Thanks all for the comments and info. I had switched to the FiiO BTR3 I had as a fallback DAC solution for when I am at my PC all day and wanted to have the DAC connected all the time (and not run out of juice half way through the day) Looks like I might have to invest in a proper desktop...

Thanks for the reply mate. If I use a USB C to USB C cable from a USB3.1 Type C port from my PC to the DX160 do you know if will charge and also transmit data to work as a USB DAC?

Hi all, had the DX160 for over 6 months and it has been great. One thing I have been doing recently is running it connect to the PC and using it as a USB DAC connected using the USB-A to USB C cable. But I have been finding that although it is saying it is charging, the battery continues to...

Has anyone paired the DX with the Hifiman HE400i or 4xx? Does it drive it well and reproduce sound well?

I wouldn’t know what to do with the DX160 without Headfi. The awesome lurker firmware, how to get play store, which android bit perfect app to use...

Thanks so much!!

I bought UAPP recently and enjoying it a lot. 2 questions specific to DX160: - do I need to run the lurker USB audio app to enable usb DAC use on UAPP or does it work natively now? - does UAPP support displaying lyrics in .lrc files?

Lurker - thanks for your reply and really appreciate your firmware upgrade. Just learning the ins and outs of this fantastic DAP. Lots to learn and enjoy with it. I bought UAPP recently and it works great with the firmware and the DX160.

Thanks for the reply. What is the recommended use case for running USB App for the direct DAC play for when it is plugged into power then? When it is plugged in with power to avoid excessive battery drain? Should I be leaving the DX160 plugged into power when I am using it at my desk or is that...

I think maybe 3-4 hours. It is not continuous use but over the course of the day... Thanks for the tip - I will try turning google play services back on and try it out.

Hi all - another question about battery life. I am getting quite awful battery life with the following - I probably get a few hours with this setting. Firmware: Lurker Settings: Airplane mode, Google services off, Battery Saver Running Apps: USB Audio app, Hiby music app (using USB DAC) Audio...

Does anyone use mango mode exclusively? What are the advantages?

Hi guys, I just got my DX160 and I love the upgraded sound I get over just plugging into a laptop. New world. I installed Lurker and also Syncthing to wirelessly sync all my lossless music whenever there are updates on my NAS. Just a couple of n00b questions: - What is Mango Mode and why should...

Sorry for another 2 n00b questions on this forum but is there any micro sd card size limitations on the IBasso? Is there a recommended speed and size? My flac collection is growing so I figured 512 might be the right size. Also, are we able to offline download songs from tidal and spotify onto...

Thanks for the advice! I think I will invest in 4.4 cables and get the 44 -> 3.5 adaptor for flexibility.
