Affordable? Check this out. I had my father purchase a few to use with his new MBP and they're absolutely fantastic.

I've not been able to get my clip zip to work with the 64 gd card from Sandisk. Also don't really care to rockbox on a non stable build of that software. 
 
Thanks though...

The Clip Zip has been listed as stable for Rockbox for quite a while now. I've been using it on my Zip since November of 2011.

Let me see if I have this straight. to mate a small mobile HDD to my DX 50 I would need a Micro USB B/Male to USB2.0 A/Female OTG Cable, specifically the cable pictured below. Correct?
 

Since we're talking small portable HDD's anyone got any recommendations on anything around the size of 256 to 500 GB's in size? I would want something built in such a way so it's shock proof and as tiny as possible. THIS looks rather promising but I'm worried it might be a little to big and defeat the purpose of being mobile. My kingdom for an affordable 256GB USB stick.

That is the right cable, yes. As for storage, the sweet spot seems to be 128gb USB keys at the moment. If you need more, I'd look at 320gb single-platter 2.5" drives. Maybe your best bet would be to find one optimized for low power usage in laptops, then find a USB enclosure to fit it in.

"Time Machine compatible." For some strange reason, I am very skeptical about this.. LOL.;

Well if you add a 320 HD, you find yourself with a DAP larger than the DX100, that does not sound as good and might have less battery, just to have greater capacity at a cheap price...not too convincing an offer is it
 
I would rather keep the portability factor and swith sd cards given that 64 micro sds are not so expensive...

Usually Ibasso send information about the shipment?

Doesn't sound as good based on what logic? And might have less battery? It's most definitely going to have less battery if it's spinning a platter around at 5,400RPM through the USB port.

Well there is no way that ibasso is going to put out a 239$ DAP that sounds as good as their TOTL 830$ DAP. So a DX50 will not sound as good as DX100. iBasso will tell you so if you ask them. Based on the logic of Descartes.
 
For the battery I have no clue. But adding an HDD will definitely shorten battery life significantly.

I thought ibasso declared the DX50 will be a non compromise DAP which will not be inferior sonically to the DX100.

Really? Do you have a link where they announced that? Would be awesome if that's true..

I don't remember iBasso make any such declaration, can you post a link please?

Well the DX100 is audibly transparent and all non wanted artifacts well below audible levels. I don't think the DX50 would fail to achieve that. I remember reading that it will be a non compromise DAP somewhere, I will dig around and find out where I read that.
