New Head-Fier
Pros: None
Cons: No tech support, website seems non functional, cannot read SD card, cannot seem to play an individual track
I just received this device, along with a FiIO X5 to replace my now discontinued iPod classic.
 
At first I liked this device - smaller, lighter than the FiIO, although only 1 slot.
 
Shipped without any user guide, however.
 
I formatted my 128 G SD card and inserted it, connected it to my mac.
 
I used doubleTwist software (which I had successfully used with the FiIO, and let it sync overnight.
 
I came back and and the device seems to think I had no music. I plugged the USB cable back in, and the files where definitely on the card.
 
Tried factory reset, tried formatting as exFAT.
 
I went to their website - www. ibasso.com - and it is a mess. Every link leads you to their download area. 
 
I have the latest firmware v2.1
 
I emailed their support but haven't heard back.
 
So, the device can only find files on the built in storage.
 
So, as a "high end" player, this device is useless.
 
Until the hardware companies start making software at least a little better, acceptance of these products will be low.
 
The FiIO X5 was difficult enough to set up - took a while to locate the doubleTwist software. Copying files from the Mac to the DOS formats using the Finder
creates little .trackname files so that every album looks like it has two copies of each song.
 
I will try to assemble the packaging for a return.

I have the 128gb card and without any formatting, it works fine, in fact I use two of the cards, with zero problem. Individual songs are recognized as are albums. Going from one song to the next or album to album is very fast and intuitive. Seems the card may have been formatted wrong but there is plenty of information on the first page of the DX90 main thread.

No problem with my SD Card - no special formatting. Official site was in construction for some weeks and works now.
You not seem to have checked the options: library rescan is available and you can browse your files by album, title or directory.

We are available on Headfi and on Facebook as well as our service@ibasso.com and reply to email and questions. We have not had issues with reading SD cards unless the card is not formatted correctly and if there is a problem always try the factory reset under the advanced menu. Hopefully you were able to resolve this issue.
