  I am on the newest FW 1.1.4 and noticed the following bugs:
 
- The L/R Balance seems swaped (if i turn it to the left, the sound becomes more focused on the right channel vice versa)
- the album artwork on the list view with the 2 columns is really pixeled, even tough the artwork on the playing screen looks fine and not pixeled)
 
Maybe that could get fixed.

Yes, I noticed the album art re-sampling issue. pretty ugly.

About 30 seconds long turning off time with the "See you" screen. Disappeared after factory reset.

Yesterday I have encountered something terrible in my DX80

Recently I have copied some FLACs to card1 through Cardreader mode.
card1: Transcend Premium 300x UHS-1 32GB FAT32 formatted (tested read speed is around 50~70MB/s)
Yesterday when I was listening those FLACs I heard some little "sparking" sound.
So I put it to computer cardreader find that read speed become terrible, so I thought it is due to bad card.
 
Today I brought another card, Kingston UHS-1 64GB exFAT formatted (tested read speed 60~80MB/s)
But "sparking" sound become much more terrible and nearly killing my ears...

Then I put it back to computer cardreader and play those music files, everything is normal.
I can't use dx80 now ...

Have you tried a factory reset? You could also reinstall the FW and do a factory reset.

I have factory reset twice after upgraded to 1.1.4.
if the system easy to get problem and need to factory reset again and again that also is a problem.
 
Now I'm testing with old 512MB microSD card with FAT32, without factory reset, it looks fine...
Hope you can make it more stable in the next firmware.
 
Previously I was mixing old 512MB card and 32GB/64GB card in DX80.  (microSD + SDHC/SDXC)
Will it also cause problem ?

I have used FAT32 and exFat in each slot with no problem. With regards to cards, I haven't had any problem with 1.1.4 from 32gb to 200gb.

@Paul I recently contacted ibasso customer services for my thump / pop noise issue they replied that they can make this issue gone but also make my dx80's Sq degraded, is that true?

what kind of cards you are using ?
brand, type, etc.
 
I have tried factory reset DX80 again,
re-format card and copy music files,
still got some skipping while playing, and sparking suddenly...
looks like reading problem in the system.

What you are hearing is a very low volume sound from the caps being used. If you are hearing a pop sound that is loud, that is something else. The capacitors are part of the design on the DX80. They can be altered but the overall sound will degrade some.

Some of the newer SDXC will do this. We are working on a fix for this problem in a FW update.

it's variable thump noise with my dx80 not loud enough actually, it's the loudest coming from both channels of my cans then one side, the lowest thump noise that I heard similar like electric noise and sometimes it's disappear
Are 2A charger can be used to charge this unit?

 

[mikeral]

Anytime I take my cards (128 GB SanDisk and 128 GB PNY, both latest models) out of the player and insert into card reader on Windows 7 windows reports something along the lines "corruption was detected, would you like to scan and fix. I select "yes" it then reports that issues were found and fixed in .audio

Yes a 2 amp charger will work without problem. The DX80 will only take what it needs so higher amperage chargers are not a problem.

It could be that Windows is detecting something that in its program looks like an error. Do the cards play ok in the DX80? Do they do this with any other dap?

Cards play Ok (except randomly stops playing and i have to hit play again..). I used same cards in cowon plenue p1 and fiio x5 2nd  and did not experience this issue. I'm on the latest FW and cards are extFat. I reformatted them twice (once just using windows format and then with SDFormatter) still same issue.

The random playing problem will be fixed in the next FW. I am not sure why there are errors showing up but I have passed this to the software team.
