Should be fine, I have the same cable for HD6XX and HE-4XX and use it all the time with 2.5mm balanced port on my Onkyo DP-X1A player, should be same as DX150 2.5mm balanced port.

  Thanks for the recommendation. I will have to check out the PX100-II. I have a pair of PX200 that I hadn't even thought of trying out with the DX80 and now that I am, I'm seeing more of their strengths :) I think they are much better with the DX80 then they ever were with other (lesser)...

I'm actually not surprised to hear this at all :) I always felt that although I loved their bass they could use a bit of a push on the top end. Seems like that is a perfect match for the DX80. I'll be looking forward to trying this out when I get back to the pair I have at work. I will note...

  I believe it is two separate issues, or maybe similar root cause but different type of effect... personally I do not have any thump-when-skip-track, but I do have sharp pops or clicks randomly during songs, and also an occasional second of skipping, randomly within a song as well.

  I'm curious how this goes... I definitely still had the pops after the FW update and first factory reset, and second reset did resolve it. So far 6+ hrs playback with no more pops!

  First let me note that this was just a followup post; I had performed two factory resets last night and since then so far I have had no further pops/clicks/skips. Now have 6+ hrs on the clock after the FW update and resets, so I think the pops/clicks/skips are gone for good.   For the...

Thanks for reminding me, I should probably note that I *only* use the headphone out which is where I was getting the pops/clicks/skips.

I had occasionally still gotten clicks and skips on FW 1.2.1, before factory resetting twice and rescanning my cards. FWIW I am using a Sandisk Ultra 64gb card (exfat) and also a Kingston 32gb class 4 card (fat32) and have gapless playback turned on. So far (since last night's resets), no more...

I would also love to see a DC area meet.
