Is anyone else struggling to get the ibasso site open?

Im trying to order the dx50 but the site has been down for about a day now.

Anyone?

  I don't hear any hissing sound with any of my iems even at loud volumes if I'm not playing any tracks. Only his I hear if the track itself has hiss in recording.

Good news for hiss haters!!

So how will this pair with Westone 4R's. Will I need an amp and if so which would be the right pairing? I just received my W4R's and looking forward to feeding them properly. I think I read the Pico Slim is a good pairing, I was also interested in the new Leck UHA760, as I have my old HD580 that I like to listen to when my wife is not home due to their openess.
 
Currently my DAP's are my 2nd gen 32gbTouch, 3rd gen 8gb Nano, RB Clip Zip w/class10 32gb, and finally my Note2 . I would like to carry One DAP, obviously my phone will always be with me, as a backup DAP. My amps are the FiiO 5,6 and iBasso D-Zero.
 
So far I am liking this Player, I just want to make sure whatever I get will bring out the best of the W4R's.
 
Thanks, Jeff.

Can any ipod 5th gen owner tell me how the dx50 compares to it in terms of SQ?
I have a 5th gen rockboxed one + Alo RX amp.......
 
Shall I upgrade.......?

 
Thanks

I tried the m8 with my 8.A. And my friend tried with his tg334. Both have hiss

Pairing with Westone 4R is great!

I ordered the otg usb cable and 128gb flash drive.  32gb is too little.

RSA sound is warm sound zig , RSA + Shure SE 846 has not so good synergy .
With alo international plus Shure SE 846 are very good synergy
Vorzuge Duo power wise is Not so big to drive Shure se 846 to excellent SQ
Alo Rx 3 B has hiss with all shure iems
Maybe alo Rx 3 B+ is better , I am the demo unit next week

IMO

O thanks Rudi!! Besides International, what other amp would you recommend to pair with 846? Many thanks!!

There might be difference in mastering between the 24 vs 16 files. But converting the 24 bit to 16 would result in exactly the same sound (I think).
I mean, I would be very interested to see a (double) blind test, where it would be proven that there is an audible difference. 

 
This is what I love about Acoustic Sounds. They disclose what the source was, and who did the mastering, and you don't have loudness garbage. If I get a file in 24-bit from them, then I leave it as such if I can. Basically because you might not be able to hear the difference between 16-bit and 24-bit (and more importantly with higher sampling rates) if the files are created with proper equipment, as much as I love dBpoweramp for conversions, my computer is not professional equipment, and I have done ABX testing with MP3 files created from 24-bit on sources on my own computer, and I can (sometimes) tell the difference. 
 
That's important, I think, to remember. All of the sciencey discussion, which is correct, assumes good equipment is being used with proper dithering and filters. My computer is not that level of equipment. So if I get a copy from somewhere I trust to master properly, and that is 24-bit, I am going to leave it in 24-bit if I can. 
 
A great example of what mastering can do, I have heard several different versions of Ella and Louis, and the best version that I have heard is from Quality Record Pressings on 200-gram vinyl. That isn't because vinyl is inherently better, it's because QRP does a better job mastering.

I have a 5 gen but it's an imod with special caps. I checked it up again yesterday and today, the iPod is definitively competing nicely with the DX50. If I was going for a major move, sound wise, I would not go because of the DX50 being superior than the imod, being rockboxed makes it a harder decision. I paid for it so to me might as well use it.

An ambitious man!

Anyone else order the dx50 from mp4nation? Any issues? What batch did they ship?

 

[rookie2009]

My dx50 is on route and should be here tomorrow guys,im just ordering up the cables i need.. I was to have my 2.5inch hard drive for use at home,im just wondering is the usb port on the dx50 the typical android port as you see on the nexus 4 etc? My 2.5 hard drive has a mini usb on it so i guess i would just need a low profile mini to micro usb cable?
 
cheers
