Thank you. I did read that. But I wanted to get opinions from others as well.

Hi guys, first post here,

got my used dx160 yesterday ( written 2018 on the back, so I suppose it's a 2019 model ), very happy with it so far, flashed Lurker mod too. I am probably going to send it to Ibasso in China for the buffer upgrade, they were very quick to answer, I was expecting a couple days waiting for an email answer, it took them 4hours... impressed by that.

Quick questions though, I read maybe 200 pages of this thread but was not able to find the answers to:

- using HiByMusic, scanning a sdcard takes only 4081 songs ( all my music, a mix of flac and mp3 ). MangoPlayer seems to have found 4107 songs, same as MangoOS. Is it normal or did I do something wrong ? [EDIT: found the issue, the difference, I had a few m4a files which I suppose are not being read by HiByMusic].

- If I send the device back for audio buffer upgrade, should I also ask them to change the battery or something else ?

Thanks !

Well you should get the battery changed if you are sending it.. i mean i would since on my 2020 edition i have started getting battery problems

On that subject, I think I do have the tool to service it on my own. Though I wonder how I should start at finding the replacement battery for it.

Be careful I think you can't send an item with battery to China.

Thanks everybody,

Battery seems to be not too bad, using Tidal ( v2.35 so I can play everything instead of not being able to play HiFi quality with the latest version ), it seems to be about 9% an hour. Using local files seems to be about the same.

Might as well get a fresh new battery though, make sense.

My main idea behind sending it for buffer upgrade is it seems the new buffer allows a bit more current to run, which could potentially benefit the akg k712 I use with it most of the time. Maybe I am wrong though, they do sound great with it anyway.

Hello everyone. We will have a FW coming out but it will be a little while before it is out. I don't have a definition of a little while because there are always things with FW that have to be worked through and as soon as you do one thing, it something messes up something else so a lot of debugging of the debugging FW. But it will be happening.

Hello Paul - iBasso
If you read this: In almost eight weeks the year will be history. What about the announced firmware update? Can we still expect that this year?

Be careful I think you can't send an item with battery to China.

I think you have a point there but then if something happens to the device how are we supposed to RMA it. Catch 22!

I've a answer from Paul - iBasso via e-mail:
I have to check with the software team to see where they are on this. Any particular issues that you have found?

Muchas gracias MariusAB.
Instalé la actualización de Lurker y así pude instalar UAPP. Estaba conectando Tidal desde allí. También probé una versión antigua de Tidal, 2.27. Ahora voy a intentar instalar los que me está diciendo.
Gracias de nuevo.

Thank you so much Man47. I'm going to try it.

Guys.....
Anyone knows if DX160 (2020 version) supports APTX adaptive mode for Bluetooth connection???
Planning to buy Fiio UTWS5 over hook true wireless receivers but.... I cannot confirm yet if it's supported either from DX160 or Hiby R5....

Thoughts on DX160 vs Cayin N5ii/S? Sound only (balanced vs balanced or SE vs SE).

DX160 blows the N5ii away

DX160 blows the N5ii away

In what way? I'm looking at N5ii for it's ethereal take on vocals and treble. Would DX160 be more focused on midrange solely? Balanced being quieter than SE on DX160 is intriguing.
