Do you have other electronic / electric devices in the vicinity ? I have found that it might affect the DX100...

No.

I get the same thing every once in a while too. Seems most common when I either touch the sides or rotate it.

Also something else I noticed. The DX100 makes headphone/IEMs that have volume control sound recessed really really far back in the mids, unless you hold in the play/pause button on the volume control. Anybody else experience this? Something figgie might consider looking into.

What?
 
Mids sound recessed unless you press play/pause and then change volume? I don't understand this. Can you elaborate?

 

[Randall DZM]

It's just something odd I noticed with IEMs and headphones which have a volume control thing on the cable. If you don't hold in the play/pause button on the volume control unit (on the cable)

http://www.logitech.com/assets/45902/3/ue-900-headset.jpg so like on the blue cable you have to press and hold the middle button (the play/pause button) for the sound to come out properly. Where with the black cable there is no problem since it doesn't have the volume control unit.

Test it out if you have some headphones/IEMs with volume control.

Or maybe there's a reason for the bad rep those inline controls get here on the forums? 

 
The DX100 doesn't support input through the headphone output (to the best of my knowledge) so there's no possible way it could affect the DAP.

That's gotta be the cable, not the DX100...

I want nothing between the DX and the transducers. As little as possible in the signal path for me. I do not get recessed mids with anything I own or have tried.

 

[Jpfe8851]

I haven't noticed anything that effect with anything I own. Gonna change out some cables and see though. Have you had that with other IEMs or HPs than the ue900?

I use AKG K3003i which have an inline volume control, doesn't affect the sound in the slightest. Sounds like yours may be faulty.

 

[Randall DZM]

It has happened on anything i've tried with inline volume control. B & W C5, UE900 (blue cable), V-moda crossfade, some no name brand IEM with inline volume control. All my other IEMs/headphones work fine with it. (LCD-2, RE0s. Grado SR60i's, etc)

Do you use a 6.35mm adapter? I find that the 4-pole 3.5mm plug can be picky about being pushed too far into the adapter, can cause the mids to disappear if pushed in slightly too far. Fine in the 3.5mm socket. I just use the 4-pole to 3-pole adapter supplied with the IEMs with the 6.35mm adapter. I unplug the iems a lot so dont use the 3.5mm socket to avoid wear.

 

[Randall DZM]

I was using the 3.5mm socket. No adapters. I will use an adapter and try the 1/4" jack
