Better off buying direct of the site.

I paid around 293 AUD.. due to weaker dollar.

Ah, cheers mate.

I got this a few weeks ago to store all my music and it works wonderfully. Small, compact, fast, well designed, lots of storage, and good price too.

Thanks for the recommendation. This Sony USB drive looks really nice!
 

 
I also find the above WD My Passport Ultra to be quite slim... Fingers crossed hoping this will work with the OTG thing.................................
 
I believe most of us have multiple TBs.... of music files.....

Hey guys, is the DX50 even capable of powering a HDD?
 
Just a curious Head-Fi'er..I'm new to using HDD as a substitute for SDs

Not sure, i emailed them to ask this question and inquire about certified drives... Understand that they will be busy with the launch and such..
Hopefully, most of us will be able to find out by ourselves in next week or so

I emailed ibasso earlier about USB OTG, this is their reply: 
 
Hi,
Thank you for your email.
The DX50 can connect to external storage via OTG.
 
Sincerely
iBasso Audio
 
 
 
My email was more about wanting to know weather DX50 can be used with an external USB Dac, so this email doesn't say much regarding that. Probably will not be able to be used in such a way.

Looks as if I missed the initial rush to order!

Not necessarily a straight one-to-one trade. My situation is that I also have 901. So the key draw, and use case, for my ak120 is when I want to go really light, need 6+ hrs for long commute, or on days I m not sure I would have a lot of time to listen. Otherwise I find myself always picking up the 901. Therefore in my case it make sense to sacrifice some SQ and recoup 1k or so if dx50 can cut it. Or I ended up sending it to vinnie and keep it as a portable usb dac and transport.

All depends on how much SQ gap I find to see whether dx50 can really take ak120's spot for my usage.

Makes sense...now I am more tempted by 901...

I have this one too. Great looks.

It can. Just get a small External HDD and it should work.

For those who don't want to deal with DHL (that's who iBasso used to ship my D42) and their outrageous, uncalled for, criminal fees:  You can request EMS which is what I did this time.  I'm not sure how well it will work but anything to avoid DHL and FedEx.

Great stuff........
 
It is just a re cased Seagate, if i am not mistaken, which is all the better, as I find Seagate HDDs pretty reliable.........................

[size=13pt]1.5V rms for Line out should work well with most portable amps, right?[/size]

Ordered yesterday and have had a response from Ibasso to say that I'm in the first batch. Pleased with that and seems a reasonable price.
