D20 High-Fidelity DAC — AIYIMA 10th Anniversary Series Finale

[Marion]

Will the D20 feature a 10th-anniversary logo?

 

[Adrien Brody]

我喜欢VU材质的主题。如果是黄色或绿色的就更好了。

That sounds like a great idea. No worries—our system supports future upgrades and will offer various styles of VU meters and spectrum analyzers, and even other customizable patterns.

 

[Adrien Brody]

Hello everybody!
I’ve been a big fan of AIYIMA for a long time and have collected several of your amplifiers and audio products over the years. Your gear consistently delivers incredible performance for the price, and it’s one of the reasons many enthusiasts like me keep coming back to the brand.

The new D20 looks like it has the potential to become a flagship product in its category.

One small suggestion: if the firmware will be updatable, it would be great if the process is simple and accessible for users outside Asia, especially for those of us in the Americas. It would also be fantastic if English and Spanish language support are included.

Thank you for continuing to innovate and create great audio gear for the community.

Thank you for your support. We currently offer both English and Chinese options; moving forward, we will assess user demand and appropriately add languages from other countries.

 

[Adrien Brody]

Will the D20 be able to output to RCA and XLR at the same time?

Yes, it supports independent RCA and XLR outputs, as well as simultaneous output via multiple interfaces; this is an optional feature.

 

[Adrien Brody]

Looking forward to complete the set, i already have a20 and t20.

Is there a way to impulse match the subwoofer + speakers with the d20?

You can use our A20 to connect and match a subwoofer; the D20 was not specifically designed for use with subwoofers.

 

[Adrien Brody]

Looks amazing so far. Love the crisp clean interface. Excited to have the dual DAC option. I’ve been an Aiyima Fan since the beginning (still have and use the original A07) and am really excited to see what comes next! Please have a spectrum analyzer in addition to the VU meters! Firmware updates are hopefully easily able to be done over the web. Dongles and drives are often problematic and time consuming. Good luck. Looking forward to whats next!

Yes, we have a spectrum analyzer.

 

[Adrien Brody]

Loving Aiyima from when I started get into budget audio with the A07 pro the A80 amp. Hoping this new D20 with work properly with A80 and having option to update Firmware easily for future prof.
A nice and good/premium looking remote will be great too.

We have specially customized a high-quality remote control for the D20 and T20, capable of controlling both devices simultaneously.

Discussion & Interaction​

We’d love to hear your thoughts and expectations:

• What are your expectations for the design and features of the D20?
• Which visualization themes or smart features would you like to see?

Your feedback is very important to us — maybe your idea will be included in the next firmware update!

What a great news!
I have been following the updates closely, I am expecting great sound performance out of this DAC.
I sincerely hope it doesn’t disappoint

Congrats for a great looking design. When conceiving the D20 were you aware that a competitor already had dual DAC chips units, so that you said "we can do it as well, but even better"? Or was this a coincidence?
Kind Regards.

On one hand, we have observed that there is an overwhelming array of DAC options available on the market; however, most of these devices are equipped with only a single decoding chip. From a user's perspective, do we really need to frequently swap between so many different DACs just to listen to music? No—a single unit is more than sufficient. On the other hand, we are convinced that we can do better.

 

[Adrien Brody]

Can you use UAC 2.0 same time? I hope it will be if you do not on this version.

USB supports UAC 2.0/UAC 1.0 switching to meet the needs of gaming users.

VU Meters 칩셋 등등 물른 중요 합니다
하지만 오디오는 무엇보다 소리와 음질이
중요하다고 생각 합니다
이제 우리들의 AIYIMA 역시 AIYIMA 의 고유의 음색과 음질의 디지인이 만들어
갈때가 된듯 합니다 이제는 HIFI 회사에
걸맞게 AIYIMA 고유의 소리를 만들어
주세요 D20에 대하여 저의 작은 소망을
가져본다면 VU 미터는 디지인은 상관 없지만 AIYIMA 고유의 색깔 예를들면 맥켄토시는 하늘색 단다고스티노는 형광색
크렐은 붉은색 처럼 AIYIMA 고유의 색깔을 찾아넣어 주시면. 어떨까? 작은 소망을
가집니다 음질은 타사의 DAC처럼 차갑고
텅빈 음색이 아니라 따듯하고 중부한 저음이 나와 쥤으면 합니다 오래전부터 D20
기다리고 있습니다 이미A20+T20은
가지고 있고 D20을 기다리고 있습니다
천천히 출시되도 좋으니 멋진 녀석으로
만들어 주시길 바랍니다
엔지니어분들의 노고에 박수를 보내 드립니다 항상 여러분들을 응원하는 팬들이
만다는걸 알아 주시길 바랍니다
화이팅 하시고 오늘 하루도 수고 하셨습니다

Our VU meters primarily feature a black and red color scheme.

Congrats on new release, looking forward to a listen.

Love the many customization options. Should pair well with my Aiyima T20

Excelent product!
Wide range of connectivity options. Looking forward to test it soon!

 

[Adrien Brody]

The new Aiyima D20 has a pretty fun concept of different DAC chip in the same package, kind of wish we can somehow use both at the same time, or even alternating between two chips during playback for funsies !
As for the themes, maybe we can get one that pulsates accordingly to the audio being played ? It'd look more livelier than a static screen.

Yes, D20 has thematic content that follows the rhythm of the music.

 

[Adrien Brody]

Congrats for a great looking design. Is there a remote? Can you use UAC 2.0 same time? I like the screen, like еverything!

The D20 supports switchable UAC 2.0/1.0 modes.

 

[Adrien Brody]

Beautifull design of while stack. I like that only D3 has screen, that way whole stack makes great balance between modern and traditional look. I have douk ampapapa d1, q1 and a1 stack, and its quite good. However, A1 is not balanced, no triger. Also q1 doesn’t have trigger in so I cannot automate with my streamer. Also I like aiyima design better. I would like to ask if it is possible to change dac chips on the fly similarly to Q1?

Yes, the DAC chip can be switched at any time.

 

[Adrien Brody]

Super hyped for the D20 - looks like the perfect balanced DAC to pair with my A20 amp. Any chance it includes Bluetooth with LDAC/aptX HD support? Eager to hear more details?

Bluetooth supports LDAC/aptX HD.

 

[Adrien Brody]

If the remote is shared with the T20, how can I select which unit it controls if I want to use both devices? Will it be the same remote but with specific codes for each unit?

You can switch to the corresponding device for operation using the toggle button on the remote control.

The controls was the one thing that i was worried about but after seeing the video it look fairly intuitive. And the themes customisations looks interesting too.

Very nice

Looks like an impressive dac. Looks feature rich and many boxes checked for most wishlist items. Looks like incredible value can't wait to add to to my T20 & A20 WiiM Ultra stack
