Thanks for the info, Paul. As the wizard indicated (The back of the DX100 unscrews without fuss, and replacing the battery yourself isn't too difficult), is the DX80 design and battery replacement process identical to the DX100? Perhaps you can include in the DX80 manual and on your website...

  Sure, if you want to assume and make sweeping generalizations that all prospective buyers have upgraditis every 3 months and live in their parents' basement. Given the scaleability of the DX80 with USB, optical and coax digital output, don't be surprised that the device will see lots of use...

    Thanks Paul. Can you address my specific questions regarding DIY battery removal, sautered connections, additional costs of replacement battery, shipping, generic or proprietary battery and duration of supply agreement? Thanks   1) When the battery is approaching EOL, can DX80 owners...

    Paul, great to hear that iBasso is addressing the short playback time of the DX90, however, the lack of a user replaceable battery and user-centric design of the player is a step backwards. A number of questions:   1) When the battery is approaching EOL, can DX80 owners purchase a...

The 720p display is a letdown with today's hi-rez screens. Guess the form factor and small battery size were determining factors in the design choices. The issue I have with smartphones serving as primary audio players is they still lack dedicated RW, STOP/PLAY, FF buttons for blind control...

  Interesting note from gsmarena: We don't know if it's the curvature that caused it, but the LG G4 audio output is a step back from what the G3 offered. Good thing then that the former flagship did so well and a step back still gives you very good output.   I wonder if LG is still having...

Does the DX90 suffer from any RF interference when it's near a mobile phone? Historically, iBasso has not shielded their chips or cases.

Alright, if you get a chance just charge it up, plug in your phones and time playback time.

Quote:   So how many hours of playback time are you getting via hp out?

What are S4 owners' experiences with battery life hours--standby, LTE surfing, audio playback? How much of a battery hit is there with playing flac files loaded on internal memory vs. microSD card via hp jack, USB OTG/DAC/Amp setup?

I used the SE535 primarily for Jazz and vocals, however, they were too lush and sluggish for EDM, Hip Hop, Trance. The CK10 has been my go-to IEM for these fast, high BPM genres and as such, the SE535 sat in my drawer unused for nearly a year. Thought about selling them, but decided to give them...

Quote:   I'm digging the Omega Wallet. Checked out the Bellroy Note Sleeve and the quality and craftsmanship is good. The leather used is on the thick cowhide side and dimensions are large, so not exactly a "slim" wallet. 

Thanks for the info. Did you notice any of the dye rubbing off pant pockets in dress pants? The lighting in your pic looks yellowish so thought your Slim Sleeve was either black or brown. The inner lining in your pic looks like a mustard though on the Bellroy site, the Blue Steel's lining is a...

Quote:   Hey Scott, how's the construction, leather quality of the Slim Sleeve i.e., tight, straight stitches, smooth calfskin? What color is yours? Was thinking of going with black, but it has turquoise thread. Or may look at the Note Sleeve.
