Your battery is toast. I've had to send mine in twice now in two years to be replaced. Contact Paul at Ibasso and maybe he will do something to help you out. The problem is the only place you can get a new battery is from Ibasso. You can't buy them on the open market. Here is what I found...

Man am I having bad luck with my lightly used DX80. I am now sending it in for another bad battery with very little use. This is the second time in two years my battery has gone bad. Also, I noticed that I can no longer remove my Micro SD card from the second slot. I tried pushing on it and...

Are any of you out there having issues with your DX80 battery draining really fast when initially using it after a full charge? I've had my battery replaced once already and now I'm finding that the meter on the DX80 is showing it draining about 40-50 percent in the first hour of use. When I...

I also vote for the Lurker 1.6.0 L0 firmware. I tried the IBasso 1.6.0 first and think the Lurker firmware makes more sense. It's hard for me to tell if it sounds better as I can't really do an A/B listening test. If anything it is subtle. I do like the concept of removing services and bloat...

Just installed the Lurker 1.6.0LO - very nice! Thank you for such excellent work! Paul should use your modified firmware. A very nice improvement over stock.

Thanks for the response. I did figure it out finally. It was the 2017 Chesky Audiophile Classical Sampler disk that I downloaded and I found out that the first track had a different Album tag for some reason. I used MP3Tag to look at them all carefully. I obviously missed this the first...

Thanks for the replies. The file is currently in .WAV format as are the others. I've tried converting it to FLAC, but it still doesn't show up. I'm not sure what to change using easytag - I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. The embedded jpg art works fine and doesn't seem to be causing...

Hello everyone. I have a weird problem with my DX80 that just happened with a recent download from HDTracks which is driving me nuts. I have downloaded a Classical Sampler compilation from Chesky records which has 19 songs on it. When downloaded to the DX80 all of the tracks show up except...

I doubt you will have a problem with the battery in a new player.    My understanding is there was an initial batch of early players that had bad batteries in them.  The DX80 is an excellent player and for the money, I don't think you could do much better.  Paul and iBasso are very customer...

Yes, there is a guy in Tuscon that has been replacing batteries for people in the USA.  If you want his contact info, contact Paul at IBasso and I'm sure he will give you his contact info.  He is the guys who replaced my battery and he did an excellent job. 

I just had mine replaced.   I was also seeing fast battery drain when playing FLAC files even through an external amp on Line out.  Mine was also losing about 10% battery life per day when the unit was off.  This was probably even more indicative of a defective battery than the play time.   ...

I just had this issue myself. It was losing about 10% battery life per day when off.   It was a bad battery.    Contact Paul and if you live in the USA, there is someone who is nice enough to replace the battery if you ship it to him. He has some new batteries from Paul.   (I'm assuming it is...

Hello, I'm new to the forum but have had a DX80 for a few months.      I wanted to thank Paul for his individual and excellent service to me and others.  Nothing creates more brand loyalty than good customer service.  In my opinion, Paul sets the gold standard for this.     I had a defective...
