Regarding my previously described issue trying to get album cover art to display, I finally managed to get it to work. My workflow is as follows:
1) Load all the tracks into MP3tag, select them all and use the contextual menu that pops up over the album art to remove the overly large embedded album art.
2) With all the tracks still selected, click Save.
3) Use the pop-up menu in the album art area to load the smaller album art file (all tracks still selected).
4) Again, with all tracks selected, click Save.
It goes without saying that it's best to do this on COPIES of your music files so that if they become corrupted, you still have the originals.
So, this is going to be something that needs to be done with some music downloaded from HDTracks.com. Some of their commercial downloads have embedded album art that is nearly 1500 x 1500 pixels, which obviously won't display properly on the DX80.
 
By the way: I never was able to get album art loaded as a separate file in the album folder to display at all, no matter what I tried to name it. Not sure why that won't work for me!

That's what I did too. To display cover using album folder, just save a jpg file in the desired folder. I call it cover.jpg

Unfixed:
 
When starting a song from an album in the "Album" tab, the playlist is properly populated in album order, as before. Fine. But, after powering down, when you power back up, the playlist repopulates in alpha order. Not fine. This means, of course, that if you are listening to an album in this manner, and you need to take a break from listening, your songs will be all out of order when you come back and power back up. 
 
 
Please fix this.

Yes, that problem in the latest firmware has been encountered by a number of us on this forum. Hoping for a fix in the next version.

This is extremely weird! I don't know why I can't get a separate jpg cover image in the album's folder to display album art on the DX80, but at least it works for me when I re-embed lower resolution art in the FLAC file via mp3tag!

Probably not a software issue but has anyone had it stuck in Lineout mode? Nothing plugged into it and inserting plug makes no difference as does software updates, reboots,  and factory resets

Sorry, haven't seen that one! Hope you get it sorted out soon!

Had the same problem with battery discharge when off. Sent to repair in warranty. Came back with "Logic Board Replacement" note...

Hello, Im a new dx 80 7ser and just got mine 2 days ago. Im experiencing excessive background noise with my 12 ohm audio technica ath e40. This issue gets even more prominent when in dac mode. Should I get a replacement?

 

[pholcus1975]

Low impedance high sensitivity iem or headphones suffer from bg noise and hiss. I experience the same with my re600-s. Simply because dx80 amps are too powerful for such easily drivable gears. I suggest not to replace it.search dx80 3ds, you will find questions and answers about hiss.

iBasso DX80 (latest FW) at 98%, I leave home, put DX80 in my pocket (screen off) listening to The Weeknd's last alum (AAC 320) on my Angie's (vol 102 low gain). An hour later I come home with 78%.

Are you listening to music continually the whole time? Do you turn the screen on and off at all?

8 hours isn't terrible, but probably an hour or two short of the maximum I've seen. FWIW.

You should be getting around 11 hours. We will cover you if the battery needs replacement. How long have you had the DX80 and how many hours did you get after the first few charges? I don't know the current draw of the Angie but it shouldn't be too bad.
