Thanks for all your work, cholero (and xzcc of course), you're making even greater an already great DAP :)

  It shows them only in library mode, but doesn't play them. No error, just no playback.

Quick question: does battery meter work as it should on latest cholero's build? My DX50 died on me in the middle of a trip and it shouldn't have based on the remaining battery. I wa wondering if that's a known issue or if it's just me.

Both players have been in the market for less than a year, so we have no clues on breakability/durability, but I'd take the flash way and get a meizu, at least there's one less component to fail...

+1 to Samsung YP-Z5 It doesn't support FLAC, but does OGG quite well, and besides without an amp and 300$+ headphones I doubt you can tell the difference between a 192 VBR lame MP3 and lossless. If all you want is music, great SQ and great Battery life, you can't go wrong with a Z5, and...

secks-ey!!! SoundStage may be a pain in the ass, but sony's small form factor flash players are really beautiful

More Samsung + T1 goodness... Samsung YP-Z5F > Custom IC > iBasso T1 > one-side recabled AKG K81 DJ's

Get a Samsung YP-Z5, you won't regret it and you should find it pretty cheap by now. I like its sound more than my 1G Shuffle. BTW it will sound great with that AKG's of yours

Count me in! could make a fine addition to my HTPC!

This thing is sensitive as hell, it's picking noise from my desk lamp's power supply from near 1 metre (3 ft)!

OMG that must be the alcoholics amp of choice. I've go a little Jack Daniels bottle that looks the same xDDDD

Finally today arrived my T1. It has been on less than 5 hours or so, and with my K81DJs I have noticed only sublte improvements, mainly "fuller" sound, with slightly more defined bass and better highs. But this little thing has given new life to my CX300s. I was trying some crappy phones I...

Meizu M6 Owners say it has great bass. You can try it Or you can just stop being so close-minded and try a headphone amp. There are many small amps that aren't necessarily a burden to wear, namely Xin Supermicro/Minibox D/iBasso T1... I'm sure any of these amps will give you morebass than...

Could you post pics and/or your impressions about the ICs? I'm assuming they won't be top quality, but if they are utterly bad, I need to start making me some silver bling IC's for when my T1 arrives (and It's already 3 days late...) Of course if you could give a word or two on how does it...

Depending on the impedance of the phones. iBasso T1 has, in fact, 2 headphone outs...
