  It just had a more open sound to me.....

I have more or less the same opinion. More balanced.

I flashed it back to 2.15....more volume, less congested sounding......awesome, thanks for the info.....man am I glad I went back. This suits my taste better. Its very cool you can do that, I thought all firmware was flash ahead no going back.....

i also like a lot the ability to switch back and forth between various FWs - i also just switched back to 2.1.8 (from 2.2.0) cause i thought that 2.2.0 started to sound 'plastic' ?

anyway , this is probably just mind games , but i like 2.1.8 so i will lay here for a while

 
i don't remember my impressions with 2.1.5 , but will probably get back to it sometime soon
 
2.3.0 though is going to the recucle bin,it is the only one i found bad right out of the box

 

[screwdriver]

ok I just tried firmware 2.20 , 2.1.5 , and 2.3.0
my gear is ibasso dx90 , zycable mini-mini , aune B1 headphone amp and dunu titan 1
 
it goes like 2.3.0 > 2.2.0 > 2.1.5
 
I like 2.3.0 the best

2.3 is the latest but the best is up to you. My 90 is relatively new and came with 2.15 which I loved the sound of. My inner geek whispered "upgrade to 2.3" enough that I did and it was ok but I kept thinking it just didn't sound as open or free sounding to me as 2.15 so I found out here I could flash back which I didn't think was a  thing  easily done. I'm leaving it at 2.15 unless its super glitchy in the long run-it runs fine for me by the way, 2.3 was glitchier for me.
With all things music your ears determine the best in the long run I think or rather know at 57 and way to old.

Gee wizz...

All this FW malarky! Thankfully I've had mine a few weeks now and no problems at all....yet. Soundwise its the analogue sounding 2.0.0 all the way...everything else is flat and screechy.

 

[proedros]

I had installed and settled on 2.2.0 but decided to shuffle the cards a bit and put back 2.1.8 , which i also like (paired with a K3003)

I will probably try out also 2.1.5. later on - besides the 2.3.0. which i hated , i remember all other FWs sounding nice with my K3003s

I think it's nice having that many different-sounding FWs to choose from , it keeps things spicy and far from boring

What I did was spend around 3 days over a few hour session juggling through most of the above firmwares mentioned when my 1Plus2 arrived, until I got the firmware and tip selection right. After settling on v2.20 I leave everything alone. And my DX90 always stays with my 1Plus2 as a complete rig rarely used with any other gear.

 

[eclein]

I've always been a latest and greatest kinda guy but I really felt like I was missing something so I went back. I've never heard any of the other firmwares so I'm not sure if I'd like them or not.

I have found my favorite all time iem... My new DN 1000 from DUNU are something else, I love them!

 

[cheeseeater]

 i cannot stand it.  I have spent so many years trying to find a good portable music device and I think I"ve finally found it with the dx90 and I spend a lot of money and hours and hours downloading the playlists and the playlists are not &$@$((#* recognized. Please.  Someone tell me that I've done something wrong at please tell me that this WORKS.  I love the sound of the dx90 but if i have to choose and play one track at a time it is a pile of sh*#5t.

 

[cheeseeater]

years ago I bought the fiio x3  and at that time i loved the sound, but I could not use my playlists. I don't care how great the sound quality, if you have to choose one track at a time and can't use playlists then that player should be cast into the pits of hell.

 

[cheeseeater]

it's been at least 10 hours. I've spent over 10 hours going through the whole processs of updating and downloading with my dx90.  And i really like the sound, the sound is TERRIFIC.  But since tha last post I made, less than an hour ago, I was once able to play one song from one playlist at a time.  Now I am only able to play one playlist, from the 5 playlists I installed. I do playlists the same way on my HTC M8 and I have no trouble.  They sound like crap but at least the song is there. It doesn't matter how great it sounds if you can't listen to it.  Duh.

 

[cheeseeater]

I would love for someone to tell me that I've been an idiot and that I haven't followed the intstructions correctly.  Please. And I will apologize profusely and sing the praises of ibasso dx90.  I've already been speaking about how great they sound.

I am not sure what you are doing with playlists and downloading. My playlists are just setup in the player itself, play a song and add it to the playlist. Making sure settings are correct so it loops through all of them and that's it. There is no making a playlist with software and using that by syncing it to the DX90, if that's what you are trying to do.
