Compared to my DX80 my DX150 feels like beta test model
1, clicks and pops when changing to different album irrespective of codec
2, after starting - there is 3-5 second delay from pressing play to music starting
3, scrolling is useless - either stutters about 1/3rd of a page or suddenly whizzes through 3-4 pages
4, response is terrible - almost always have to press 2-4 times to get it to recognise
5, Line out is not line out - if anything it is less 'powerful' - both level and sound quality than phones out - LO should be full 100% power
6, it gets too warm whatever `i play
7, updating using whatever methods is a real chore and rarely works perfectly 1st time
NB: currently using mango player only + lurker to get more battery life
As others state the player sounds fine BUT for £500 it is disgraceful and is pretty close to being not fit for purpose
Frankly surprised and disappointed in iBasso. A company I have respect for :/
Personally as well - to only have 1 slot for sd card - for £500 is a joke. I had to buy a 400Gb card :/ - The amp it ships with is warm and dull sounding so you basically have to
purchase another amp to get a balanced good sound
I feel a loyalty to iBasso but although I like the sound of this player. These issues do leave a bit of an unpleasant taste in my mouth. Maybe they just want to focus on the DX200 - which costs serious money
To be fair, I should add that Im using Lukers mod [maybe this is where some faults lie? although past experience has been that Lurkers mods are a stripped down version and as such do not add anything but 'should' improve battery life and to some degree, funcionality] as all I want is a player - I dont want to use android or to stream compressed stuff from online
In this sense I would have thought the lurker Mango only player would improve the player? :/
