It is the amplifier switching on, it's a good thing. It's a one off sound bump, calm down people.

The EQ causing a volume dip is normal to avoid clipping. It is the same on other non iBasso players too.

Thanks mate, not a biggie, just need to change plans about the portable amp and get one with some bass boost, which is not easy in the $500 range.

Cayin C5, great amp with bass boost. Reasonable price too.

With the application usb audio player pro the EQ don't change the volume however.

what good things is that ? I already use device at same pricing line as this never got thump when song's change or pressing button, except for cheap 2.1 speaker systems

how do you connect dx80 to mojo

Yes this is because this application is not preventing clipping.
If you want to have an EQ that does not distort when you boost frequencies you have to give some extra headroom approx. the same amount of the maximum selectable dB boost amplitude.
Its not a bug, its a feature.
There is no other way to keep the volume at the same level and keeping enough headroom to prevent distortion when boosting frequencies.

Also, does anyone know when the next FW comes out?

If they too hurry to made new fw then it's just like fixing minor bugs but also caused other problems

 

[Paul - iBasso]

We do have a new FW coming out very soon.

I was referring to the initial sound when the player is turned on referring back to the original comment. Amps often have that and this device has two. As for the other sounds... I don't have them with my player so can't comment on those. Keep updating the firmware, iBasso are great in updating it orogressively.

Excellent, thanks. The work on firmware is appreciated and better each time.

I may sound quite bias as I am a fan of Ibasso DAPs here (owned a DX50), so please take my honest opinions with a pinch of salt. Having demoed the DX80 for a short while with my ATH-IM02 (stock cable), I think that the sound is really dynamic yet engaging. The treble can be quite on the bright side, but it was acceptable for me. Most importanly, based on my short impression, despite the obvious flaws, the UI and the output were much better that the DX50 (DX50 UI was okay for me though), so those are the two big thumbs up from me. Overall, for me, this is a mid-end priced DAP with a high-end performance. Just need some tweaking on the UI, this may the DAP for me (if I could ever have the money lol). Keep it up Ibasso!

Would it not be nice to give that control to end user? If I hear clipping I will reduce the final volume..
On rear occasions, when I feel the need to use EQ on DX80,  I do not boost but reduce frequencies (at 250 and lower), so for me personally that feature is completely counterproductive. 
But the assumption seems to be  - user is dumb, he will now boost the freqs over the top and that will cause clipping, so we [iBasso] better reduce the volume ... Not sure if that is the right approach.
