Well thank god we have a forum and we don't just have to rely on iBasso for support.    Anyway, I managed to get it working. I went into browse directory, selected the player and then selected USB OTG. I have reverted back to stock firmware for now but going to try Rockbox soon.

It's 1.2.8 MOD V1 from the firmware page at the start of the thread.

Yes, I know . The player is on, but instead of going into USB mode it just stays in player mode. I can also see the battery icon change to charging so the cable is definitely connected.

I've bought a DX50 and loaded one of the custom firmwares last night and now I can't get USB mode! When I plug in the USB cable, the player charges ok but I can't transfer any music now. Prior to updating the firmware, I was able to transfer fine so the cable and laptop are not the issue.  ...

As it stands today, this is what I believe to be working. Please correct me if I'm wrong.     HDD SSD mSATA CF Rockbox* 5.5G 30GB 160GB 128GB 256GB 128GB Y 5.5G 80GB 240GB 128GB 256GB 128GB Y 6.5G 120GB 120GB x x 128GB N 7G 160GB 240GB x x 128GB...

There is a 5.5G 30GB iPod Video (late 2006). I have bought a 128GB CF and a Tarkan adapter since they are reported to work with 5.5/6/7G iPod's. I will test it with them all and see what works and what doesn't.

Starting to make sense now. 5.5G 80GB - any hd/ssd/msata/cf upgrade (with relevant adapters) 5.5G 30GB - same as above? 6.5G 120GB - only like for like upgrade 7G 160GB - only 240GB upgrade (with new back and batt)

Thanks guys, so I'll stick with the 80GB back since I want the bigger battery. A 128GB CF/ZIF adapter will cost me £102, a 128GB SSD will cost me £125. Since it is a small difference, cost aside what would you go for?

Been trying to get my head around the information that's been posted so far. I have a 5.5G 80GB, a 6G 120GB and a 7G 160GB.   From what I have read I can upgrade the 5.5G with a 128GB SuperTalent SSD. Would it be a direct replacement without any adapters? Can I fit a 30GB back instead of the...

I really want to try this amp, anyone in the UK purchased one yet?

Just read the review and I agree with the MDR-1R vs Momentum comparison. Both great headphones but the MDR-1R edged it for me. Can't comment on the others as I've no experience of them.

Great price for a very capable pair of headphones. Don't knock 'em until you've tried them! :)

They are very comfortable for long periods if your ears aren't too big. Otherwise they rest on your ears and can get a little uncomfortable... well for me at least. I would easily go couple of hours before I started fiddling with position to ease the discomfort. 

Might have to buy another pair for spare!

I got mine last night so I took them with me on my journey to work this morning. First impressions are good. Very comfortable, good sound out of the box and no jack issues mentioned by others. The MDR-1R's are slight bass heavy but this is easily cured using one of the EQ presets on my iPod...
