[Paul - iBasso]

  Hi all, I received today my DX200, who is coming to hopefully replace my old good and beloved DX90. I'm a Mac user, and this is my very first Android device. Not being elitist here, but I've never ever used or owned any Android device ...
Yet the beast is puzzling me!
- my touchscreen has a completely erratic behavior, making it pretty much unusable. It seems that my tactile commands are buffered, I mean that I would swipe/press several times but nothing would happen, then all of a sudden the device would start changing screens alone without me touching anything. Is it fixed by a new firmware (mine is 1.2.44)?
- how can I mount it so that when connected with USB on my macbook air, I can see the internal and external memory as OSX drives and copy music using Finder?
- is there any possibility to open network drives (SMB, NFS, ...) so I can stream from my NAS?
- Is there any app that would allow me to use the device with DLNA, roon, squeezelite protocols/systems?
- can we install new apps for streaming services such as Qobuzz, Tidal?
 
 
I've been looking for a user guide but couldn't find anything. I hope I can get some answers to be able to actually use that beautiful beast

We will are uploading a new FW that should eliminate the problem if it doesn't please email me at paul@ibasso.com. The new FW will also add some features.

What's more impressive, majority of manufacturers are already off, starting a vacation week to celebrate CNY, while iBasso is still working till the last minute on fw updates!

I can't wait for my DX200, I hope it will arrive this week.

I updated to the latest FW. With the DX200 settling in and the sound having opened up really well I thought that was about it though I want more time burning it in. But with this new FW I notice even more low and controlled bass and highs that are sweeter and extended. Nice audience sound, retrieval of details. I assume with the really low noise floor, the low level detail ability of this dap, things just don't escape being heard that are recorded. I am listening to the Allman brothers band, An evening with the Allman Brothers, using the Utopia, aftermarket cable, yada, yada. Wonderful dynamics, layering and speed. I like Neil Young, Dreamin' man live a lot also and in that I hear even more sounds I haven't heard before.

Hi, is it possible to go back to previous firmware just in case I don't like the changes they made in sounding in new firmware?

I would think so. You just put it on a card and update the same as to the current FW. I have never seen ibasso lock out the ability to go back and forth.

The screen reactivity is dramatically improved with this new firmware. Still need to be able to mount the memories on my Mac, and DX90 will get a well deserved retirement!

Thanks, exactly what I need to wait for mine to be delivered
 
 
Edit : 
 
Not familiar with iBasso products, will be my first one, never heard of a burn-in cable.
Stupid question : is there any difference with burning in with an actual IEM / heaphone ?
 
 

Balanced Burn-in cable:
Plug the burn-in cable into the BAL out socket, and keep playing music to burn-in the DX200. The burn-in process helps the DX200's sound reach its full potential by forming the capacitors and stabilizing the electronic components used.

Can it outclass your Opus 2 yet ?
