i rated the sound of cowon d2 over any ipods that ive had in the past.  then i got a dx50 and i rate it several levels above d2.  when paired with pico/predator, the sound is absolutely amazing. 

ive used many ipods and other dap's but never tried rockbox.    could anyone briefly explain the advantages (and disadvantages if exist) of rockbox?   my dx50 is running on 1.2.8., and i like the sound and it has been working without any flaws.  i dont use the playlists or anything like that. 

i'm using dx50 with headpico pico (not slim or power) and rs predator.  comparing to dx50's headphone out, using either of those two with its line-out takes the sound quality to another level (i favor pico over predator).     i am listening via sennheiser hd600 and er4p/s.  i really did not...

i still love cowon d2.  it's compact, easy to use, and still brings out better sound than most other mp3 players do out there imo.  it'll be used with my car stereo full time now. 

apparently, my 64gb sd card (cost me $18) was defective.  i picked up a sandisk 64gb card today, and it works fine with dx50.    dx50 is simply amazing! compared to cowon d2 and a few ipods, dx50's sound quality is just different.  since i mostly had mp3s loaded into cowon d2 and ipods, i...

turns out, like someone mentioned previously, that my 64gb micro sd card was defective.  i guess that shoulve been expected with a 64gb card that cost $18.  i picked up a sandisk 64gb card today, and it works fine with dx50.  the unit is working without any flaws so far. 

yep. i will 1. format the micro sd card. 2. reinstall 1.2.8 + factory reset.  will let you guys know. thank you for your help.

havent tried it yet since im at work.  i will try it when i get home later. thank you. 

thanks guys.  the unit came with 1.2.8 installed.  i inserted the sd card while the unit was on, and it gave me 2 options which were 1.scan 2.browse.  when i choose scan, the "media scanning" window shows and stays that way forever.  i left it like that for over 10 minutes (i only have 15gb of...

i just received mine!  unfortunately, it's not working...    http://www.head-fi.org/t/680472/dx50-bug-list-wish-list-fix/1080#post_10315763 

i just received my dx50.  excited as a pig in poo, i inserted the micro sd card and turned on the unit.  i expected the unit to start scanning the micro sd card as soon as it was powered on but nothing was happening.    when i went to my music -> directory -> and chose SD card.  then the...

woohoo! i got the tracking info.  scheduled to arrive tomorrow am.    will the unit come with the original firmware or the latest firmware? 

same here.  they originally had the stock date as 2/22.  now, theyve been saying "will ship in 1-2 days". 

i guess i lucked out.  last week, i found a 64gb micro for $18 with free shipping.  i didnt really know the going prices of these micro sd cards so i ordered just one.  the next day, the price was changed to $45 (or $50. i forget).  i received mine, tested it on my computer and it is fully...

i looked everywhere and the best price i saw was on mp4nation.  $260 for dx50 and some earphones + free fedex shipping.  it was a preorder and the website said they would have it in stock on 2/22.  i dont know if they will really have them in stock this week but if they do, im guessing i'll...

trying to connect my laptop to creative 5.1 channel speaker system.  like most laptops, mine does not have the 3 (front, rear, center) 1/8" output jacks, so i will be using a trutlebeach srm which has the usb input and a 5.1 channel 9 pin output jack. the cable i need looks something like this...

  from ray samuels:   "It is more detailed & open sound on the top than it used to be before. Ray Samuels"

i havent gotten the balanced cables yet, so ive been listening to intruder + hd600 combo via SE, comparing to predator and pico.  intruder has about 50 hours of usage and predator about 3 hours.  to my ears, predator sounds better than intruder.  making me re-think about selling predator. ...

i used to have hd650, hd600, dt990 & dt880 in both 250 and 600 ohm, and some grado cans.  of course, i sold them all years ago.  after taking several years off, i made a comeback to the world of headphone/amp-fi world a few months ago.  since i couldnt spend too much money, i purchased a new...

the fedex guy just delivered my intruder, and it is charging at the moment.     one interesting to note (it may have been mentioned or discussed in the past but i havent seen it): there was a sticky note on my intruder.    i emailed ray and asked exactly what was enhanced but have not...
