I am looking for a DAP to use as a transport. I am curious how this X5 2nd gen compared to the 3rd gen for the Coax output? I only care about the Coax output, that is my main use case. Spec wise, both DAPs have dual oscillators, X5 2nd gen has 2 SI oscillators, while not sure which is on the 3rd...

Hi - not sure if this has been asked somewhere, is anyone able to get the DX50 output HD audio (e.g. 96k 24 bit) via coaxial output? Thanks

Interesting read, thanks for sharing! It is really ashamed to know that we have been hearing from DAPs that are no better than iPhones :). Hope you can measure more devices to reveal this myth lol.

I also have exactly the same issue. Any solution yet?

Hi - having had a DX50, and decided to try a mod for it. I mainly use its LO, so will try the LO mod first. After reading through this thread, so what I will need to do is:   - replace the diff amp: it could be either LME49721MA or ADA4841-2YRZ (SOIC-8). Pls let me know what is the latest...

Thanks so much for your reply. I am not technically good at modding DX50 yet, probably I may sell it for another one with better amp stage, or maybe just stick it with an external amp.

Hi, I got a DX50 and has been using it as the player for my amp. The amp has been broken, awaiting replacement. I then pair the DAP with my headphone, then I found out that the HO is really boring sound, not musical and not engaging. It sounds worse than my old player. Is this DAP inferior in...
