Tell me, when is best firmware for dx50? I think best of best qualitty music sound?
genre music: electronic - bass music

For electronic music probably DOCs firmware. The DX50's greatest weakness is the bass response IMO and some of his firmwares address that. I am currently dual booting the most current stock firmware with Rockbox. Rockbox is the best overall firmware (again, in my opinion).

I want to upgrade to 1.9.4 but the DX50 is boot loop in the update procedure. I have checked the FAQ and follow the below instruction but I cannot boot into the recovery menu. My DX50 is still boot loop in the update. Can anyone help? Thanks.
 
If the DX50 fails to boot up normally, perform a factory reset from the recovery menu (Click to hide)
Power off the DX50
Press the "Volume up" button just before pressing the "Power" button and then HOLD THEM SIMULTANEOUSLY
The DX50 will now boot into the recovery menu. Use the volume buttons to navigate the menu up/down and select "Factory reset". Use the power button to confirm your choice.

If you are having problems with the FW update you can use the link on the first page of the DX80 thread for the Batch Tool. It requires a Windows based system. It does a clean install of the FW and the instructions are in the download.

Paul, any update on whether the (very awkward 2-speed) scrolling will be improved at some point? Also, I think a while back, some changes to the interface (like a '13/14'-style track number indication, etc.) was in the works.. is that still happening?

Do you mean track 13 or 14? I am not sure what you mean by 2 speed scrolling.

I THINK that he meant indciation on display of "current track" (13 in his example) out of "total tracks" (14 in his example), which is something I'd personally like to see too. 2-speed scrolling I'm uncertain about, too, as it's been a while since I used my DX50 (other DAPS, including DX90 and DX80, hogging my time, lol).

As user Geagle correctly guessed, I meant showing the track number of the currently playing track. As an example, track 13 on a 14-track album would show a small "13/14" on the screen. Sorry I hadn't clarified the example. A comment many months ago had hinted that the screen display was being reworked and that this might be included, so I was seeing if that was the case.
 
'2-speed scrolling' is just what I'm calling the DX50's bizarre scrolling ballistics, which only has two scroll speeds rather than a continuum*. When literally any other device scrolls through a list, it starts at the speed of the initial finger flick, gradually slowing and eventually stopping. The DX50, however, scrolls for a (seemingly) arbitrary amount of time at a fixed (fast) speed, then lurches to a slow speed, then stops. The slow speed/stop sequence is about a second at the most, so most of the scrolling is at a constant, non-decelerating maximum speed, which is very hard to read. Flicking slowly enough to trigger the slow speed is useless, because the slow speed never lasts more than a second. Try it. It's weird.
 
* I realize that from a programming perspective it's not a continuum, but all other touch-screen devices I've used--even very old, very underpowered ones--have enough speed steps (8? 12? 20?) to create the illusion of inertia, and give the user the ability to scroll at whatever speed they want based on how quickly they flick up or down in the list. 2 speed steps are not enough, and it makes me dread the normally-enjoyable process of browsing my album list for something nice to listen to.
