How does it behave with low impedance iems? I have TFZ Exclusive King of 12 ohms and Fiio Fh7 of 16 ohms ...

I've got 16 ohm iems and it's whisper silent for both outputs. And there's this from headphonics

Some people have reported wifi noise though. So I'd say the audio circuit is really clean since he's getting no hiss even on Solaris. But like I said some people report scratching sound when messing with the screen with wifi on- so it could be prone to EM interference. I don't have that problem myself.

Desperate for help here, my dx160 just arrived and the first thing I did was update using OTA. It is now bootlooping nonstop. Are there any instructions on recovering? I cannot find anything anywhere, I did see a firmware image from earlier posts, but I have no idea what to select in safe mode. I put in a request with B&H but it would be preferable if i didn't have to return and could just fix it myself(I do have android experience)

Thanks!

Question about memory cards. Is there a certain spec I should use? I am using a Transcend 64GB microSDXC UHS-1 card with a max read speed of 60MB a second and it takes a long time for the DX160 to access and read the card. It has about 1900 mp3's on it. Thought I would try it to burn in and try out the DX160.
Do I need a faster card?

I just bought this 512 GB Samsung one and it is working great:

UHS1 should be fine. What is the card's format? I still use FAT32 because it works in most devices. Unsure what format(s) iBasso recommends.

Perhaps you should format the card in the device and then transfer songs on to it and see if it's faster. I'm guessing it's formatted as fat currently

The card is formatted in ExFAT. I will try formatting the card in the device and see if that helps.

ExFAT should work properly imo. All my cards are formatted the same.

I am trying another card. I could not format the card I was using in the device. I tried another card and it formatted right away, so maybe the original card I was using is defective.
Try running a scan and repair of the card in windows to see if it sorts the card out.

On another subject, I tried my Plantronics Backbeat Pro SE with the devices bluetooth and the only time it really cut out on me was when I went to another room and the signal had to pass through 3 interior walls. It cut out very briefly so I will have to try the bluetooth connection some more.

Interesting. Does the Plantronics use APTX-HD, or LDAC ? Those codecs use more bandwidth and usually reduce the bluetooth range.
