Has anybody managed to make the DX90 work as a DAC on Windows 8.1 ? With windows 7 I can see the DX90 as a playback selection but not in Windows 8.1 . It does see in the device manager a Mango Device was Mango USB interface...

I have Windows 7 but I don't see the Mango as a playback device.

I haven't got my O2 or my DX90 to work off my Windows 8.1!

Right, so not only does it not work on OS X but neither does it or Windows 8.1 or 8 from the looks of it. GRRRRRRRR Cayen N6 is looking more and more tempting by the day if it was not for the size and the fact that I do like the sound signature.

It works on win8.1 but it is not simple to get it to work and there are problems with audio sync if used with video. There are complete instructions somewhere in either this or the other DX90 thread.

My DX90 was working as DAC under Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. However, I saw at least one BSOD

I don't care for video, tidal is only thing I need it to work for... can't seem to be able to find the instruction on this thread though at 800 pages.... fat chance

The sequence to make things work is:
1) Download the USB-DAC driver from ibasso.com
2) Install the driver (can be omitted, but I did install the driver first)
3) Unrar\unzip the contents of the driver archive in a separate folder
4) Turn the DX 90 on, go to Settings->USB settings-> set the "DAC" mode
5) Open your Control panel->Device manager
6) Connect DX 90 usb cable to your PC (USE USB 2.0, USB 3.0 IS NOT RECOMMENDED DUE TO DX90'S CONFORMANCE WITH USB SPECIFICATIONS ISSUES). After the DAP displays "DAC mode" on the screen you should see a new "Mango" device in the list of your audio devices in device manager.
BE WARNED! Mango device is displayed in the list just for a few seconds, then it disappears. So before the Mango device disappers from the list you need to select it and select "Update driver", select manual search for a driver directory and specify the folder you've previously unzipped the USB driver archive to.
After the driver is installed you should see the Mango device in the list of Playback devices and can enjoy DX 90 working in a DAC mode...with all the lags and sporadic reboots)

Hm done it god knows how many times, the Mango shows as a usb interface on the device manager but not in the sound and video game controllers...

Right you are! No pain - no gain!
 
P.S. No, I don't need video playback. I bought the DX90 as one of the best DAPs on the market. There are enough gadgets that can play video files.

I got it to install as a sound device but selecting it blue screens with an error about mango_ad.sys . I love the sound but really the drivers/software is quite PITA

Hi guys,

I'm using a 64gb class 10 microsd card with default cluster size ( does it matter ? )

Was on DX90FirmwareV2.1.8-L0.zip but there is random skipping ( more frequent )
Downgraded to DX90FirmwareV2.1.5-L2.zip ( skip only once - seems to improve )

After firmware upgrade, I will factory reset.

Pls advise if there's anything that I done wrong. I have not used any stock FW yet.

Thanks.

The card is best formatted to MS-DOS fat. I format all my cards to this and have no problem.
