I turned the "gapless" feature on, and I don't see such issues now. All my tracks seem to start from the very beginning.

  Wow. That's strange. I use 300 Ohm Sennheiser HD-580, and the maximum volume level I ever set was about 215-220 (also high gain). Higher levels lead to physical pain.

  Feel free to use it as you wish.

Hi,   Here's another wallpaper: "Cast Iron":  

  Thanks a lot for the detailed review. I read it carefully, then made an order, and now I'm a happy owner of PMX95's. They sound exactly as I expected; these headphones are a good outdoor/office addition to my HD580's, which I use at home.

  I think, nothing.   I'm very happy using DX50 with my 300 Ohm Sennheiser HD-580. Moreover, most likely you won't hear hiss, because high impedance headphones aren't over sensitive (opposite to many IEMs).

  I do recommend the TagScanner (home page: http://www.xdlab.ru/en/index.htm). That's the best tag/file name manipulating SW I ever saw.

  Here you are.

  That's a bit better. More contrast + accent to the album cover.

  I guess, we can just cut a "proper" (metallic) wallpaper out from the iBasso's background image used on their web-site (http://ibasso.com/en/images/body_bg.jpg)   Something like that:

Hi, just one thought regarding perception of DX50 by the audience.   On the one hand, people discuss changes of SQ in different FW, and call those changes "huge", and make decisions either to "move to the next FW" or to "stay with the previous one". On the other hand, the same people claim...

Yeah, that's what I said earlier. Somebody in iBasso is making a mistake: either the support guy, or the programmer, or the design doc author, or the product architect. The entire picture they all provide is inconsistant and confusing. (and there's no need to explain me how subtractive EQs...

Here's their answer: "You can adjust the EQ for +/-6dB now. It is more than enough for a hifi player. We dont plan to have a larger adjustment." To me, it's hard to misunderstand it. :-)

The reference is an e-mail from iBasso I received in response to my question regarding EQ.

  If they really do, then iBasso made a mistake in the EQ implementation, because they explicitly claimed the EQ range is 12 dB.   If the volume and the EQ steps are the same, then the EQ range is just about 6 dB. This explains why some people tell it's not enough for them.   I guess, the...
