Late on the Amp8, but man, oh man... sooo black. Exceptional sound with my DX150, worth the money. Listening with my HD600 and FDX1, fantastic, like having a different DAP.

Nice
How`s the battery life?

Haven't heard stock AMP8 but received my EX yesterday.

Sounds amazing out the box even compared to my AMP9. No distortion and TONS of power. Switched to low gain and 2/3 max volume is more than enough for the Elegia I got on Cyber Monday. My DX150 running Fidelizer 1.15.233 sounds even closer to my desktop setup (for a moment wondered if I wasted funds upgrading it last month).

Thanks @javre76 and @gr8soundz for your impressions.
Exactly I was hoping for

My hope also. Mango player and MangoOS. So software can match great hardware.

iBasso still sells DX150 and it would be great its fully supported.

Nope, staying with my current FW, no reason to update. Nothing in this list is worth it given the use that I have for me DX150.

Same here. I thought for sure they were adding Mango OS since it took 3 months (compared to all the other DX players) for them to release this firmware.

This DAP with amp 8 is incredible.

 

[yannis]

We all agree that this great DAP deserves better software.
Dear @Paul - iBasso - please bring MangoOS and player to DX150.
And you will have happy and loyal customers

Hallo. Wann erscheint das Update auf der internationalen Website? @Paul - iBasso

Hi,

after reading latest posts I decided to check whether there was an update of the firmware. I found latest one (June 2019) in Ibasso site also an update from Fidelizer. So I decided to try the latter. Previously I've been using Lurker's software on Oreo. So when I tried following Fidelizer's guidelines how to upload it, I had to firstly update to the latest version from Ibasso. I did it via sd card, but not sure if the update was successful since in the properties firmware version was still Lurker's. bu I decided to go with the fidelizer's update anyway.

Ant there all the fun began. Install was successful, but when DAP tried to boot it would reboot after 2-3 seconds still showing DX150 screen. And it was infinite, I waited for good 30 minutes hoping this was a part of the installation. Then I decided to do a reset, done it, but was unable to restore Lurker's soft. So I installed the first software version from ibasso site as I was advised previously. Update was "successful", I finally managed to boot my device, but touchscreen was not working properly. It activated different parts of my screen to the places I touched - for example I touch middle of the screen and icon at the top is being activated.

So I dig up a bit deeper and try to still upload another software image. I chose that Fidelizer image and now (again after "successful" installation) I cannot even start the device, it does not show in the USB of my PC, charging icon does not appear when cable is connected, emergency boot menu is inaccessible. Device seems dead.

Has anyone faced similar situation? How was it resolved?

touchscreen was not working properly. It activated different parts of my screen to the places I touched - for example I touch middle of the screen and icon at the top is being activated.

This usually happen if DX150 is flashed with the kernel from DX200. In your long text you never mentioned firmware numbers, so it might be that you messed not only with versions for DX150, but with firmware for DX200 as well.

If it was the case, it can be restored with a special software... but first you need to restore your firmware. A good start is full firmware image with Android 8.1 (Oreo) from iBasso site, bundled with AndroidTool. You may also try to seek for support from the author of firmware builds you tried

When (if) you'll have restored DX150 firmware to a working state, and the touchscreen would be the only remaining problem, you may use a mouse connected via USB for a while.

I've recalled the history. I've implemented the fix for DX150 touchscreen weird parameters into full flash firmware v.11.293-L0. This is Android 6 version. I don't know whether I can restore touch screen parameters under Android 8 firmware, so it's your only chance. Then you can upgrade to Oreo, as usual.

You can find the instructions how to flash it from the link above. It does not matter which firmware (or is there any firmware) in your DX150 right now But, before, be sure your DX150 is really turned off: disconnect DX150 from computer or charger, then press Power button, hold it for 10 seconds, then release.
