Just upgraded to factory FW 2.5.1
A bit off topic...I used DX90 as a source for my car audio via an analogue AUX line in. It does not sound as good.
Has anyone tried this?

I did when I was using fw 2.2.0 and 2.4.1
Sounds OK, but I need to put it in hgh gain and dx90's volume was around 220-235 and the car speaker's volume was around 20/35 to get a decent volume

should use the line out with low gain and max volume, and control the volume from the cars Stereo .

probably i should, but i'm forgetful and probably will forget to turned down the dx90 volume and will ended up blowing my ear, again :D
 
but i should use the line out since it's pre-amped and use the car's amp (if it got any).
 
 
  From what I understand the gain doesn't affect the (non amped) line out, only the amped headphone out.

 
yup it doesn't affect.

I will say that my battery life is better with the 2.5.1 L0 ultimate cleanup than it was with 2.1.5 ultimate cleanup

It's hard to directly compare sound unless I had two dx90's both running separate firmwares and hooked up to an a/b switch

But my Mdr 7550 sound great with the 2.5.1L0

  Assuming that 2.5.1 L0 sounds no different than stock 2.5.1 (which I tried and didn't like), I think I'll pass.
 
It IS hard to compare! But I finally made up my mind :)

I tried stock 2.5.1 on my modded DX90 and didn't like it, it sounds flat and veiled.. Weird

On the contrary, I love 2.5.1 L0, sounds perfect for me.
 
Glad that you like 2.1.5 L4

I have shuffled a lot through firmware versions, and I mean A LOT. Now I'm settled on 2.5.1L0 and I find it second to none. Meze 99 classics has never sounded so crushingly sweet delivering Amon Amarth.

Tried once the Meze 99 Classics, it sounds very very good for the price.
You have a pretty good combo
