my iems are 200 euros,ok??? just searc for DENON wich is a great brand by the way,AH-C300 these are duble driver iems,11mm drivers,for bass,which ibasso does not have.
200€, dual driver and known brand name doesn`t make IEM certainly good one. There are lot of other IEMs with better SQ with lot cheaper price. We already discussed it in another thread. Read some reviews about those IEMs, they are not great. Boosted bass (especially sub-bass) which lacks in accuracy and definition. Also lack of mids. They are far from good balanced sound. Now, with all those upgrades made to DX50 (which makes it more balanced, controlled, clear, open large soundstage, better separation and transparency, better imaging) ...combined with those Denons ...well, no wonder You don`t like what You hear. Especially when You have been used to sound out of galaxy S3 or whatever smartphone that was You liked. Your reference point of hi-fi sound is off and this hi-fi sound that most of us are after in here is probably not for your taste. You don`t like the way DX50 sounds (even after modding) ...fine, your subjective opinion and we respect that but don`t go around telling it`s the worst mistake You have done and it`s sounds bad and wrong etc. when You have different sound reference point and goal. We recommended You to try other IEM`s to get better match - no, You just told they are 200€ (which by your opinion makes them certainly hi-fi sound and great ones) and didn`t even consider trying other stuff. We recommended You to sell it and keep enjoying what You had before or try other DAPs. No, instead You rushed into mods without any knowledge. You didn`t even let those caps properly burn in (for example my DX50 LO caps that had littlebit harsh highs for me have now settled down and are very detailed, sparkly and open). Not to mention about HO caps which You certainly didn`t let burn in and compare properly. And then those other mods... doing everything at once without acknowledging about differences each mod does. All those mods also require burn-in.
I don;t like to hear music from 10 streets away and I don't like echo sounding.
This is probably open large soundstage You are experiencing but there is no "echo sounding". Only thing with that "echo" is probably You are now experiencing how reverbs and echoes should be inside music, not congested in small soundstage "inside" your headstage.
this player,just does not deliver the sound as a you hear it from a sound system,in fact it is so different from all other players,and I'm not talking about the quality of the music it's just how it reproduce it.listening to song from yamaha and jbl with my eyes closed,and I feel like I'm in the studio with the band,and listening to the same song on ibasso,I'm feeling like I'm in hall,the band playes live on a stage that is far far behind me.I'm looking at a wall,and the music is behind me.I can't explain better!
Have You thought that maybe Your sound system is also not so well defined, balanced and with large soundstage, better separation/transparency and imaging?
DX50 so different from all other players? What all players? Examples please? In DX50 thread one guy did blind A/B/C switch test with some other well known quality hi-fi DAPs (Fiio X5 and AK100mkII) and
could not make noticeable difference between them! Btw, he used
Sound Unlocked 1.3.3 @ lossless/IIr off/CPU default. Check his post: http://www.head-fi.org/t/679473/the-ibasso-dx50-thread-latest-firmware-1-6-0/16140#post_11235862
Again, it`s probably Your reference point about hi-fi sound that is off.
DX50 reproduces music very well. And that "live on stage" is probably again the open large soundstage You are experiencing. If You don`t like it then You are probably more type of intimate close sounding soundstage with less depth in front and "back". I warned You about capacitor upgrade and that You might not like that sound signature. Did You listen? No.
the thing that matter to me the most,is that even with cowon j3,the music was here,not there,and I don't like this sound signature,I don't want echo in my music,I want the same sound as you put a cd a push play,the music is there,is present!
Again, it`s about soundstage I talked above.

maybe it's just me,maybe it's my fault,maybe it's this stupid thing that got broken
Probably yes.
if you just want to help me,please tell me were I can repair it,as I want to save it,and sell it.
First thing is to contact with iBasso and ask if they are willing to repair modified unit and how much it will cost with shipping.
I feel so bad about this,and really hope to get some of my money back,and I was really thinking of selling it today,and get the dx90,which from some reviews I've read today,does not compare with this one.
Yes, DX90 is certainly better but actually some ppl say that difference is not so big. DX90 should be even more balanced and open sounding. You probably will be disappointed again.
Your reference point about hi-fi SQ is probably off and You should just accept the fact that this kind of sound is not for You. 2 options - just stick with players and sound signature You like or let Your brain/ears adjust to this new kind of sound signature and learn to appreciate it.
please help,instead of judging me,we're not all the same,we don't like the same things,we don't even listen to the same kind of music,and what I listen does not sound so good to me from ibasso!
We tried to help. Problem is more likely in yourself, you just need to realize and accept some facts.
also,I know what I'm telling,I record concerts from the band I listen,I have over 40 concerts taped till now,and maybe more than 200 that I've seen and not in one country,
Record with what? how? What format? What are You using to reproduce it? Your Yamaha receiver? In 7.1 mode or Source Direct stereo? What speakers? what room size and speaker placement? Do You even understand that comparing that system with DX50 + IEMs doesn`t make real sense?
and I know when the sound is good or bad
This is VERY subjective perspective and doesn`t make You ears the truth!
I`m tired of commenting your posts and
it`s the last one (Lol, I failed)... just wan`t ppl to take your subjective off-reference opinion with grain of salt.
Only part I agree with You (and some others) is that stock DX50 has
littlebit weak/loose bass/percussion punch, but that`s all... with upgraded caps this "fault" is removed. I might do some other upgrades in future also (though I don`t feel/hear the need for it atm) and will keep this thread updated about it.
