I was just giving some detailed listening to the DX90 after a good 10 hour burn in..
It feels like the sound had somewhat improved (but I have no quantitative measure for this obviously, so I cant be sure if it's placebo effect or not)
 
I put Yiruma's music on.. I am completely blown away..
 
It is almost as if I am sat right next to the piano and he is playing the piece for me.
The atmosphere it creates is very beautiful and delicate.
I have never had the feeling this strong towards those pieces when listening from my PC.
It is just magical.. so impressed...

AKG545, straight from DX90

 

[goodvibes]

  I agree with many of the impressions here. The DX90 has impressive detail and soundstage, but I find the X5 reproduces music a little more authentically and powers the low end better than the DX90.
 
I will be burning in the DX90 for the next 48hours straight and will re-evaluate.
 
A more detailed description of my impressions are located here as well as some other X5 vs DX90 comparisons. Sorry for the link I just did not want to spam my ramblings everywhere and just found this thread. Still getting use to the forum.

I feel just the opposite. The x5 was not nearly as realistic sounding to me on recordings I know because I was there. The recording engineer also heard both plus an AK and will be buying a DX90. The value is the best I've seen.

I was there too. Were you the guy wearing shoes?

I was only wearing boxers and suddenly I was there. The DX90 warped space/time and dropped me off and I sort of panicked.
 
Next time I'm wearing clothes...

I know some folks asked about using the 4400mAh battery with the DX50/90, so I thought I would post a few pictures.  
Of course the back cover plate won't fit but the silicon sleeve keeps the battery in place.  
Hey iBasso!  How about offering a cover plate that will fit this battery that we can purchase separately?

 

 

 

 

 

 
The last photograph is of my current "system" (until the Dunu DN-2000s show up).

  
BTW, the DN-1000 IEMs pair excellently with the DX90!
 
Cheers and Enjoy!

+1. 
 
They pair extremely well.

Wow thanks for taking the time to do this. I always wondered whether I should have gone 4400 instead of 2200.
 
It's certainly fatter than I thought it would be.

Is that DX90 pregnant?

Look carefully, it's the backside so it's constipated.

No its arse/ass just looks big in that silicone dress!

 
Too many Doritos and Twinkies...

Is the DX90 better than the AK100?

 

[lin0003]

People are saying it's better than the AK120, so it's probably better than the AK100.

Whoops, okay, thanks.
