The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016

Yes.  It would be a good feature if they can separate the output level setting on the firmware for LO and HO, it was suggested by some users earlier already and hope they will implement this.  Ideally it would automatically switched to the LO output setting when it detect the jack is connected, and vice versa for the HO.


That would be sweet if it was available. I assume that they can affect the feature through firmware changes, it really sounds like a simple solution, however it does mean an additional savable configuration. Ths is where I wish the firmware would be available through public domain.

What are you liking more and why, also what IEMs are you preferring a fun or analytical or. Also im sure I read it some where but do you have to make the 64 gb to fat32. Im trying to prepare for when I get mine when batch five starts to be delivered.
FAT32 thing is fiio x3 problem. DX50 works with other formats too...

Thanks, yeah I bought a 64gb for my X3 but could not format it so im just using a 32gb, I will put the 64gb in the DX50


You need to use an external program to format an exFAT card. HP and Panasonic have such programs. All 64gb and above cards are formatted in exFAT and many computers older than a year or two cannot read this format. A Google search for a program to format exFAT cards should provide you with several more options.

LOL. I know what you mean. It's human nature to complain at what's wrong and enjoy what's right silently! With all due respect to those who have had real serious problems, at least for my purposes the DX-50 has been fine with only occasional glitches. And what's good about the unit, to me, far outpoints what is not so good.

But I have the same problems at work. We have multi-hundred thousand $ broadcast audio consoles and the operators call us to look at "problems" that basically come down to "I don't want it to work this way, I want it to work that way". But it's designed to work "this" way. No matter how the manufacturer decides to implement things, folks will want it different...:xf_eek:

+1000

I was grappling with incomplete scans only to find eventually that some filenames were too long for the code in the DX50 to handle (despite them being no problem in the DX100).

Anyone who's been a major software revision at work like a SAP implementation would know most "problems" are that operators want it to work like the old system and that trying to run like legacy systems handicap some of the benefits that streamlining and eliminating redundant operations produce or should produce.

Ppl should realise that any computer is a very logical device/code. Unexpected results are not random. The same input will result in consistent errors/results. The volume thing is most likely the result in a very specific set of circumstances and thus fixable. But coding is complex and most software development is an evolutionary thing. If it were not we would not be using OSX 10.# or Windows 8 or iOS 7 etc....

The DX50 likes to have its music files to follow certain conventions and if they do they will play properly. Some are reluctant including me at first to re tag and so on to make them play properly on the 50 but in effect the more conventional the tags, the fewer problems I'll have with any device. Heck I remember when I got my first iTunes experience and the things I had to change to get albums not to be split into multiple entries because every artist resulted in a different album. And Apple still does that. IBasso fixed it in their first FW update.

My DX50 seems to be much better behaved now I'm playing its game rather than asking it to play mine...:)

This is a variable output lineout.  Still a true lineout as the signal does not pass by and is not amplified by the amp circuit.  The output is varied in the digital domain directly and would not result in any lost in SNR or any "double amping" effect unlike the AK100/120 that don't have a true lineout.
 
 
I don't find any distortion with my line out at 255 with my unit... (when paired with International, Mass Kobo 385, Kojo KM01, or RSA 71B).   Are you sure it is not due to the output level too high causing the amp to clip?   I think one key advantage of having variable lineout is to avoid such clipping.

 
Does the gain setting in DX50 affect the variable LineOut?
Is DX100 has the similar type of LineOut like DX50?

Quick comparison between DX50 & iClassic 6g
(Low gain, ER4P)

DX50 neutral to bright, iClassic neutral to warm.
DX50 has a wider sound stage, more 3d, good depth, and fuller sound than iClassic.
DX50 has more detail, smooth, good separation, good speed, good tonal, good timbre and ambience. Can perform complex music so good.
iClassic has more bass, DX50 has tighter bass.
Booth has a good impact.

One thing I noticed when paired my ER4P to DX50, I feel my ER4P has no treble "cut" as I feel on my iClassic.

Its my personal impression, sorry for bad English.

Having read some of the commernts:
 
FAT32 Format Tool
 
very small program - simplicity itself too use (windows)
Freeware

it's a good thing i sold my classic before getting the dx50 :)

I'm sure you did the right thing.

 
i was also trying to minimize the cost of me getting a dx50. sold the classic and just add a few more and i think i have a better dap! can't wait for my unit. it still says "Posting"....i wonder what that means

Was the volume button disabled in DX50 when you amped with T1? 
I mean the volume is controlled by the volume knob on your amp instead of DX50.


You still can control volume on the DX50 as well as the T1. As suggested by Sorensiim before, I put the volume knob of the T1 midway and just adjust the volume on the DX50. Never tried maxing-out the volume as my current setting of 200 is already loud ( by my standard at least :wink:
