2. Improved the support for the music folder when a large number of music files are loaded. (Android OS)
3. Improved the scrolling operation on some interfaces. (Mango OS)
4. Improved the scanning function. (Mango OS)
5. Rectified the bug that some M3U are unable to be imported. (Mango OS)



Instructions For Firmware update:

1. Copy and paste the DX220-ota-full-1.19.324.zip to your SD card's root folder, or the DX220's internal memory.
2. Go to Android OS, press Settings-->System-->Updater-->local update, and tap the zip file.

Why can’t the Wi-Fi updater do this?

Very significant updates! esp. the m3u...

It will but there is usually a few days delay before it gets put on the OYTA servers. Paul and the iBasso folk have been pretty awesome about making the file available for download as an option. Or you can just wait a few days and download it straight to the DAP.
Cheers and All the Best!

Yes, I've been chasing them on the playlist issue for quite a while and for several DAPs. I know it's caused quite a few people some wailing and gnashing of teeth. Let's hope that's behind us!

Well, for me the m3u import didn't work (again). The songs on the imported list are all shuffled, even worse than before. I'll troubleshoot my m3u format again but this has happened before...and will happen again (BSG reference). This has been the only killjoy with iBasso DAPs, although I have always managed a workaround...but not without considerable difficulty most times.
Until next time...
Cheers!

Well that is unfortunate - makes you wonder how much testing they do before rolling these FW updates out...

I don't suppose there is any chance that they incorporated the alphanumeric scrolling capability that is advertised to be in the DX300 & DX240? I rolled back and stayed at 1.17.256 after the disappointing experience with 1.18.284.

Although - kudos to iBasso for continuing to support the DX220 - I am hopeful that they will address some of the ideas and requests in the dedicated thread here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/dx220-thread-for-software-requests.906199/

DX228EX is still what I listen to almost daily - spent a nice solid hour last night and still impressed with the fantastic sound quality.

Cheers,
Tim

It was supposed to be completely tested. We will go over this again to weed out the issues.

Thank you Paul - please let us know what you find out...

Happy Holidays and stay safe out there!

Add-on v.1.28 is compatible with the firmware 1.19.324.

Add-on v.1.28 is compatible with the firmware 1.19.324.

Off topic but just one question. Will you do the same update for the DX160?

Thanks @Paul - iBasso for continuing to chase this. You help keep my faith in iBasso strong.
One off topic question, have the iBasso Engineers considered R2R resistor ladder DACs to replace brand name DAC chips?
They could program their own filters through an FPGA and never have to worry if there's a shortage of a company's DAC chips.
I've been listening to a R2R DAC at home and it sounds amazing! (Please forgive me if I've asked this before, I'm under the weather and my memory is jumbled today)
Cheers and All the Best!

Dang! so sad, really.
oh might as well build a playlist in Android, then transfer to the Mango. This works - it's painstaking - imagine an entire genre playlist - but it works...

I had done that previously (a lot) and it didn't work. The playlist file I had tried was built in Android...but now that you mention it, it wasn't built under this firmware version. I guess I need to build another Android Mango playlist under the new firmware and try importing into Mango OS again. Fingers crossed...
Cheers and Thanks!

Some of my playlists were created in 1.18 and worked in the previous 1.19 (the version before .324)
I noticed after the 1.19 update (the version before .324), m3u files populated the playlist in the Mango, I haven't tried though, I looked for my own android playlists in the Mango and played them in the same - without any hiccup...
