Can anyone tell me how to play albums in sequence ( play next album after current one ends) in Mango OS and also in Android Mango player?

 

[RJUN]

I've been using my DX340 for almost 4 months now and never experienced any of the issues mentioned in any of these pages.
Could it have anything to do with the fact that I use local files played on the Mango O/S and player. BTW. the Mango player sounds great to me although Playlists are a b'#;'#

With WiFi streaming music...

How is that an appropriate response? I'm sharing my hard won experience and you laugh? Perhaps there is a language barrier but when someone shares a perspective it would appropriate to either say thanks or nothing at all. To laugh is flat out rude and encourages less sharing...perhaps your response encapsulates a lot of what is wrong with people. Good luck to you

Hi, you seem offended, my laughing emoji translates to,

I’m also in audio IT, netgear/cisco managed switches, pro audio firmware, brands like Shure systems, L’acoustic systems, Clearcom systems, Dante, Qlab, Apple Silicon.

My laughing emoji relates to your fundamental practice of also not jumping into latest firmware.

Ibasso DX340 firmware isn’t work, it’s a hobby, I updated so i share any bugs experienced.

Whatever that seems to be tilting you, please.

Ok, definitely lost in translation then. I'm not 'tilted' just confused how you might think others could possibly interpret your 'laughing' as what you have stated here. Have a great day.

I don't know exactly what fixed my specific issue. But I can report that after multiple (> 10) factory resets and cleaning all contacts and connectors the noise is gone. What I did differently this time is NOT doing any Play Store updates before disabling these apps.

@Stouthart
What’s your best advise?
Should we dial down to the previous firmware?
My fix now is, for me amp 14 seems to be free of the noise, and that somehow for me it only affects when I run it through soundtiger amps.
Thanks for your response.

For those of you describing "static" do you mean it sounds more like buzzing/ticking or more like a water fall? The former is usually some type of RF interference and the later is noise floor dictated by amp design and headphone sensitivity.

For DX340, I hear a little noise at H gain on both 15 and 14 amps. M gain or lower, I don't hear any noise. This is with 20 ohm JH Layla that has a moderate sensitivity (for an IEM) of 117 dB at 1 mA. I've don't see this as an issue because this is why DX340 comes with 3 gain levels as do most amps. My full size headphones have no noise on H gain.

By a "little noise", I mean if I start the day and just insert my IEMs in my ear and check for noise, I can hear it. After listening to music at moderate levels for an hour or so and I immediately pause, I can't hear the noise. I have to wait a couple minutes for my ears to re-adjust.

I hear small clicks especially on the right channel with IE900 which are not sensitive at all, also with the Meze Advar, currently rotating firmware, tried the latest and the one before, coming back to the one before OG now, this is totally unacceptable and only in USB-DAC mode (before flashing firmware it was great!).

Nope, local files only.

Yeah, that's not normal. What you describe is similar to what you hear if the DAC gets sporatic errors in data packets. To completely rule out your source in DAC mode, have you tried another USB source like your smartphone? or a different cable?

Thanks, I did try just now with the iPad mini and it was totally smooth, changed a USB cable (to one that the DX340 did not like before) and got back to the phone, now it works ... Annoying! But at least I can now get back to the latest fw

 

[Giunteris]

Can anybody tell me, which of the amps (14, 15, 16 AB/tube) has most acurate pinpoint imageling? And with which filter (H1. H2, etc)? Please help me. I know it depends on headphones, i have HE1000SE.

Another update about the static noise: @Paul - iBasso responded quickly (as always) to my question(s) on this topic. I'm not going to quote his answer. But they haven't been able to reproduce the problem (yet). As a possible cause, Paul mentioned "artifacts" from the previous version and recommended a factory reset. In my case, that's probably not the root cause, since I always do one before and after an upgrade. Still... after a few resets, only some static noise is audible with AMP14, AMP15 is now completely silent. Pure speculation: the data partition (that's what gets erased during a factory reset) may not have been recreated correctly before. I also found a pattern: in my specific case, that static noise primarily applies to CDs (44.1 kHz) that I ripped with EAC some 15 years ago, and especially to tracks with lead-in silence. I'm pretty sure I never noticed it before the latest firmware update though.

Personal note: My previous post on this topic was not meant as a complaint, let alone to create a negative sentiment. Personally, I have not experienced significant problems with my DX340, apart from the aforementioned noise. I have never had any problems with charging (improved in version 1.01), nor have I experienced problematic Wi-Fi interference with AMP14 (some of my tweaks may be useful to those who do). And the support from iBasso has always been excellent. Now back to the music...

There was a weird issue with the DX320 that I do not recall was identified but doing many Recovery Mode resets fixed issues. @skcheng I will reach out and if you wish do a FW flash remotely. This will likely solve your strange glitches. Sounds like something is messed up with software.
