DX50 a new smaller DAP from iBasso. Spec. page 1. Impressions start on page. . .

Install thru PC? Lol

Plugged DX100 - OTG - external HD / USB hub with 2-3 128gb sticks = FTW

Anyway, should you be able to try it, I guess we should continue in the DX100 thread

Sorry for the off topic

Anyone knows if they are using android for the dx50?

 

[xnuthecaveman]

According to the first post, they decided not to use android

There won't be a storage "limit" as long as it can be powered....aka if the dx50 provides enough current to spin the drive or if the drive has an external power source. 
 
And looks like Sorenslim will be joining the dx50 family soon enough, hanging out in this thread far too much not to.=)

I'm gonna order it this evening, just because I kinda want to get one from the second batch... Chances of it sounding bad are almost nonexistent, I'm pretty sure it will sound better than my desktop sound-card or my cellphone...

No, the DX100 does not charge via USB and I'm not sure about USB OTG support either. But I do have a rooted DX100 on my desk, an OTG cable in my bag and some spare usb keys lying around. If only wifi worked, I would be able to install the USB OTG control apps needed to test this 

Just sideload the apps

this looks perfect for OTG connectivity...if only it has micro usb...

love the square design should go and fit nicely to the bottom of DX50, anyone else got/found similar item ?

I got a response from IBASSO and they say the DX50 can be used with and external 2.5" HDD...
I'm in second batch, shipped in two weeks.

It won't fit directly, the dx50 USB plug is a micro B female plug, this one is a USB A male. You need a micro A plug which is what the OTG is, the other end is USB female plug.

To conclude you'll plug the OTG cable first, then your device.

I hope I didn't mix the gender up

Aww... If there was android and wifi function kickstarter project lima would provide unlimited storage..
It'll be the perfect pairing with the dx100

 

[nihontoman]

I also ordered one. this will be my most expensive piece of audio gear as of now, so I'm excited

Hi all,
 
First post here, been lurking for a few days, and reading heavily to get some ideas for my first portable setup
 
I have already bought the Shure SE315s, the Fiio E12 AMP, and I had bought the iPod Classic 7th Gen, but Apple sent me a refurbished 6th Gen, so that is going back for a refund!
 
So I am now looking for a decent starter DAP to go with the equipment listed above, and I've only just seen the iBasso DX50 & the Fiio X3?
 
Could you kind people recommend the iBasso DX50?
 
Will I need the Fiio E12 AMP with the iBasso DX50?
 
Also, do we know yet what materials its made from, is it a metal case or plastic?  (I will read up on this thread now but 176 pages will take me a little while)

 
Thanks for any help you can give, and its great to be a part of a nice enthusiast community

Welcome to Head-Fi! Sorry for your wallet.

You will most likely not need the Fiio amp if you are using the DX50 with its built-in one.
The Shures are fairly easy to drive.

 

[nihontoman]

no one knows what it will be like. the case looks metallic to me (at least for the price, it should be metallic)
 
as for the amp, you shouldn't need it with iems in general...

 

[Gintaras]

guys, would someone tell me how Android Dx50 works when connect to Mac? I heard sometimes Android devices have problem with Apple?
