I use Mac.  I've successfully updated firmware on this device a half dozen times.  It's completely effed up now.  

After a disastrous attempt at software update a few weeks back, I've not been able to fix my DX50.  Is there some place it can be sent for repairs?  It's a brick at this point. 

My DX50 is totally useless.  After attempting a software update, it is locking on the recovery system screen,  Hangs on update system.  Computer cant find it.  Sticks on this screen every time.  Tried several times.  Removed battery, tried hard reset, always comes back to this screen.  Frustrated.

Tried the latest update and now my DX50 won't run.  Starts up in a Chinese screen which flashes off again immediately, then nothing.  Tried reinstalling the update but I get a warning about not being able to read or write the update, then DX50 gets thrown off the computer.  Can't seem to hard...

Still looking for a good carrying case for Amperiors.  All the hardshell headphone cases I've ordered seem better suited to larger phones and the Amperiors just swim in them.

Not mad, but I personally didn't care for the stiff cable ends meant to shape to behind-the-ear cable path.  Just felt awkward to me and hard to keep from tangling.  I found a set of aftermarket cables on eBay for $20 which solved the problem.  Now if they break, I always have the original...

I recently updated from 1.28 to 1.50.  It seemed to go well and I enjoy the sound signature.  For my ears and the music I like (mostly folk and Irish Trad) it combines well with the ATH IM70s I've been playing around with lately.  One problem, however, is after a point, the whole unit would...

So I think my Grado 80s are finally done.  Wood cups, Magnum drivers, eBay cable, L Cush cups and leather pad.  They sound great and I was really pleased with how easily the Magnum drivers soldered to the cables I bought.  These were the second set of drivers I tried.  I had some PX100II drivers...

Got my E-7 yesterday, too.  Seems like brand new, once I used a little screen cleaner on the glass surface.  Factory packaging, box, accessories...all good.  Amazing deal.  

I made up a pair of SennGrados after reading this forum a bit.  I think I'm really close to having something that sounds great, but the treble is a bit intense.  I'm using PX100II drivers and they are mounted in Turbulent Labs mahogany cups.  I was intending to make up some wood cup SR80s, but...

I felt that way myself but have gotten used to the red color.  Kinda like it now and the sound is very satisfying.  Combined with my 5s or my DX50, they sound great.

Everything I have read has told me that ALAC (Apple Lossless) is sonically identical to FLAC.  Since the DX50 supports ALAC files, I have started encoding in iTunes using Apple Lossless and stopped worrying.  Very liberating, although I'm sure there will be comments about the comfort of my...

I have been enjoying a Sony 639, but as a Mac user (I have about eight of them in my home and photography studio) it has been a bit of a learning curve. I was wondering how others deal with the protected formats in iTunes. For instance, the Sony only seems to recognize MP3 and MP4, but not MP4...

Not wanting to hijack the thread, but my 639 finally arrived here in California. Although I am still learning the unit, so far I am very impressed. I would like to find a good case for it in the US and was wondering which worked the best. Thanks.

VModa Vibes with iPod Shuffle G2. I run the cable down my shirt and clip the Shuffle to my waistband. I perspire heavily and so far (2 years) it hasn't effected the equipment at all. The Vibes give enough isolation so you aren't distracted and they are very lightweight and low profile.

Being susceptible to a good deal, I purchased a set of iM716 IEMs when Amazon had them at the low price. Nice phones. All last week I was between amps, having broken my MiniMoy and waiting for my Micro plus, so I was using the 716s un-amped. They sounded pretty good out of my various iPods and...

Howdy. I have been lurking on this forum for a few weeks and have found it very informative. I have been thinking about installing Rockbox on my 4GPhoto60 (you know, fixing stuff that ain't broke again...) but was wondering if it would make communication between the iPod and my car stereo...
