Thanks very much for the update, that does make sense. I guess I didn't think that through - you're probably right that Netflix, HBO etc don't stream in multichannel so I guess this wouldn't work. One for the future then!

OK thanks Paul, that's helpful.I will try that.

Excellent. I haven't checked this thread in months, then when I do, we instantly get a new FW :-)   I'm still on 2.1.5 and the fade-out bug has been annoying me. I see that formatting the card will fix the problem, but that's a bit clunky - I'm wondering if this has been fixed in this update now?

So is there any word on an iOS version? Seems to have been "coming soon" for a couple of years now.. I'm not sure I want to use this in my music chain, and the only time I listen to movies on headphones is on my iPad. I'm definitely interested in having virtual 5.1 in that scenario - an idea...

  I have UE900 and generally speaking, I like them a lot. Bass is a bit lacking though. I've veered away from trying the EQ as it doesn't seem particularly intuitive - would you mind sharing your settings please? I'd liek to give it a go and see if they work for me too...

Actually I was living in Shanghai when I bought it! Can't remember how much I paid for it then.. but on Amazon UK, it's around £319, which is more than I paid for it...

Well I don't have both so can't directly compare I'm afraid. I do have the DX90 (and had the DX50 before that) and I think it's extremely good. It's also excellent value for money. It's not the last word in quality design, but it's good enough, but it's the SQ that's important, and it really...

I know these sorts of threads can be annoying, but I'm driving myself mad trying to figure out the perfect IEM pairing for my DX90. Right now I have my UE900 which are good, no question. I've been happy with them particularly with classical, but they do lack a little bass and they're not the...

  Not sure why technically that is the case, but that's correct - you can't downgrade the firmware to the original version without using a special tool on Windows (I think it's called RKBatch or something, it's in this thread, probably on front page) and you can't do it at all on a Mac I believe..

  I also have UE900s, which by and large I'm pleased with. I don't want to drop big bucks so they're good enough for now. However, I'm finding that they combine well with the DX90 to make classical music really interesting to listen to primarily because they're able to clearly separate the...

Just to check though, when using the Hugo, the DAP is only being used as a source, right? So the DX90 isn't really the reason that it sounds good?

Thank you, that worked. I just needed to rescan the card and it seems to be working OK now.   re. the SQ, I think it's improving already (might just be me) but after 24hrs or so of burn in, I listened to Clapton / Mayall and it sounded fantastic :-)

I received my DX90 and have had a little listen. So far, it sounds pretty good but - not sure that it's massively better than my DX50 so far (this is with my Momentums and UE900s). So, I'm thinking, perhaps the need to burn-in is real.   So I tried to shuffle the whole contents of my SD card...

New DX90 should be turning up today. Looking forward to seeing how much of an upgrade it will be from my DX50.    I'm slightly nervous about how tricky it is to roll the FW on the new player though, unless I've misunderstood. I was used to how easy it was on the DX50. Seems harder to roll back...

 Just the one..

  I don't wish to make your choice more difficult, but the just released DX90 is getting very good initial feedback. At $419 it should be quite the giant killer...

  In order to keep the thread on track, you should probably head on over to the HE500 thread (which admittedly, is huge) but in short:   I found that for very complex music like classical, instrument separation and so on starts to break down and it becomes a little muddled and the sound...

I can vouch for the HE500 as I have a pair. I'm a big believer in bang for your buck, and the HE500s are the very definition of that. They sound magnificent with most forms of music, very involving, accurate, very good soundstage. Not the most comfortable (although you get used to them), not the...

The same thing occurred to me.. decided to come clean, far too risky :-)

I think you'll be impressed with how much of an upgrade you'll be getting. I also have an HTC One. It's a fine phone but I never use it to play music since getting my DX50. I can only imagine how much of an upgrade the 90 will be :-)

The Minister of Finance (Mrs Warth0g) has just, rather unexpectedly, given me permission to purchase a DX90. She doesn't understand why I need another DAP since I bought the DX50 relatively recently and it looks exactly the same.   Thing is, neither do I.. I was perfectly happy with my 50 but...

Ha :-) I think that's probably what they're worried about.. worth a try though!

This is weird. I sent an email to iBasso complaining of the problems I've been having with the buttons not working on my unit. They replied asking me to send it in, as expected. No sooner had they done that but the buttons instantly started working again, perfectly. Can they remotely access our...

After watching the video on the Kickstarter page, it's hard NOT to be sold on Pono. The cream of the music industry, and lots of them, all saying the same thing - that it sounds completely revolutionary, that they'd never heard anything like it before.   But Neil Young himself admits that Pono...

  Sorry but I'm not actually sure what batch mine is from. I wasn't a particularly early adopter but I've had it a few months now, so 5th or 6th at a guess? I bought it off Taobao, so it'll be interesting to see what iBasso's response for a RMA will be. Hopefully it won't make a difference...
