Disregard my post below.
Tried on my Windows 10 Laptop and it worked. For some reason my Windows 10 Pro desktop wouldn't.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Tried to install Lurker's firmware but on step 13 where it says :

13. Press and hold the Play/Pause, and connect the DX200 to the computer again. Release the Play/Pause after you see the area 3 turns to blue color, and the device type will show “loader”.

In area 3 I don't notice anything turn blue. I can't seem to install the firmware, not sure where I'm going wrong.

Any suggestions?

We are on track for the release of the AMP7 and AMP8 for the DX200 and DX150. I think many will enjoy the music very much with these amps.

I will have the specifications to place here very soon. For the AMP8 the power output is 1.2 watts. The measurements are extremely good so I think people will find that both amps are very quiet with an excellent noise floor and fast providing dynamics to complement the music.

One feature I actually really enjoy from Tidal on this device is that when you're listening the album art of the current song is set to be the background on the lock screen.

Would love to see this feature for Mango player too, maybe even with a little more info (artist/song/album etc).

Just a thought..

Hey everyone. New DX150 owner here. I'm comeing from a DX200. I have a question about Mango player. On the DX200 there is a Android app Mango player and a stand alone mango player. Does anyone know why iBasso didn't include the standalone Mango player on the DX150?

Paul-Will the Amp modules be available directly through iBasso's website?

I let a friend borrow my DX150 for a couple of days, which then turned into a couple of weeks. His focus lately has been updating the speakers around his house and especially his home theater system. He tried the DX150 through inexpensive headphones, middle of the road headphones, one of the Sony wireless models, and through his home theater setup. He came back to me with several comments about how he never really appreciated how important a good source was. :) Then he started looking around at other DAPs and comparing features and prices but soon came back to the DX150 as meeting all of his needs. No doubt iBasso has another fan now and I'd expect a new member of the iBasso owner's club soon.

It's great to see the look on someone's face when they get to hear a new perspective on music they've listened to for years and thought they knew intimately. It almost offsets the guilt you feel for the additional pressure on their wallet. :)

I saw it on his desk about a week ago and asked if he was done with it yet and he said "Not yet. Just consider that proof of life." LOL
