I want to remove Rockbox but am having trouble.  Here is what I did:   Installed CWM Installed Rockbox form CWM recovery Installed "stock_recovery.zip" from CWM From "DX50 system recovery  <3e>" I tried to install update.img v1.5, and then after failure tried update.img v1.2.8 which also...

  OK.  The mean customer rates the DX50 as "84% of perfect."    The bottom 10th percentile rate it as "42.5% perfect."  the top 10th percentile rate it as "99% perfect."   I rate it as sounds really good.  The UI is actually quite nice.  I hope iBasso continues to refine the firmware for...

OK, I'll bite.     To my mind it would seem the amp draws the vast majority of the power used by the unit.  The DAC has to decode whatever format of bits it receives.  Are you sure that the decoder chip draws more or less amperage based on the audio source storage stream or container?   SWAG...

Yes of course, thank you.  Let's try this:   source material -> speakers -> amp -> DAC   in that order period.  :-)

Was that blind AB testing?  If it wasn't ABX it means nothing.  I would wager you couldn't identify with any statistical significance, which battery was which using a blind testing method.   Everyone sees what they want to see, hears what they want to hear,and believes what they want to...

I am using 1.2.2.     Yesterday the DX50 made that computery screech/squeal that everyone has heard at one time or another,and then went black and unresponsive.  I had to take the battery out and then it worked.   Today my coax wouldn't work right after powering up (it was playing through...

I have noticed that is the trend in UI design lately.  It is definitely the opposite of what almost everyone has used in the past.  I must say I kinda like the method of labeling the button for what happens when you activate it.  It grows on you.

Where did you get the white and grey combination hook/rubber band strap, and the round black polka dotted rubber band?

Which batch DX50? Will it be for early 70s prog rock or more for late 60s art rock? How many channels was the source recorded in before it was mixed down? Stock cables or aftermarket IEM cables? Silver interconnects or copper? and how many strands?   There is just not enough info to tell...

I searched the forum for 10 mins because I know it's in there, just couldn't find it.   When using the DB2 with the external power supply do you leave the charge switch on or off?    I am assuming if the charging switch is on you get the 14V from the battery at the amp section and the charge...

What mod did your friend make to the DB2?

  What is "IBasso Dab 2 full mod diy?"

      And that is my finished:   iBasso DX50 24-192 DAT/DAP, with coax connection to... iBasso DB2 Boomslang2, Portable Balanced 24Bit/192kHz DAC, feeding balanced line level to... iBasso PB2 Pelican, Portable Balanced Headphone Amp with Hiflight Topkit, sending balanced output to...

Done!  (except maybe better IEM cable)   Question:  Suggestions for putting the 4 parts in a stack or case or something I can carry around the house?

These micro Linux distros typically will format the file structure as part of the reset process.  This insures the file system is not corrupted, and wipes the file system clean of everything

I very much doubt it, I can almost guarantee you they are using a Buck-Boost Converter IC to get the design voltage which is probably either 5v or 12v or both.   So it doesn't really matter what voltage the battery is putting out as long as it's above the cutoff threshold for the IC, which...

Maybe I should buy one from each batch.  Since they all sound so different I could label them and then choose the right one for my IEM's and of course, as  mentioned in the review, the sound source.     If I really needed to tweak the sound I could try one of 10 different batteries, the final...

How did he receive, review, and update a website (but only after having several customers in the store listen to it) all on a unit that shipped yesterday?  Maybe I'm missing something here, but it doesn't seem likely that he is referring to a 5th batch DX50.

  How can you downgrade to a later version?  Wouldn't version 1.6 be a later version than version 1.2?

  Mine took 11 days by DHL.

11 days after receiving my DHL tracking number it is here.  It was worth the wait.   Sounds amazing with my TF10s on high gain, volume in the 180 to 210 range.  I know it's good when I hear something I have never noticed before on the first song played, when it is track that I have listened to...

  they are actually talking about 1.1.2  and 1.1.6 etc.     not sure why since it leads to confusion.

Right.  Mine is batch 4.  I paid for it on 18 Sep 2013.     Mine got to Cincinnati a few hours ago.  Maybe I will see it on Monday or Tuesday.     So, 10 or 11 days to get mine while everyone else has had theirs for a week.  We all paid the same price for shipping and mine still isn't here...

Is anyone else still waiting for their DX50 to arrive?  When I emailed iBasso yesterday they told me I would receive it in 1 or 2 days, and that DHL must have changed my tracking number.     Today I got a DHL notification that my package had just been picked up  a few hours ago.  The tracking...

How long has taken purchasers in the US to receive their DX50?  The tracking information on my DHL package has not been updated in several days.
