The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016
Sep 26, 2013 at 9:14 AM Post #2,747 of 18,652
I've joined the club and so far I'm liking it. There a number of firmware issues: freezing, random volume dropouts, and one massive, sudden rise, and a few minor accessories.

However, it is so easy to use even in comparison to the DX100. I would consider it the nicest audiophile player I've tried in many ways.


Congratz! 1.1.6 seems to have solved a lot of the initial issues and hope they will continue to improve the firmware.

DHL and EMS I think. Maybe Fedex, but I haven;t heard that on this thread yet. 

 
thanks for that. iBasso just confirmed its DHL. sweet! That means I'll get it next week if 4th batch ships tomorrow!

It's certainly a good starting point for the new comers :)

If this follows any normal curves, the benefits are soon to drop lmao. :D

Mind you once stability is out of the way, functionality is what we wanna see improving. :wink:

Edit: bell curve that is; ding-dong

How does it compare to the Fiio X3 soundwise? :p

I've not been enjoying long enough to tell you how it compares. So far very good. Ms thank you for the complement. The SA7 review should be out soon. Very much enjoy it.

 
Looking forward to what you think about the DX50 vs the X3. Been reading you reviews for a while now :D
I personally though that sound wise, the DX50 is simply better.

  No problem, I think, as i said earlier in the thread...that iBasso hit it out of the park with this. They've given everyone the opportunity to listen to high SQ music!

 
+1
110% 
If it wasn't for this product I would not presently be able to have the opportunity to hear music at this level of quality with my budget :D

Just FYI for USA Headfi'ers. I went to Micro Center and purchased "USB OTG micro USB Male to USB A female" cable and a PNY 128Gb USB thumb drive for around $70. Presto, along with my 64Gb micro SD card I now have 192 Gb total storage. A good start! The thumb drive is now basically full, no problems playing hi-res files...
 
Now I need an internal battery powered Hard drive (1Tb) or 2.5 inch hard drive internal battery enclosure (for a loose drive) and I will be able to carry around all my hi rez files...
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.  I need to do that as well.  I just bought a PNY128GB from Officemax for $50 as well.  How much did Micro Center charged you for the OTG cable?

I did the first part you mentioned by getting the OTG but did not buy the high capacity USB thumb drive yet. For the external powered 2tb drive, there has to be some but if you have an external USB enclosure with a 2TB internal hard drive, that should work. I have a few I purchased and plugged a 2TB drive to them for backup purposes, when emptied those will be large capacity drives for home use :)

You can get one on eBay for 2.49$ free shipping, dirt cheap and pretty sturdy!
