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

      As user Geagle correctly guessed, I meant showing the track number of the currently playing track. As an example, track 13 on a 14-track album would show a small "13/14" on the screen. Sorry I hadn't clarified the example. A comment many months ago had hinted that the screen display was being...

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

    Paul, any update on whether the (very awkward 2-speed) scrolling will be improved at some point? Also, I think a while back, some changes to the interface (like a '13/14'-style track number indication, etc.) was in the works.. is that still happening?

    For what it's worth, I've also noticed a difference; with the stock battery the soundstage is lit broadly with 3200K gelled fresnels, whereas with the Samsung the soundstage lighting is more dramatic with color spots up front and led borderlights across most of the back. But then again, I'm...

    With the DX50 no longer listed as a current product, PLEASE tell me we will still get FW updates... I'm going to assume that the DX80 doesn't have the same abysmal scrolling dynamics that the DX50 has....so maybe our beloved DX50s can inherit some of the the new coding?... please?...   Paul?

      I like the side scroll bar, but  a.) because it's right at the edge of the screen, it's difficult to access when the DX50 is in its silicone case (which mine is always in for protection), and  b.) in very large lists, it is impossible to land exactly on a particular item, so scrolling is...

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

      Scrolling one screen-height at a time (with finger/thumb always in contact when in motion) works fine. But when giving a "flick" up or down, it goes at a (slightly too fast to read) fixed speed for an arbitrary amount of time, then suddenly lurches to a stop. It's pretty clunky, and makes...

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

    I know that (apparently, given that it's all anyone talks about in this thread) that I should just pop a 3rd party firmware, but I've been holding out for a few simple "fixes" to the otherwise-pretty-good stock FW. The main glaring issue is that the scrolling ballistics are beyond terrible. My...

    Please tell me the touch-scrolling ballistics will be improved to vaguely modern standards before a new line of DAPs starts getting all the devs' attention...

      That is the correct bit/sample rate information for DSD. It samples 1 bit at 2.8224 MHz (i.e. 2822.4 kHz). It's a pulse-width sort of thing--totally different from PCM, 24bit/48kHz or otherwise.

      I agree with the previous comment: try another microSD card. On paper, even a rubbish card should be able to keep up with the average data transfer speed needed for music playback (even at high resolution/sample rate), but stats aren't always accurate when it comes to real-world applications...

    What are 3 additions to the FW of the DX50 or DX90 that you would like?

    1. Smoother/more predictable scrolling. The current crude "two-speed" ballistics are totally unpredictable and make navigating one's collection a chore rather than a pleasure. (More detail here.)   2. Fixed volume for line out. ...although I suspect this might be impossible due to hardware...

    Agreed, and unlike the clunky scrolling I gripped about, adding a %track%/%totaltracks% thing (e.g. "2/14" if you're on track 2 in a 14-track album) to the screen shouldn't be super-complicated. Current score: 75% Bring scrolling up to modern standards: 95% Add track number to home screen: 96%

    1.8.0 fixed a deal-breaker problem with media scan issues (specifically, some items came in with letters cropped off and artwork messed up). I was ready to send it back when the firmware fixed the problem. Yay!   There is still one glaring issue left, in my mind. (Note: I don't mean "glaring"...
