanium chassis, delivering enhanced rigidity, reduced resonance, and a distinctive premium aesthetic. Titanium’s strength-to-weight ratio allows for exceptional durability while maintaining structural integrity under intensive daily use.

The result is a flagship DAP that not only feels substantial in hand but also reflects its performance-oriented engineering philosophy.

Advanced Discrete DAC Architecture with FPGA Master 3.0

At the core of the DX340 Limited Titanium Edition lies a fully discrete DAC topology built around:

  • 16 groups of 8E PWM DAC discrete components
  • Self-developed FPGA Master 3.0 technology
  • Two Accusilicon femtosecond quartz oscillators

This 1-bit PWM DAC configuration is controlled by iBasso’s proprietary FPGA Master 3.0 system, ensuring ultra-precise timing, minimized jitter, and accurate waveform reconstruction. The inclusion of dual Accusilicon femtosecond oscillators further enhances clock stability, thereby improving micro-detail retrieval and spatial precision.

The DX340 supports high-resolution playback, including:

  • PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz
  • Native DSD512

Together, these components allow the DX340 to deliver exceptional clarity, low distortion, and a level of timing accuracy that rivals many desktop systems.

Newly Modified AMP15 Modular Amplifier Card

The DX340 Limited Titanium Edition includes a newly modified, replaceable AMP15 headphone amplifier card, continuing iBasso’s modular amplifier philosophy.

Key amplifier highlights include:

  • 2150mW + 2150mW @ 32Ω output power
  • Support for 12V external power supply
  • Compatibility with additional iBasso AMP modules

The robust output capability ensures the DX340 can drive a wide range of headphones—from sensitive IEMs to full-size planar magnetic designs—with authority and control. The ability to use a 12V external power supply further enhances performance for users seeking even greater headroom in demanding listening scenarios. This modular architecture also provides a future upgrade path, allowing users to swap amplifier cards as new options are introduced.

Patented Dual-Battery Architecture

A defining feature of the DX340 platform is its patented dual-battery architecture, which independently powers the digital and analog sections. By separating power delivery to the digital processing stage and the headphone amplifier, the DX340 minimizes electromagnetic interference and stabilizes amplifier performance. This architecture ensures cleaner signal reproduction and reduces sound degradation caused by insufficient or unstable power supply. Unified power management, charging, and battery monitoring are presented through a streamlined interface, maintaining usability despite the complex internal design.

Dual Operating System: Android 13 and Mango OS

The DX340 Limited Titanium Edition features a dual operating system design, offering both flexibility and purity in playback.

  • Non-SRC Android 13 open system allows bit-perfect playback while supporting streaming apps and third-party software.
  • Mango OS Linux closed Reinton system provides a stripped-down, audio-focused playback environment for the most direct signal path.

The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 SoC, paired with:

  • 8GB RAM
  • 256GB internal storage (ROM)

Storage can be expanded via a microSD card, enabling users to carry extensive high-resolution libraries on the go.

6.0-Inch AMOLED Display

The DX340 Limited Titanium Edition features a 6.0-inch 1080P AMOLED screen, delivering vibrant colors, sharp resolution, and responsive touch controls. The display enhances usability for both Mango OS and Android 13 environments, providing intuitive access to playback controls, filters, and system settings.

Multi-Order Harmonic Adjustment

For advanced customization, the DX340 includes a multi-order harmonic adjustment function, allowing users to fine-tune harmonic structure and tailor the sonic character to their preference. This feature provides additional flexibility for listeners seeking either a more analytical or subtly enriched presentation.

The iBasso DX340 Flagship Digital Audio Player is available now in the UK from Advanced MP3 Players at £1499, with a limited edition titanium version priced at £1899.

In the United States, pricing is set at $1699 for the standard version.
