I am hoping it comes out soon as we are writing the review for Audio360.org and want to publish the most current information on the dX50

Gotta say I keep getting gobsmacked with every new song that comes on. Which is pretty awesome
 
I have 1.2.2 atm. I think I wait a while before messing with it, even if iBasso releases new version.

I can understand that. I only wish that those who have had problems, had as few a problem I have had, which is almost zero. I don't know why there are some but I think it is corrupt software. It happened on one FW I did and I figured it out and it wasn't the direct problem of the DX50 but what the FW was "telling" it. I downloaded the FW again, extracted and all was fine.

A very good improvement.  O2 pairs great with the DX50 from what I listened to with the HD650.  I'm sure it'd be the same with your Westone.

I've heard people say the C5 is like the O2 and I'll be pairing the C5 with the DX50 and the Westone 4r.

I also have the O2 so we'll see. I really want to compare the DX50/C5 and the DX50/BH2, I won't have the C5 until next week though.

John ar you saying everyone who has a problem on this board has corrupt software. I  not buying into that.   Our other reviewer has a different setup than mine  and is having similar problems. It funny how we can blame the software and maybe it could be for some  an software issue, but  there are so many people having  issues on this thread  and EVEYONE software cannot be corrupt. This is also a first batch player.  I am hoping for another firmware update but we will be writing this review next week and getting it published. I need to report what I am hearing and that is why we are doing a dual review. It sound good when it works properly but it needs to work all the time properly.

Of course not. Obviously there have been some units that are defective, which is true for about anything ever made by a human. But I do think there is a software problem at times and I have experienced it. I guess I could have phrased what I wrote differently but I also think that with what is in this thread, it is obvious that both defective units have occurred as well as software.

Today suffering from scanititus, I made the mistake of switching 64gb Sandisk microSD cards and when putting the original back, no more music, genres, database stuff showing. Then I went on the internal mem through the USB and guess what; internal memory had the footprint of the previous card so it never erased the stuff that was in there. To be honest I don't know how the scanning really works but more than one card just do not seem to work that well.

The reason I am saying if it was the software in this case it would be consistent but it plays goofy at times like one day all the way through  then it will skip songs then I would play that same album all the way through and it wont skip. The artwork is missing on most albnums and not on there. Some albums ar emitting in the DX50 but are on the card. Lots of different things popping up.  I also am hearing lots of hiss  different albums. I am also using a high quality scan disc card.

I also experienced the hissing, but it went away when I switched to Hi-gain (i dont quite understand the logic, isnt it supposed to hiss more in Hi-gain?)
The sd card scan is a hit and miss, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt, and the first time I plugged in, there was no sound, needed to do a factory reset.
 
The player is exceptional when it works. But like what Frank says, it needs to work all the time or it's no good as a player.

Since updating my firmware to v1.2.2, I have had no issues at all. ( Except twice I accidentally hit the DELETE option when trying to add a tune to my playlist)
Hopefully, iBasso will add an "Are you sure" confirmation page for folks with larger fingers!

This card does NOT fit the DX50 correct?

So, to those DX50 owners who are still deciding which amp to pair with their DX50, I have just updated my review on the C5, and have just added a segment (near the bottom) - giving my opinion on the pairing, and several pictures of the DX/C5 combo for size comparisons

Anyone else trued the DX50 with the RE400s? Not a good sound, bass bleeds right into the mids and its all a mess
