It might also depend on the order in which the files were copied to the player/card. I've seen such behaviour on different devices, which simply can't handle the files according to their file names or tags, but instead just read contents of a directory in order. This may be quite random even if...

The DAC function should work just as Nicholas L summed up. So it makes DX50 to function as an external DAC (and amp) which in essence means the sound comes through it and out of the computer enabling the option to enhance the PC sound output including bypassing the integrated speakers. You...

Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus seems to be regarded as a good bang for buck desktop DAC which is said to have a decent headphone amp. Unfortunately haven't heard it myself, but have read a lot of good things about it over the years. It does have the same DA chip as DX50, but there are dedicated...

I use Bel Canto DAC 2.5 which IMHO is an excellent DAC (and pre amp). Highly recommended.

Thanks for a great post. Is that schematic for the LDIII circuit board v1 or v2?

Thanks! I just updated to 1.2.1 a minute before you posted this...    And just to clearify, are the selections simply verified in settings screen by sliding from locked to unlocked, which reboots the player? Do you have a site where you keep the latest version and some log of changes? This...

Hey guys, did you do the upgrade by the book, ie do a factory reset after the update and remove the update from your device? I believe this is required before the developer/manufacturer will take any error reports into account, be it an iBasso DX50 FW or any other new HW or SW iteration to a...

The link on the "Download" seems to be the one for the line below which is what the name of the file would suggest "DX90 USB-DAC driver for 32bit WinXP and Win7, May 17th, 2014". So I'd go for the one on the "DX50&DX90 USB-DAC driver for Windows OS, Jun 21st, 2014" link. The 1.50 FW seems to be...

Nope, sadly it's still missing. I'm using playback by folder for this same reason. I hope iBasso will take this into account with the next FW since sorting/listing by album artist is quite basic functionality with DAPs or actually with any digital player.

About the new connectors/plugs/jacks. I'd go for the most compact design in black with the 3.5mm as they are mostly used on small devices and are mostly too big. For 6.3mm I'd also prefer black or black with carbon. Black is always stylish and it fits with any other color. I'm still waiting for...

Quote: Go on, just order the SW, it really works wth HE-500s. 

Quote: I ended up ordering Silver Widow for my HE-500 after having a conversation with Frank over email and listening to his thoughts regarding his cables in correlation with my preferences for the sound. SW is definitely not too bright and it does provide quite fine detail in the lower end...

Quote: The Silver Widow is a silver cable with some gold in it, right?

Quote: Yep, it works already pretty flawlessly. It just seems to hide nothing and just gives a very detailed image throughout the frequency range, even the lowest notes do come out really naturally. Some might think it's too detailed, but it's far from the "stereotypical" harsh silver...

Quote:   I just received my SWs for HE-500 a few days ago and they do work extremely well together already although there's not too many hours burn-in in them. You had your doubts when I ordered these for my HiFiMans, but luckily that seems to be a really goo match. Well, maybe it's not...

Quote: You could also PM or email Frank and ask him. He can't comment on his cables' tonal qualities in here, but he can recommend them to you based on your preferences. That's how I made my decision before ordering the cable. And of course I first read all the 187 pages this thread then...

Finally received the shipment of the year (well so far anyway).        The cable (Silver Widow for HE-500) looks awesome. Thanks Frank!! Had to dig some of the smaller tools from the garage to get that one loosened mini bolt from the splitter back tightened properly. Nice bolts...

Quote:  Thanks. Gotta be careful once the Widow arrives.

Quote: I can see mine in there or maybe it's just outside the picture.  Finally going to get my first dose of Toxic Cables.

Blue Widow (blue is the color commonly used with hybrids at least in car business).     or Double Widow

Quote:   That's the good kind of memory problem you're having. I actually makes the time go faster for you.

Quote:   My order was made in 31.12.2012/1.1.2013 so mine will definitely be ready much sooner. 

I believe mine is on the same batch. Hopefully. You ordered yours around New Year, right?  

Quote: Wow! That's looking good and some R&D along the way sure doesn't hurt anyone. This was the batch for the orders made last year, right?

Quote:   Come to think of it I have to agree.
