iBasso DX260MK2 Audio Player Review

A revised DX260 from iBasso, the DX260MK2 is described on the page as changing the SoC, storage, Android version and one color while leaving the audio circuit as it was. The page names eight CS43198 DAC chips and lists PCM at 32bit/768kHz and native DSD256, and the player costs $999.99. The page also gives a 5.0-inch touch screen, 128GB of UFS storage with 4GB RAM, and Android 13.

Specifications

Options and pricing

Two colors are listed, DX260MK2-Silver-White and DX260MK2-Silver-Blue, each priced at $999.99 and shown as orderable. The page calls the white-silver finish a new color option and mentions a removable back cover. The page text lists no box contents, memory card slot or accessory options, so the $999.99 covers the player as the page describes it.

How it compares

The iBasso DX270 R2R Ultra costs $1,299 and its spec line gives an 8-Channel R2R, fully differential design, while this player is $999.99 with eight CS43198 chips. The HiBy R6Pro Max is $999 and its spec line names 8-Way I/V amplification. Choose the DX260MK2 for the stated 1015mW per channel at 32Ω; the DX270 is the higher-priced option with an R2R design.

Shipping, returns and warranty

HiFiGO sells from hifigo.com and says every order leaves its warehouse in China, usually 1-3 business days after it is placed, and says its delivery times are estimates, not promises. Its shipping policy gives the United States 1-2 weeks (about 10 days on average) by Priority and 6-10 days by Premium, both with duties and taxes prepaid by the store; Canada 2-3 weeks; the United Kingdom 1-2 weeks; and Australia 10-15 days. Express couriers (DHL, UPS, FedEx) take 3-7 days, but then the buyer pays any duties and taxes. No shipping page names New Zealand, PO boxes are not accepted, and the free-shipping thresholds differ between the store's own pages, so check the cart. One of its two shipping pages adds that a lost parcel on an order above $50 gets only a 50% refund. A US buyer reported a $40 tariff charge in August 2025, after which HiFiGO said it had added a customs notice at checkout.

Read the return terms before you order. The homepage advertises 7-day returns. Both of HiFiGO's policy pages offer a 7-day dead-on-arrival cover (a replacement or a full refund, with the return postage refunded) and also describe 30-day returns, but a request made 7 to 30 days after delivery loses 30% of the MSRP as a restocking fee (10% more if the packaging is incomplete), plus shipping both ways and duties, and the FAQ on the same pages says there is no refund or exchange once 7 days have passed. One version recommends reselling an opened product locally. Custom IEMs and custom cables cannot be returned, no return address is published, and buyers describe sending items back to China.

HiFiGO's warranty runs one year from the order date for parts and labor; its policy names desktop DACs and amps, IEMs and dongles at one year and gives cables and adapters three months. HiFiGO decides between repair and replacement, the buyer pays the shipping, and faulty items go back for service, not for a refund. Claims go to [email protected], the only contact the store lists: its pages name no company, street address or phone, and its terms are governed by the laws of China.

On Trustpilot, HiFiGO had 4.6 out of 5 from 378 reviews when we checked on 2026-10-28 (91% five-star, 5% one-star), and it had replied to about 75% of negative reviews; Trustpilot notes the store has not invited customers to review recently. The one-star reviews mostly concern the short return window and the deductions on returns, items listed in stock that turned out back-ordered, slow email support and a tariff charge on a US delivery in 2025. HiFiGO says its products are genuine and come in the brands' retail packaging; it does not claim to be an authorized dealer.
