I want to remove Rockbox but am having trouble.  Here is what I did:   Installed CWM Installed Rockbox form CWM recovery Installed "stock_recovery.zip" from CWM From "DX50 system recovery  <3e>" I tried to install update.img v1.5, and then after failure tried update.img v1.2.8 which also...

  OK.  The mean customer rates the DX50 as "84% of perfect."    The bottom 10th percentile rate it as "42.5% perfect."  the top 10th percentile rate it as "99% perfect."   I rate it as sounds really good.  The UI is actually quite nice.  I hope iBasso continues to refine the firmware for...

OK, I'll bite.     To my mind it would seem the amp draws the vast majority of the power used by the unit.  The DAC has to decode whatever format of bits it receives.  Are you sure that the decoder chip draws more or less amperage based on the audio source storage stream or container?   SWAG...

Yes of course, thank you.  Let's try this:   source material -> speakers -> amp -> DAC   in that order period.  :-)

Was that blind AB testing?  If it wasn't ABX it means nothing.  I would wager you couldn't identify with any statistical significance, which battery was which using a blind testing method.   Everyone sees what they want to see, hears what they want to hear,and believes what they want to...

I am using 1.2.2.     Yesterday the DX50 made that computery screech/squeal that everyone has heard at one time or another,and then went black and unresponsive.  I had to take the battery out and then it worked.   Today my coax wouldn't work right after powering up (it was playing through...

I have noticed that is the trend in UI design lately.  It is definitely the opposite of what almost everyone has used in the past.  I must say I kinda like the method of labeling the button for what happens when you activate it.  It grows on you.

Where did you get the white and grey combination hook/rubber band strap, and the round black polka dotted rubber band?

Which batch DX50? Will it be for early 70s prog rock or more for late 60s art rock? How many channels was the source recorded in before it was mixed down? Stock cables or aftermarket IEM cables? Silver interconnects or copper? and how many strands?   There is just not enough info to tell...

I searched the forum for 10 mins because I know it's in there, just couldn't find it.   When using the DB2 with the external power supply do you leave the charge switch on or off?    I am assuming if the charging switch is on you get the 14V from the battery at the amp section and the charge...

What mod did your friend make to the DB2?

  What is "IBasso Dab 2 full mod diy?"

      And that is my finished:   iBasso DX50 24-192 DAT/DAP, with coax connection to... iBasso DB2 Boomslang2, Portable Balanced 24Bit/192kHz DAC, feeding balanced line level to... iBasso PB2 Pelican, Portable Balanced Headphone Amp with Hiflight Topkit, sending balanced output to...

Done!  (except maybe better IEM cable)   Question:  Suggestions for putting the 4 parts in a stack or case or something I can carry around the house?

These micro Linux distros typically will format the file structure as part of the reset process.  This insures the file system is not corrupted, and wipes the file system clean of everything
