Funny, when I requested an update on the shipping, I included Paul on the email chain. I didn't see a response from him or ibasso. Perhaps Paul can explain why customers ordering directly from his company's website don't get the same treatment? And who is Jack Mayi @ Sino-US? BTW, I got some...

Not that I saw. That is what ibasso contact can be used for. How did you order yours?

I ordered the battery on the iBasso website and supplied them with the necessary requested info.

Yup.

Thanks for that, yannis! I would, however, like to express my displeasure here with iBasso regarding the whole battery ordering process. After Paypaling them the funds, they never communicated when the battery would be shipped, even after requesting that info. Weeks latter I received a...

This sounds like what began happening to me. The DX200 starts playing a track and abruptly shuts down within 10 seconds. I kept trying this while the battery was between 80 and 50% power remaining. I even tried a factory reset but it didn't help. Is this a definitive symptom that battery is gone...

I appreciate all the sound impressions of the amp9 but I am wondering if it is capable of driving average full size cans or, say harder-to-drive ety4s.

Using Neutralizer here to even out the response curves of various headphones. (Its not a useful tool to fix bad recordings.) No degradation detected yet in Oreo (after a system refresh). Previously in Marshmallow, having it engaged, it only very occasionally introduced some noise which was...

Unfortunately, Tidal doesn't have any built in EQ settings. Neutralizer is a unique app in that it's super easy to set and save EQ curves for each different headphone owned. It has worked systemwide, even with Tidal. I don't always use it, but I find it indispensible. But as I said previously...

Assuming you've already ruled out a bad SD card, which shouldn't be the case if you can still reach the card by directory, I can only suggest a factory reset which I have found to cure most problems after upgrades.

I don't have scanning issues in my new 8.1 install.

I had the usb plugged in for charging. Restarting the DX200 wouldn't start the update until it was unplugged. That's why I suggest a minor clarification to step 17 so it reads "Unplug USB cable and swich off device." for dummies like me.

Follow-up: I installed the 8.1 upgrade and then your patch, Lurker. I wound up having heavy audio distortion on Hi-res tracks when using the equalizer app, Neutralizer, and also with a loud hiss with the mono setting turned on. I tried performing a factory reset then had to reinstall the patch...

I took your example and upgraded just fine. Thanks very much for the step-by-step. You may want to add "Unplug the DX200" to step 17 otherwise it won't update. The best gift to me with 8.1 is the system-wide mono option in the accessibility section. Love it.

Just to clarify step 14 "Move to Bin" means move it to trash? Also does one need to be on stock firmware (e.g. not on Lurker's 6.1) for this update to 8.1 to work? Thanks.

You really need to heed this warning. This bug can cause ear damage. LOL

Yesterday I validated what I was hearing was distortion, primarily in the midrange when more than one instruments are playing (did I read somewhere that one reviewer wrote it had trouble with complex music?). Both channels are affected. Funny I did not pick up on this on my initial listen so...

I received the IT01's on Sunday and have buring them in since using DX200. I have noticed a couple troubling issues. Firstly, the sound balance is extraordinarily dependant on the supplied tips none of which I find satisfactory. I find the foam tips pretty useless because once compressed prior...

Why not install it yourself?

Does anyone here know if AMP5 will be at the NYC camjam?

Interesting. None of my embedded only covers did and the dealer informed me that it must be a separate file in the folder. I use iTunes to embed the art.

I recently bought the mkii from a China source. I took a chance because it was priced right where I wanted pay, had a relatively simple UI, all button navigation and supposedly good sound so I had high hopes. Rather than doing a full review I will post my impressions. The good: Small size and...

Thanks for the reply (and for the community support), Lurker0. Does that also mean that the current Neutron version doesn't need your USB audio app to sound its best anymore?

I noticed that you don't have the Direct USB Driver set to ON as per Lurker0's app instructions for Neutron. I am not sure if they are outdated but when I put that setting ON the audio mutes. I wonder if it makes a difference.

Ah, but then how do we know it even outputs any rate higher than 16/44? In any event I just received my AK320. The box lists the res as 24/192 instead of the AK website's advertised 32/384. Unless they reply to my earlier request for clarification they will probably loose a sale. Oh well, I...
