If this is under $200, I;ll be thinking of it instead of X3.

Don't worry, my inside info says it will cost 20 USD and you can pick one up at your local 7 11 by the end of this month. If you're willing to spend an extra 5 big ones the 7 11 merchant will sell you a special very limited edition 7 11 branded DX50. On top of that you'll also get a free slurpee and a hotdog.

I might get both!

3 wishes please
 
1. Long battery life (at least 20 hours on a single charge)
2. Should drive basic audiophile iems (W4R, EX1000 etc)
3. No rquirement for amping and dacing to other souces
 
It should work as is!

 
That's --> http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/31/cowon-d20-launches-in-japan-keeps-mp3-players-alive/
 
LOL
 
A lot of people hate the C2 (now D20) UI but they don't mind using the crappy HiSound/HifiMan interfaces... (yuck!).
I'm pretty happy with my C2, will wait for price to drop on the D20 and probably get it. After trying and being underwhelmed with the HiSound Studio DAP, I'm not spending more than $200 on a player...

So the question will be, is the DX50 an "upgrade/downgrade" on the DX100? Any guesses on the price? Anything close to the DX100's price and it'll be out of the running for me

I doubt it is here to overtake the DX100. They are just answering everyone's wishes regarding a smaller, more portable DAP with less power. Which is efficient at driving all IEMs while still having good battery life and sound quality. So I'd assume it would be cheaper than the DX100 but not necessarily half the price.

Meh. I could deal / consider anything around 400 USD. Anything higher is pushing it for me. I've started lugging the T1 along with me and enjoy it, and could potentially deal with another DAP. I don't want to have to connect/disconnect my phone all the time so I could, in theory, justify getting something at some point. Will wait on the DX50 to see what happens.

Good news (maybe?) ibasso website is down, this could mean they are adding the product info for the DX50?

We, The Ibasso Faithful, know this happens a lot. They have outages.

LOL, yes, I can recall this happening a number of times in the run-up to the DX100, and each time it had nothing to do with an update, just, as you say, a random outage.
 
But that's not intended to distract from the enthusiastic spirit of audionewbi's post - lord knows, we'd all be very happy if it really is because of adding the DX50 to the website!

Agreed - I'd love to se the DX50 featured on the website when it came back up!
