How many of you use the EQ?

 

Is it better to have it on and flat, or off?

 

When its "on" the output (both HO and LO) is cut by 6dB, so that when an EQ band is maxed out at +6dB, the DAC doesnt clip.

So if you have it on and flat, you'll just have to turn the volume up higher. (so basically just leave it off if you're not using it)

Sent on the X5 last week, so far not missing it much, DX50 is smoother
on the ear yet detailed, and I find the UI better and I can just plug it into the 
PC and drag n drop, so very impressed so far. 

 
Can the DX50 match, or at least come close to the X5 on overall sound?

From the little I have heard so far, there is very little between them, X5 may have more detail but is also brighter, of course this all so personal, based on my ears, headphones and music. I would like another loan of the X5 as I didn't use it with an amp.

The headphone amp of the x50 is certainly louder than the X5 ( on 1.1)

That does sound very good. Now all I have to do is decide between the 50 or 90.
