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...- msromike

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...- msromike

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...- msromike

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.- msromike

iBasso PB-2 Pelican fully balanced portable, DB-2 Dac . . HiFlight recommended op amps page 16. .
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...- msromike

I very much doubt it, I can almost guarantee you they are using a Buck-Boost Converter IC to get the design voltage which is probably either 5v or 12v or both. So it doesn't really matter what voltage the battery is putting out as long as it's above the cutoff threshold for the IC, which...- msromike

Maybe I should buy one from each batch. Since they all sound so different I could label them and then choose the right one for my IEM's and of course, as mentioned in the review, the sound source. If I really needed to tweak the sound I could try one of 10 different batteries, the final...- msromike

How did he receive, review, and update a website (but only after having several customers in the store listen to it) all on a unit that shipped yesterday? Maybe I'm missing something here, but it doesn't seem likely that he is referring to a 5th batch DX50.- msromike

Right. Mine is batch 4. I paid for it on 18 Sep 2013. Mine got to Cincinnati a few hours ago. Maybe I will see it on Monday or Tuesday. So, 10 or 11 days to get mine while everyone else has had theirs for a week. We all paid the same price for shipping and mine still isn't here...- msromike
