Anyone can comment about digital filters explanation? Did I saw some graphics for it?

BTW: there are also filter graphs embedded into DX200's UI itself.

@WindowsX I am trying to install you firmware. I have installed the Rockchip Usb driver for Windows8 64Bit. But when i open the app FactoryTool.exe i am getting the message "loading config file failed". Anyway the app is starting but when i select the update.img the app is crashing. What should i do?

I have the Sony WM1Z here and burning it in. It is more euphonic sounding compared to the WM1A and the DX200.  The Dx200 is more more neutral. Both are great to listen to. I prefer balanced on both and to me, the 1Z does sound different than the WM1A. To me, the WM1Z is better and a better match to the DX200 because they are different. I am using the Focal Utopia and various formats.

Could anyone please give me some quick instructions on how to get USB driver working on windows 10? Have downloaded .rar file but not sure where to go from there. Have tried looking at audio devices under device manager but cannot seem to select driver. Thanks

Is this for windows 10 to recognize the dx200 or to use dx as a DAC?

To use the DX200 as a dac.
At the moment I am connecting, turning on dac mode (tried in both Mango OS and android), dx200 shows up as "other" in device manager, but windows will not find the driver when I try to update it.

unzip the IBASSO_USB_Audio_v3.34.0.rar file and run the .exe file.  After that's done plug in the dx200 and enable the DAC ( I usually do it through Mango), and it should come up as a device to manage in the control panel under sound. Don't forget to go to Properties --> Advanced to set the quality you want.  Mine defaulted to cd quality.

James,

Just noticed your post.  I had the same issue with mine - seemed like virtual screen swipes.  I returned mine to the seller for a replacement.

Thanks for your reply. hoping its an isolated issue with a few of them only!

Sounds like many folks haven't experienced this problem.  To his credit, Paul from Ibasso offered to help.  Hopefully simply getting a replacement from the vendor will do the trick.

Thanks, but failing at the first step! How do I unzip the rar file? There is no option to do this. Do I need to download an unzipper?

Yes, you need something like 7-zip which will open .rar files.

Thanks, you're a star. Up and running....

Has anyone compared how the DX200 sounds compared to the DX100?
 
Was listening to my R10 last night (running Russian firmware) and wondering what audible differences I might hear with the DX200.

I have owned the DX100 and IMO, all of the positive audio characteristics have been improved. From a software standpoint the current firmware is more stable and user-friendly that that of the DX100. From a hardware standpoint, the WiFi reception capability of the DX200 is far and away superior to that of the DX100. Battery life is fairly close between the two, depending on the bit-rate and sample rate of the files played. Perhaps an hour better with the DX200.

Hope this is of some help to you,

Thanks.
 
Never use wifi on my R10 since only the stock player can use the ESS hardware (and because I've yet to stream Tidal HD at $20/mth).
 
The custom firmware on mine improved audio quality and speed. Seems like (for me) the DX200 would mostly be an ergonomic upgrade.
