So I keep eyeing this up. Very tempted. I am however concerned that my Klipsch Image x10's aren't really good enough to do one of these justice (no real concerns over the Mr Speakers Mad Dogs though). Would I need to upgrade my in ears to really benefit from one of these?

The DX100 doesn't need high-end headphones - It'll make whatever you have sound it's best 

 
I've been listening almost exclusively to the (relatively) reasonably priced Beyer DT770AE this week and it sounds great from the DX100.

With the reports about changes in SQ between different firmwares, I am really curious as to how that is possible considering what was being fixed.
I'd like to know why iBasso would go anywhere near the sound when fixing the previous bugs....are "we" sure its not just placebo?
 
I'm on 1.2.7 currently and will upgrade over the weekend and see whether I can hear these differences....

Check out the 1.2.3 FW - They botched the calls to the ESS chip on that one so especially the bass got all muddy and boomy.

• Playlists that you created outside of the DX100 (for instance on Mediamonkey) are still reversed on the DX100, even with 1.3.7. You can remedy this temporarily by creating reversed playlists on Mediamonkey (put all the songs in the playlist in the "now playing" window and then do "edit" and "reversed list" and then paste back in you playlist
• If you edit you playlist manually, you can simplify them : all folders on the DX100 flash can be put as "\folder name" and all folders on the sd card can be put as "\sd card\folder name". You can erase all driver names
• Sometimes some playlists will not appear. I found one of the possible reasons: if a playlists STARTS with tracks that are located on the sd card, and that you place this playlist on the root of the DX100's flash, it won't be recognized. Therefore placing all playlists on the root of the sdcard usually works

The random stoppage is fixed. 1.3.7 is definitely better than 1.3.5 in functionality. But in SQ some prefer 1.2.7. and I can't hear difference between 1.3.5 and 1.3.7.

Launch the one track, then go back to the player, and you will see a button CUE on the screen. Hit it, and you will get a roll-down menu with the different tracks.

Hello guys,
 
Since I have spent a lot of time making playlists work on the DX100 (since I always use playlists, I absolutely need them to work), here are a few things I noticed that could be useful to some:
 

• Playlists that you created outside of the DX100 (for instance on Mediamonkey) are still reversed on the DX100, even with 1.3.7. You can remedy this temporarily by creating reversed playlists on Mediamonkey (put all the songs in the playlist in the "now playing" window and then do "edit" and "reversed list" and then paste back in you playlist

Let me know if this is unclear.

I might try to roll back to 1.2.7, as the sound is a little muddy to me.

Let us know when you do... Personally, I can't say I feel much if any difference 1.2.7 and wonder if there is some placebo effect. For me, I'm so happy to have the stop play fixed and the playlist order at least in album track order (last added album or track appears first still...doh), that maybe I'm just feeling this is the best FW so far. If those things never bothered you then maybe you see little value in the changes and just have an affiliation to the first one you felt right. I liked 1.2.7 but that's what came on my DX so never had to wrangle with earlier versions.

In any case I am going to use the installer tool now I am happy with the FW to load 1.3.7 so I am truly starting with a fresh unit.

Just thinking though, I wonder if the production run and hours played are having an impact on people's perceptions. Anyone A/B'd different runs and FWs?
