I am no jazz connoisseur at all and, much like the OP, am trying to develop a taste for it with easy to listen to yet proper jazz records. I have come across a few albums recently that I really enjoy listening as such. This one particularly hasn’t been mentioned in the thread : Allen Toussaint...

I'd like to chime in and add, too, that microcuts are now a thing of the past since I formated my sd card using FAT32 instead of exFAT.   Those microcuts had become a real PITA since I'd gotten a new 128 GB sd card (good quality genuine Samsung).   Since Windows 7 didn't allow me to format...

  Yes, it does. All Rockbox DSP processing goes through the digital out.

Merci for the suggestion to try out themes. Yes actually I do like to fiddle around with my devices. First thing I did with my DX50 the day I received it was test all third party firmwares. Anyway following your suggestion I started browsing around the various themes, and I see lots of...

Thanks for the good information. I understand a bit more how it all comes together now.   This RockBox thing is a killer... man, ReplayGain, proper playlist management, parametric equalizer, heck even a good sounding compressor for late night listening on the stereo or for using in the car  ...

Hi there,   I'm testing Rockbox on my DX50 for the first time tonight. I'm very impressed so far with all the available settings but find it hard to navigate through the menus because the overly sensitive touchscreen acts almost neurotic with my big paws.   I would like to know what's the...

Hey guys,   Just a quick follow up to my previous messages from weeks ago regarding firmwares. A day after my last message (then becoming doubtful of my own hearing), I was listening to an album on NDFFF and after a couple of songs I came to feel "man, those treble are indeed kinda...

  The Meenova seems like a neat little device. However, for the record, there is at least one user reporting huge battery drain using it on his DX90 (see here ...

  Okay I will. I want to try out SU 1.3.3 once more anyway for sure, I feel like I must have missed something.

Yes that's what I meant and that's why I mentioned my upper hearing threshold. I'm guessing there's something either with my hearing or my headphones that makes me hear such differences from you guys. I absolutely didn't want to bash against firmwares or whatever, but I thought it might be...

  Not when testing the various firmwares, as the whole point to me was to test the headphones out alone.

Well I said I was gonna test various firmwares and I did. What's surprising is that I don't really come to the same conclusions as most of you guys.   So I tried Doc2008's New Favorite Firmware Final, New Favorite Firmware Megabass Edition and New Favorite Firmware Surround Edition Final. I...

I didn't try it long enough to notice...

  Yes I was replying to the second part of Dragonsan16's question : "i wonder does DX50 work with this dual usb drive?" which as I understood was to connect directly to the DX50.

  Why don't you use maximum compression while encoding to FLAC ? It is a lossless format, you won't lose anything in terms of sound quality. Flac compression 0 or compression 8 both produce the exact same result once decoded and only differ in encoding time, cpu usage and of course resulting...
