I want to ask you guys before I make any assumptions: I use the DX80 to output coaxial output to my Hugo. I'm running 1.1.4. and whenever I play WAV files (which are 24 bit/192Khz or less) which are said to be supported on the iBasso website for the DX80, my DX80 freezes. Only way to get out of...

DX200... finally a TOTL that I have been expecting for a while. https://polldaddy.com/poll/9236286/ Vote for the design. I heard that it will have replaceable amp modules and it is scheduled to come out in May although delays may happen.

I find the HD650 to be quite fatiguing for FPS so I stick with my HD598s for gaming although I would like to try out one of the open-backed Audio-Technicas someday...

I'm sure you might know already but MMCX connectors are known for going bad and disconnecting after a period of use. I think MMCX connectors should not be used at all. I prefer 2 pin connectors.

Can't you get it directly from them? Or the Lotoo PAW5000 is an alternative for a player with optical out. Also, if you're looking for coaxial output, FiiO players could work.

$399... 'Nuff Said.

I may be wrong but that's what started happening to me before the cable inside the headband disconnected completely. For me, that's how it all began and as time passed, it kept happening more frequently and more severely. It took a while for it to completely disconnect but it did happen to me...

Tried the DX80 today. Time to say goodbye to my DX50. DX80 + Hugo was also good, even better than DX50 + Hugo. I'll order it on Tuesday. :)

I think the Cayin N5 does this (or I was told that it will become available through future firmware updates which I cannot recall if it happened already or not).

I am wishing for a firmware update in the future that might possibly able to address this issue. Unless it's technically impossible because of certain hardware limitations, it should be possible.

Sounds like the Stanley Parable lol.

I was hoping for a bigger soundstage as the DX50/90 did not have the biggest soundstages compared to most recent DAPs. Nevertheless, all the positive feedback sounds good.

LOL! failed miserably there, my bad. I am looking for the same thing for my Hugo as well. I'm getting a unit by the 11th to hook up to my Hugo so I'll be looking forward to that! Cheers.   P.S. I'm probably going to demo the DX80, Mojo and the X7 this weekend but I'm pretty sure I'll go for...

On iBasso's Facebook page, it says it's native DSD.

Thank you for the impressions! How's the battery life? I'm worried because the DX80 uses a relatively smaller battery compared to most recently released players.
