    There are 15 tracks that do not have an album name in my entire catalog  - without really digging (its a pain to browse the player), at most 2 tracks might have been copied over on my first pass at putting music on the player (I did about 50 gig worth just to see how it was working and sent over...

    Howdy,   Got my hands on a new DX80 a week and change ago.   Just curious about a couple of things.  Firstly, has anyone encountered a large hiss issue?  On a couple power ons when I then connected to a device (car stereo via trs or a portable speaker via trs) I got a huge hiss.  Not even...

    The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016

    Just an update and shout out to Ibasso.   I had dropped my poor DX50 so many times that on one of the drops, well, the volume up stopped working (the button would push but the receiver inside would move due to a partially broken connection.  So I got hold of Ibasso and they fixed it for free...

    Best looking & sounding 2.0 compact speakers for my iMac

    Kef LS50s are what I have for my desktop speakers coupled with a small amplifier (Micromega).

    I am afraid the touch screen doesn't work for volume control.  I can get it to pull up when I hit volume down but its only up momentarily and touching that pop up screen doesn't let you adjust the volume.  The volume top center on the playback screen is also not possible to hit and adjust the...

    Howdy,   My DX50 has died - well, it hasn't died but the volume up button no longer functions.  I 'repaired' it previously with some paper inserted to force the switch to push in on the receiver but alas, that fix is no longer working.  Probably as I am a clutz and dropped it a few too many...

    I appreciate that try tingis, I really do.   Holy cow, its beyond manageable it seems to make an external playlist.  The permutations and combinations that can make this go wrong are plentiful - where exactly do you place the m3u on the device (internal storage /album, internal storage m3u...

    The playlist shows up, but there are no tracks in it.  Dunno if its a dx50 thing or a Musicbee thing - can't look inside the m3u file to see what it actually contains.

    The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016

    I have continued to try to no avail - has anyone figured out how to get a m3u playlist on the device to work?  I have tried copying exported ones from Musicbee to every directory possible on the player but simply can't get playlists to work.  Its painful to have to keep swapping out cards all...

    How do I get to import a playlist into a dx50?   I made a playlist in Musicbee and exported a m3u file. I put it on the dx50 microsd card.  I can browse and see the file but touching the side or the middle of the icon for the file doesn't give me any 'import' options.  Its so hard to make...

    Well it is indeed a Sandisk card; a class 10 so as good as I can get (from them).  Maybe try a Samsung next.  Its not a problem.....most of the time.  I had never noticed before though pre 'upgrading' to the 1.60 firmware.   I also notice that 'gapless' if more 'very small gap' depending on...

    Hmm, have an Ibasso DX50.  Updated the firmware to 1.60 about a month back.  I now notice that tracks that are on it can 'skip' a bit in certain sections.  Oddly, the flac originals on the desktop don't do this and the flacs have been copied over to the Ibasso.  They also don't skip always at...

    Stupid question time but I searched and can't find the answer.   I have a playlist on the Ibasso DX50.  I don't know where that file and its info is but I do know the one time I removed the storage card and replaced it, I lost the playlist(s).  I'd like to copy that file so that I can at worst...

    Well, on a second go, both outputs (line/headphone) were working in the car.  Dunno, odd.  Maybe I duffed something initially.   I am quite liking the player - I am going to have to seriously figure out how to do a lot of metadata editing.  I am using MusicBee and albums/genres are all over...

    The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016

    Stupid question time - we have a phone out and a line out.  I understand the line out bypasses the internal amp but does digital volume control; ok, but what amplified the signal then?  Also, interesting to me is if I hook up headphones to the phone out, they work, to the line out they don't...
