Anyone had CalyxM before? What do you think DX220 compare to CalyxM? I remembered CalyxM was famous for its amp stage with poor battery life.

Good lord, Mango sounds so much better than Android Mango. Never going back....

Yeah, pretty obvious one at that too ! LoL

Whoever also likes Mango OS please write Paul and let him know of issues and suggestions for functionality so they can keep improving it.

I never cared about Mango OS before as I used third party players, but Mango OS is so good on the 220. In my opinion, the player should be refined to be the standard player for the 220--at least for SD card playback.

Just started my journey with the DX220. So far so good out of the box.
Upgraded to new firmware and currently using the Mango OS.

Happen to stumble upon the filter (i.e. slow roll-off (linear) is the default).
Any idea, if these filter are used for any specific purpose?

My dumb a$$ never ever switched into Mango OS with the DX200, the shame...

Imagine if they could somehow hotswap between Android and Mango Linux seamlessly [INSERT ACTUAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERING IDEAS HERE]

One quick question, and one longer one. First, does the line out also benefit from burn in? Second, is it possible, or will it ever be possible, to get an update, if one so wanted, that would remove everything from the DX220 except the Mango OS? I have no need for wifi, third party apps, youtube, anything besides an offline DAP. Something akin the the DX120 in that regard. Just wondering.

Mango OS has direct access to hardware cause doesn't go through software layer exist in th android framework. It's as easy as that. Mango is linux based and able to get full potential from the codec cause it hard lowest level of access to the hardware. e.g Direct X in Windows is a layer to access to the GPU.

Does the Lurker guy have any ideas on how to perhaps isolate certain applications for better sound quality, disable everything else or as much as possible when they are working? I realize this might be futile but curious anyway. So those of you who have already burned everything in what kind of differences in sound quality are we talking about between Mango OS and the Mango app on Android OS? Anyone using streaming services with the DX220 yet? Someone has to be.

If you don't mind that the useless hardware is still there, but is turned off, and that software stuff still takes flash memory space, but nothing more, then my add-on does just that what you want: in Mango mode, no a service starts that is not required.

@Lurker0, does this further improve SQ in Mango mode, or is it just for efficiency?

Spotify and Tidal both allows you to choose which storage to save those offline files. Yes, it’s encrypted so you can’t play it independently which meant no-go on Mango OS.

If you want to improve experience on Android OS, put it on airplane mode to disable all the antennas which usually the source of interference.

Does this actually improve sound to your ear?

Not to my ears. But I ain't a bat either.

For Tidal and Spotify it's best to download the songs and listen to it offline. No more buffer, saving bandwidth and best of all no interference.
I'm streaming just to check whether the songs are worth to download or not.
