Can anyone confirm if there is a file limit (maximum number of tracks in database) with the dx160 ?

For practical purposes, I don't think there is. I have a 1tb card with over 40,000 songs and it is fast and loads in less than 15 minutes (scans). Someone posted here that they had 70,000 or so, from what I remember. It is more the size of artwork that can cause a problem is it is too large, which just takes up room that can be used for music anyway.

I see that on the iBasso FB, they have a new FW for the DX160. Loading it now. 1.0.3. Has support for Amazon Ultra HD I think.

Yes, it will play 24/192 now. Playing a song now that is 24/96 and the DX shows at the top of the screen that it will play 24/192. Good stuff! Sounds really good. lol

Thanks, that's good to hear!

My Project is done: i have converted my total collection to mp3 320kbps and loaded it to a 1tb micro SD card.
Now i have about 79000 Tracks running on my Dx160.
This is running with power amp almost to perfection.
Reading time of the library about 15 minutes..

For comparison, USB audio player pro took almost one day and even after that it took almost forever if you want to choose any track... I have deinstalled it, due to this, and due to lack of support.
Also mango player and hiby could not handle this amount of files properly as per my experience.

Actually there are some restrictions in performance..

1. Power amp is the only player who I was able to get running with this number of files. ALL other players either stuck when initial reading or are unable to handle any lists (album, artists) afterwards. If someone has experience I'm happy to share experiences.. Reading the sd card for the first time takes about 15 to 20 minutes for Poweramp.
2. There are extended waiting times when using categories in poweramp (album, artist, All Files) I posted this on poweramp forum hoping for improvement..
For example.. Triggering the category list "All Files" takes about 190 seconds to load.

Mango was unable to scan my 512GB Samsung card with ~12,000 FLAC files. I prefer and am using UAPP so not a huge deal for me. Some other users have suggested I have some file tagging issues but I am not sure what I would be looking for in a program like MP3tag to address the issue.

You have something on your card causing an error then, as you note. I have been using the same songs for a long time, well added new ones from HD Tracks etc., and no issues with scanning. The 1tb almost full, goes on without an issue.

Well... Um.. I did just order the last blue one.. Sorry.

Anyone looking in uk/or Europe...amp3 has both colours in stock, and if you look around you will easily get a discount code of 10 maybe 12 percent . Brings the price down to around £310.
Nice.

Does the DX160 have a proper line-out? Seeing that the SE, SPDIF and LO share the same output, I'm guessing it doesn't.

Ok, been running my dx160 since 7.30 this morning, screen off and it's now 11.45 so 4 hrs 15 mins of continuous play playing various 16 bit & 24 bit flac mostly...used 37% battery, now that's pretty damn good....honestly I'm liking this dap more and more.

 

[majo123]

Also playing amazon hd music flawlessly.


Really impressed with this dap overall.

Edit...bit of a battery eater though, will do a timing test tomorrow.

I tested the 3.5mm line out, and it is excellent performances as I already posted many pages ago. Sometimes searching the key words may be better than assuming which could also misleads other readers ? Just my 2 cents

Telling me that the 3.5 mm line out has "excellent performance" does not address my question.

I don't think you know your circuitry and therefore you don't understand what I'm saying.

SO I REPEAT for you, and read carefully this time before you answer, so that you don't appear like an arrogant know-nothing :

Seeing that the SE, SPDIF and LO SHARE the SAME output---does the DX160 have a PROPER, i.e. A TRUE, line-out?

FYI, because it appears that you don't know-- a true line-out would completely bypass the headphone amp circuits... Just my two cents.

Whitigir has tried telling you that it does have a line out. It would not be marked as a line out if it was not. It bypasses the internal amp and comes off of the DAC output as a true line out. I hope we can all be civil to each other.

Same old bitching going on girls, glad I’m out !!!!
