No, because the host (DX90) must provide the power to the device (HDD).

Beg to differ. I have done this as has others I know and it worked fine with a splitter cable (it was admittedly with a DX50 but I would think it would work with DX90)

It does not. I tried it myself.
 
iBasso might do it a better way, because the power controller inside DX90 has two inputs: for a mains adapter, and from USB. But they have shorted both and connected to USB socket only. So, when the USB controller is in host mode and must output the power for the device, its (USB socket's) power pin is connected only to the power controller's output.
 
If iBasso had made a separate charging input, it would be much better. It was a matter of one more hole and a socket.
 
Well, there is a chance that it is possible to switch the way the current goes in USB OTG mode programmatically, but it is either not implemented, or just has no a user interface control. Both mean - no way.
 
So, I don't know for DX50, but for DX90 is does not work. More over, being USB host, DX90 outputs more than 5V, meaning, with a simple splitter cable and external power source with exactly or less than 5V, DX90 continues discharging! That's why I ended up with a USB OTG hub with external power supply, which does not consume from the host at all!

Did anybody manage to make the dx90 digest .cue files for single file WAVs that contain the entire disc? Those that I produc with XLD on OSX when ripping are not read by the dx90. I cannot use single files for a disc because the dx90 would not split the tracks on the playback.
 
I am looking for some help please.
Thanks.

It's a bit early and I can't vouch for any of these just yet, but for anyone out there looking for hard to find makes of the SG3 batteries, here is a link to a seller I bought 6 of on eBay. They're all manufacturer refurbs, but they look like plain old used to me. Will be spending the weekends to find out just how good they are. 
 
Got 6 "Manufactured by Youngbo" batteries from this seller for 45 bucks, international shipping included. Sweet deal considering that they're cell from Japan/made in China.

Not vouching, but if you're gonna buy batteries from eBay, I'd say your chances of buying fake are as good as any. So might as well. 
 
PS: Be specific when ordering. 4 different manufacturers here so you can get any at random unless you ask specifically for made in Korea or Japan.

Ya, at the price it doesn't really matter imo.

Guys, my dx90 got some weird horizontal lines on the screen (in the volume number section). It just appeared 2 days ago and i have no idea how to deal with it. I have been using it for 6 months and before this, the unit was flawless. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there any solution besides sending it to ibasso?

Have you tried powering on and off, removing the battery, going back and forth in the menus?

There is sometimes something that I'd call ghosting, but it's not that much visible and disappears after reboot or going back and forth in the menus multiple times.

yes i did all of those. I even did a factory reset but it still didn't go away. I think it may be the moisture that got into the screen.

For me is vertical right side of the screen happen sometimes. Will be gone after a reboot for me.

I have noticed some very faint lines on mine too, but have to view it in a very dim room.

I went back to 2.1.8 and it's still there. This is screen problem, not the firmware. Maybe this is quality control issue.

The DX90 is covered by the 1 year warranty. Can you send it to the seller? They cover warranty issues. If not then you would need to send it back to us. For address and return information please use service@ibasso.com. In the subject line you would put warranty service needed. But first please try the seller you purchased it from.

No matter what battery I use, I seem to be getting around 5 hours off a charge playing 16 bit, 44.1 flac files. Is this normal? Low gain around 200 volume.
