    The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016

    @ ShenaRingo 326 thanks, that explains a lot. The dummy files are empty I think and make the whole OS unpredictable (sometimes a file will play, sometimes not). But when copying files instead of folders this all goes away.

    I received my dx50 friday morning in The Netherlands after it was shiped wedsnesday evening HK time. I paid no additional fees upon delivery. Saw some remarks on additional customs fees, but no issues.   I had a lot of issues getting to work it properly. When copying files dummy files were...

    The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016

    Mine just completely froze up just now, can't even shut it down.   Update: I contacted ibasso and got a reply right away. If you hold the power button for 7 seconds it will reset. This also got rid of the strange/inconsistent behaviour earlier. Smooth interface now. Sound is on the bright...

    The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016

    Just received my dx50 today (first batch). Looks and feels good. If I can get it to work properly I will be comparing it with my cuurent set-up (ipod nano + ibasso PB2). ButI 'm having a lot of trouble to get it working consistently. I'm playing alac and flac files. The file is playing but no...

    Stereo in per speaker? Not exactly, you have inputs for one channel balanced/unbalanced. The speakers are connected by inputting the L/R channels in one speaker and using the output to connect 1 channel to the other speaker

    Reply to review by 'armeko' on item 'AKG K 450 Premium Foldable Headphone'

    @ PanamaHat I A/B them just now and the AKG 450 is for me all in all a better sounding headphone than the PX200II when it comes to soundstage. It sounds less confined. If you're not bothered by their sound signature they are much more enjoyable that the px200 which is more bland. btw depending...

    Please recommend a headphone for listening to solo (classical) piano

    Agree with Lord Voldemort that grado's can be great for classical. I have a 325is and listen to a lot of classical music...however I prefer to use it for smaller settings like Bach cello suites, or Michelangeli playing rachmaninov. The grado is very forward sounding. You're pressed upon every...

    Review by 'armeko' on item 'AKG K 450 Premium Foldable Headphone'

    Although having a drawer full of portable headphones there was room for one more. I got these for use during commute, replacing a sennheiser px 200 II. The form factor appeals to me and it comes with a sturdy case. Soundwise however these are very dark and even a bit muddy sounding cans. I have...

    I purchased these as part of a desktop set up. I use them to mix (logic) or listen music. Rest of the set up: iMac > usb out via M2tech hiface II > metrum acoustics > adam a5x. Beware, I don't have any other experience with monitors in this setting.   The a5x are positioned in the middle...

    Metrum Acoustics Octave

    Just visited metrum during the x-fi show last weekend. They were showcasing the hex... and using there own, to be released pre amp, power amps and speakers. Had a short chat about the hex and its price. Besides the increase in the number of inputs, better parts are said to be used. Still though...

    Dutch Meet

    yes, I was there. Not much dedicated heaphone gear though. I checked out the sennheiser HD 800 and hifiman 500 and 6. Unfortunately the whole stax, burson and schiit range was not connected to a source. Just for looking.....
