  Tried it, it is very interestingly implemented (Recovery Menu), when you touch the co-axial output jack with your headphone connector, the menu gets highlighted and goes down on each attempt, when you flip hold switch the selection goes upward, pressing power button activates it, I tried rebooting this way and it worked well.

 

That is very interesting!

That looks Android-ish....not that that is a bad thing.

They told me "We will also complete the recovery on the next firmware update."

As I said in the other thread, the DX50 firmware is based on Android (
http://www.head-fi.org/t/679473/ibasso-dx50-appreciation-thread-2nd-batch-shipped/555#post_9787084)
 
I believe Rockship provides an Android SDK to create image (rkimage) compatible with their CPU, and iBasso used those sdk images as a base to create the DX50 firmware, but almost every Android libs has been removed, their isn't any APK left, and the player (mango player) was created from scratch.
 
I might try to modify / create a new player but I'm waiting for the new firmware to have backup solution in case I do something wrong

Got my unit today. Can't play any files. I am using ALAC and WAV ripped through Itunes on Mac. Very disappointed. I guess, I am going to stick with my RWAK100 and return this one.

Damn, still no playlist option...

I thought I had just bricked mine. The update itself seemed to have gone through properly, but I never got the option to factory reset. The main screen restored for a second and then went back to the basic ibasso load screen, flickered a little occasionally and nothing else. I eventually reset it, removed the battery etc. with no luck. So I followed the suggestions on the previous page on how to break into recovery mode and reset from there, that did the trick.
 
Reprinting here to save time in case anyone else runs into the same issue:
 
1, press and hold both of the power button and the Vol + button for 5 seconds, then release it.
2, you will entry the blue recovery mode.
3, you can use your 3.5mm headphone jack to touch the coaxial jack and flick the hold switch to operate on this recovery mode.
4, select the wipe date/factory reset (click the power button to select)
