Lol how you call your wife )!!!

I thought I'd throw in my 2c on the iBasso.
I've been travelling with an iPod, Galaxy Note 2, and then 3 with the Fiio E07k, and I really wanted a better standalone DAC. I had toyed around with my mate's Cowon and the Fiio X3 - but hands down the DX50 beats it. Bought it, and have had it since Christmas - and I could not have been any happier with it.
I use the DX50 mainly for when i commute (45 minutes each way), and when I travel (fiancee lives 4 hours flight away). Mine's the 13th batch apparently.
It's been paired up with my DT990 pro, Bose QC15, ATHM50, and my westone UM3.
The winning combo is still the DX50 and UM3. Great soundstage, warm, and that clarity! It does an okay job with the DT990, but doesn't do it for commuting. With plane rides, or even working at the cafe, the QC15 and the DX50 is just simply amazing.
I almost bought the X3 second hand off my friend, but I'm glad that I got the DX50 instead.
There are some 'buggy' issues - like audio file name.... folder structures, and even the delay you get from pushing the buttons to get it to go 'next song'. Still, it's an awesome piece of hardware, and I'm glad that my FLAC files are getting played the way they should be.
I'm waiting on a set of CIEM to come... and that may just complete my travel rig!
Here we go.. first 128GB micro SD announced. Should work in the DX50 theoretically.

Awesome! This should push down prices on 64 gb cards too.
$200 msrp will be a little hard to justify, but Im sure the prices will come down quickly. It will probably make the 128gb full size SD's come down in price too. $20 for the adapter + ~$70 (assuming a $20 price decrease) for a 128gb full sd hidden inside the silicone case sounds more reasonable in the near term, but in a couple-few months Ill definitely get a 128 mSD when the price comes down a bit.
what about this 64gigs microsd

Damn, thats cheap. I paid $45 at bestbuy with an amazon price match a month or 2 ago
Find the files on your disk and copy them to DX50 internal or microSD. Album art may be a problem as it might not be stored in the files but in the iTunes meta database
Oh, I see. I suppose it should be okay for me, as the album art doesn't really bother me all that much.
Thanks!

thanks for sharing your experience, I'm not investing on this one. any recommendations? cause I still want one of 64 gigsBe very cautious, these are not Genuine SD cards. I bought one from eBay at US$22 and indeed it was a counterfeit microSD card (of the 64GB only 4GB was accesable. The remainder of the capacity yields corrupt data) I was able to get a full refund from Paypal. Please exercise caution on these eBay sold microCD cards. YMMV
