Impedance only matters for waveguides, i.e. conductors with a length comparable with the signal wave length. S/PDIF transmits signals with maximum frequency of 12MHz (for 192kHz sample rate, 32 bits, stereo), meaning, with wave length more than 15 meters. So, for a cable less than 1 meter, the impedance does not matter at all.

So, for a [coaxial] cable less than 1 meter, the impedance does not matter at all.

+1, that's also my experience, having soldered quite a few coaxial IC cables (3.5 mm to 3.5 mm, 3.5 mm to RCA) without 75 Ohm resistance but just the plugs and cable.

Don't worry, the FiiO cable you bought is more than sufficient and a "real" short coax cable won't have any additional benefit.

Still enjoying my DX80 but looking for a new IEM to pair it with.  I was looking into the SE846 but a bit worried about the hissing.
 
I can hear it when the track starts but its not noticeable when the music starts playing so I don't think it would bother me too much.  Besides the hiss do people think this is a good pairing with each other?  I also have a DX90 which seems to be hiss-free as well but I much prefer the UI/screen/battery life of the DX80.

Personally I've been enjoying Tralucent Ref.1 these last few days. DX80 offers great level of detail and I much prefer to use DX80 UI and screen, you know... the newer toy, but for some reason the Ref.1 simply sit better with my old DX50, wider stage, greater presence of air in the presentation, little less detail overall. It's purely a synergy thing though, I prefer Ref.1 with DX50 over Cayin N6 and Pono player.

Dx90 is better combo with 846, mojo is best with 846

Has anyone tested the function USB DAC with Foobar2000 with dsd image music? I have TEAC DSD DAC and know how set up it but DX80 (last fw) cant play in native dsd or dop. diff/dsf played without problem.

Hi, I just got my dx80 and I can't figure out how it handles long track names. Is there an option to have the names scroll? Essentially all my track names of classical music are cut off. If there is no such option, I hope a future firmware upgrade will add it!

You can drag the title with your finger.

You can drag the title with your finger.

This only works for the track which is currently playing, not in the menus where you choose a track/an album.
 
Also, when I go to "Music Info", either from the track list, or from the currently playing display, the tags are cut off, even though half the screen is empty.

Is dsd significant better than 24/96 is it *audiable)?

Have you installed ASIO and SACD plugin? SACD should be selected as the output device.

Nice pairing this evening with the DX80, Magni2 and Shure 1540's. Really enjoyable session.

I'm using DX80 with SE846, & the pairing is good enough for me.  With the 3 filter choices of SE846, you have a bit more room to tune it to your liking.
 
About the hiss, I didn't notice it during demo probably because the environment wasn't quiet enough.  Once I noticed it, feels like the hiss is always there.  Still trying to get over it.

Ota of clicks, pops and thuds when I go from song to song.... Pretty ridiculous, is this issue ever going to get attention?

 

[Splutje]

That issue has had a lot of attention here in this thread and the 2 other major DX80 threads. 
Ibasso DX80
iBasso DX80 Bug Thread - Post Any Firmware Bugs/Issues Here
The short version: Ibasso has stated that its a hardware issue, inherent to the use of Cirrus Logic chips(?) , wont be solved by FW. Some experience the thuds/plops, some don't. some hear it louder, some hear it softer; might have to do with sensitive iem, or not. The quality of the SD-card might also be involved. Some differences in thud/plop between FW's have been reported though.
