It's worth noting that I have no major issues with the DX80 anymore, all major issues (playback issues) have been completely resolved. Yay! I do have a couple minor issues however. I have four albums in which the album art will not show up in the artist view but WILL show up while a song is...

I am extremely interested! While I don't have a technical background and would describe myself as a hobbyist, I grew up around live sound as my father worked as a live sound engineer. I use IEMs exclusively and have for many, many years. I have previously owned a variety of IEMs made by Westone...

The new Samsung 256GB memory card works flawlessly and solved all my issues! My old cards were very high quality, properly formatted, etc., but they were slow by modern standards and I think that was why I was having issues specifically with 24/192 FLAC files. The high data rate was too much for...

That is great news! Makes sense since Paul from iBasso said he uses the exact card I purchased with no problems. For my ears and budget the DX80 does 100% of what I need. If this card works properly for playback of 24/192 FLAC files then I will be completely satisfied. The only feature it lacks...

It's arriving tomorrow, that's really not encouraging. DX80 is supposed to support cards in that capacity range, I checked with Paul. He said he personally has used one of those cards successfully in fact. We will see. I used an equally fast 128GB card today and early results are good, I...

I just ordered a brand new Samsung Evo Plus 256GB UHS-I Type 3 class 10 card which is much faster than my older cards. I will let you know if that makes any difference after it arrives. It was enormously expensive so I really hope it does. To clarify, my theory was that my old cards' read...

I've done that, unfortunately it still just shows up as ADB instead of Loader.

You guys are hilarious. :P I was just hoping I had missed an update on timetable from FiiO over the weekend, maybe from the NYC Canjam or some such.

Any word on how soon this might be available for purchase in the US? I would buy it immediately if it were available.

So far I haven't found anything that isn't, as you said, "above my pay grade". If someone has experience with this and can give advice I would appreciate it!

I've tried it repeatedly. The iBasso only shows up as "ADB". I've gotten it to work before but not since the very first time I tried it, and Windows 10 absolutely will not let me reinstall the driver.

I want to try using the Factory Tool again and see if it fixes my issue with high res file playback, however I have a problem. When I plug in my DX80, whether it is in recovery mode or Card Reader mode, it shows up in device manager under USB devices as "rk312x", uninstalling the device does not...

Yes sorry, 2016. I will check with them on the Warranty then, though I've already emailed Paul as well.

To varying degrees yes. Sometimes I think I've fixed it and it's finally gone, and then a track or two later it's back. It's extremely frustrating.

Paul, if you see this, I just emailed you with the information and a copy of the receipt. I purchased it April 2015 so it's within a year old, hopefully there is something that can be done to suitably resolve this issue!

  Lurker, unfortunately that's the tool I use to format my SD cards in the first place, so it's definitely not going to fix them. If it were, it would have already. At this point I think there is no hope for it. 

Lurker thanks again I will try the tool you linked to. I don't have any cards under 128GB so maybe that was the issue. They tested fine on my computer and a low level format didn't fix the issues but maybe your tool will. Jon Parker, thank you for your support! If Lurker's tool doesn't fix it...

I love the player otherwise, the sound signature is perfect for my taste and I don't care about wireless or Bluetooth or anything of that sort. I just can't get high res FLAC files to play consistently and even when they do I find it stressful at this point, always listening and waiting for a...

Is this available for sale in the US? If so where, I would love to buy one but can't find a link.

I've tried the batch tool, I've tried the SD cards, nothing works. Sometimes there is LESS stuttering and popping, but it never goes away completely. Aside from a brief moment of optimism when Lurker fixed the other issue I was having, I find this DAP endlessly frustrating. Unless there is a...

Update: even my Louis Armstrong "What A Wonderful World" album, which generally seemed to play fine, is popping and stuttering like crazy, and it's not the files. It's only 24/192, I've checked my 24/44.1, 24/48, and 24/96 files and they all seem to play fine. Nearly all my music is 24 bit FLAC...

Well I'm back. The files all play now, without hanging, which is a huge improvement don't get me wrong. However, there is still stuttering and popping in the playback of all of my 24/182khz FLAC files, and while reconverting them fixed the playback issue before, it has not done anything for the...

Fantastic! Lurker for me at least you've made a great player a perfect player. I already loved the DX80 but between your kick-ass firmware and your help today I really feel like it does everything I need with excellence. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for doing this! I am definitely dissapointed in HD Tracks, considering what you pay for the files you expect them to work. I know this is probably a 100% newb question but will reincoding my problematic files using an official FLAC encoder degrade the quality at all? Thanks...

As far as I can tell the whole album simply will not play.
