The Minister of Finance (Mrs Warth0g) has just, rather unexpectedly, given me permission to purchase a DX90. She doesn't understand why I need another DAP since I bought the DX50 relatively recently and it looks exactly the same.

Thing is, neither do I.. I was perfectly happy with my 50 but now I need a 90. Damn you Head-Fi!

Me too very happy with mine Dx50. Thus I am super exciting what Ibasso will do to Dx90..Lucky both dx90 and dx50 looks the same. As long as I make sure both DAPs dun show up together I m quite safe.lol

  This is actually my first DAP, can't wait to see how much better the sound quality is compared to my htc one which is my current dap and phone lol, going to pair it with my denon d2000's and my ciems the 1964 quads 

I think you'll be impressed with how much of an upgrade you'll be getting. I also have an HTC One. It's a fine phone but I never use it to play music since getting my DX50. I can only imagine how much of an upgrade the 90 will be

The same thing occurred to me.. decided to come clean, far too risky

Hi guys, does the DX90 use the exact same GUI and firmware as the DX50?
Does the DX90 support gapless playback?

 

[Ivabign]

  Agreed...

Perhaps an edit is in order.

Your minister of finance is quite scary for you not opting to take any risks

My wife doesn't know about my Roxanne or dx90.... She'll be home when the packages come.
This could get interesting

tell her it's your gift to her. Then ask her to if you can borrow it first.

Great idea! Then I'll act stupid when the iem are a perfect fit to my ears.

   I have heard the he-500's are fabulous!
I just bought a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 880's and am blown away with them, they are so so good -
All i can say is try to get to listen to as many different headphones as possible - in a good HiFi store.
It helps to know what type of sound one likes - then at least you can judge to a small degree what
you might like

Yes, I can vouch that the DT880 is very good, especially the 600-ohms variety.  I will, however, listen to the HE-500 and might get this one as well.

 

[warth0g]

I can vouch for the HE500 as I have a pair. I'm a big believer in bang for your buck, and the HE500s are the very definition of that. They sound magnificent with most forms of music, very involving, accurate, very good soundstage. Not the most comfortable (although you get used to them), not the most sexy looking and I haven't found them to be the greatest with classical music, although that might be the other components in the chain (my DAC/ Amp combo needs an upgrade).
 
But, no question, for any sort of popular music, jazz, vocals etc. they are magnificent, and punch way above their price bracket - much like the DX90 will - bringing it neatly back on-topic
