Fair enough, headwhacker. I always appreciate your wisdom on the forum, and I agree that between stock Mango FW, Lurker's mods and Rockbox we are lucky to have options to use with the DX90. Great DAP, great FW choices to pick from.
Best.

[size=12.72px]I've been curious about the LP5, its one really weird dap, really want to know how it sounds lol, I have a feeling it will sound good for some reason. Ask if your friend will[/size] write a review of the LP5 and post here please! Also ask him to include direct comparison to your new / his old DX90 + 2.1.5 L2! And if you can compare them both yourself also, as two pairs of ears are better than one, we can get a good idea of what the LP5 is about with two peoples impressions. There is literally only a single review of the LP5 and its in Chinese and impossible to tell how it actually sounds as there is very little description with no comparisons. So I'm excited that your friend got an LP5!

FYI, LP5 has been returned by my friend who tried it several times in China. He said it is not better than the DX90 with modded fw, but the UI is really confusing on the LP5. For that money, he said he would get the HM901 or add more to get AK240. I do not have the details, but it seems like he is disappointed about LP5. He is now after some king blurr brown players, like the Plenue P1 and Lotto Paw Gold.

Good to know! I feel that DX90+2.1.5L2 is really in the very top tier of sound quality competing with the big brick daps, just with less power in the amp section, but still more power than the AK daps, and according to Mike at headphonia, DX90 amp section even has a much lower noise floor than the AK240!

I doubt he said that anywhere as Mike hasn't been reviewing for the last year, but prove me wrong

I have a lot of DAPs and the AKs have lower noise than the DXs

I just checked, it was Nathan who said it, at the end of the AK240 review on Headphonia, my bad for assuming it was Mike!

 

[Ultrainferno]

Nathan, Shigzeo is known to be the Hiss King around here. He's very sensitive to that.  I think he even has some numbers on his Ohm website that prove it, yet I can't hear it :/

How do you know ak240 has lower noise than dx90? By ear i assume ?
 
as you already said you can check the measurement at ohmimage or headphoniak for more complete review

 

[Ultrainferno]

Of course, by ear. I never trust measurements alone to be correct

I had a Ibasso D7 and just got the DX90.  It is just amazing how quiet it is and how much more info the DX90 provides.  I have Windows 7 x64 and I setup the USB DAC driver in my computer.   I am also using the Lurker 2.1.5L2, which I find pretty good.   Maybe somebody can help me on this question.   When I start the Windows and the DX90 is set on DAC, the computer can detect the device if it is on (and I can actually see the mango as the speaker in output device) but no sound comes for instance in Foobar until I unplug and plug back the micro USB cable.  In the D7, the device is automatically detected after the boot.  Any way to bypass this unplug and plug of the cable?

It's the same for me.

HELP, HELP, HELP
 
Only 3 days ago I received my DX90, have tested music files on the internal drive as I have no SD cards yet. After deleting files, the drive did´t release space, so I formatted the internal drive on my Mac. Now the drive does´t show up anymore and when I connect the USB cable, there is no connection icon on the DX90 display. Tried everything that I found in this forum. Am also trying this, but can´t find the downloads:
 
Please format the DX90 in FAT32 format.
The following is the batchtool, you can use it to fully format the DX90 and reload the firmware.

I didnt add the instruction into it.  So, please refer to the instruction in the DX50's batch tool.
http://www.ibasso.com/download/RKbatchtool_for_DX50.zip
 
The following is the DX90's firmware.

Can anybody help?
 
Thanks in advance

Never format DX90's internal storage. Especially on Mac. You were not getting back the space after deleting it on Mac is because you do not empty the trash bin before you disconnect DX90. 
 
iBasso made an overall change on there site. The download link changed a bit. But you need to run the batch tool on a Windows PC.

You are a treasure headwhacker, many thanks. Now I have to find a windows computer to reflash, I hope that works.
Many thanks.

I have Parallels on my Mac and run the batch tool on the Windows side. Works well. But of course you have to buy Windows 7, 8.1 or whatever is the newest. I run 7 but I understand that Microsoft has stopped selling it.

I stll use my old Windows XP image over vmware. Still works every time I needed to run something on Windows. (Which isn't a lot or nil nowadays). If you have an old Windows CD lying around, it should be good enough.
