It gives up to 690mW per channel into 32Ω, bypasses sample-rate conversion for every app, and plays for up to 15.5 hours, or 30 hours from the line out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/ibasso-dx180-digital-audio-player-photo-hero.jpg?v=1791344573\" alt=\"iBasso DX180 music players in black, green and blue\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCS43131 × 4: a flagship DAC array\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CS43131, a flagship DAC chip from Cirrus Logic, is rated for 130dB dynamic range and −115dB THD+N.

As the audio system controller, it requests audio data directly from the processor and plays a major part in reproducing the signal and keeping it intact. It generates and synchronises all the audio clocks from two NDK femtosecond oscillators, controls the DAC clocks and data with picosecond precision, and builds an FIR filter from the DACs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/ibasso-dx180-digital-audio-player-photo-fpga.jpg?v=1791344579\" alt=\"The FPGA-Master 2.0 controller of the iBasso DX180\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo ways to use four DACs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFPGA-Master 2.0’s algorithm makes full use of the four CS43131s, so together they outperform what one chip can do. In synchronous parallel mode, the DACs run together to reduce the “discrete distortion” between them. In FIR 2x mode, each DAC’s data stream is adjusted independently and the DACs run one clock cycle apart, forming a hardware analogue FIR filter that averages out the differences between them, reducing distortion and bringing out detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/ibasso-dx180-digital-audio-player-photo-fir.jpg?v=1791344582\" alt=\"How the FIR 2x mode of the iBasso DX180 combines two delayed DACs\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA noise floor as low as 0.79µV\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe line out’s noise floor is just 0.79µV, and even at maximum volume on high gain the balanced output measures only 1.1µV, so the DX180 has a distinct quietness, and its black background makes music sound vivid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/ibasso-dx180-digital-audio-player-photo-noise.jpg?v=1791344586\" alt=\"iBasso DX180 with in-ear monitors\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e690mW + 690mW into 32Ω\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4.4mm balanced output gives up to 690mW per channel into 32Ω (4Vrms on low gain, 6Vrms on high gain), and the 3.5mm output 281mW into 32Ω or 525mW into 16Ω.
