Hi all, between dx80 and fiio x5 which would you choose for mainly better bass? sorry that I didnt do enough reading. thanks
I would invest in better headphones for better bass. What setup do you have currently?

Both DAPs are good, I would pick either one but you should get some better IEMs. The Cks77 are good but there is so much better out there. You get major improvements from higher class headphones then you do from a new DAP.
Thanks! What would you suggest for iems with heavy bass?

Or you can put a good amp on line out. Thumbs go way (I'm not having much thumps and from those I have they don't bother me). If the amp has a perfectly darker background it improves the hiss on low impedance IEMs. The amp on the DX80 is a bit on the warmer side I feel. It actually very emotional, I noticed that. But it's not very refined in details. I just test now and the FiiO E12A is a better amp. More open, refined and detailed, better mids, no hiss, no thumps...Well, it's a significantly better experience, I'm sure of that. But...it cannot power properly the HD650. Despite giving a refined sound, the body is too thin. So, I'm saying its better than the DX80 internal amp but...on IEMs. If I can spend the money now I would get also the Picollo amp, read good thing about it.
I want to say that, with time being, I don't think the amp on the DX80 is worst than the E12A. It just has a different signature: the E12A has more bass quantity but maybe a just a bit less cohesion, the mids (strongest point of E12A) and the treble are showing their details in just a bit more prominent way. And the MUSES02 used gives it a very specific (and very addictive) tonality. It sounds a bit more aggressive. The amp in the DX80 in comparison is a bit more neutral, flatter and maybe natural sounder. A bit smoother and very enjoyable but...
...now I'm getting a feeling of slow PRAT and maybe a smooth "injection" with my Earsonics SM64 in slow music just using the DX80. Feels like I'm almost falling asleep lol I just have to use this combo with a little more energetic music for it to have a natural pace. For instance, Daft Punk is enough (minimum) and I start tapping my feet with that hypnotic rithm. I'm maybe in the market for a new IEM soon, more energetic. Well, don't know, I remembered that E12A gives a more agressive character to DX80. Come on guys, help me out, I'm trying to get a pretext to get the Earsonic Velvet now that its price has lowered
It's the first time. However, after it happened, it didn't recover after several tries when it kept turning off. Then, I put it away and tried again in 10-15 minutes and it woke up...

I had that exact same thing happen to me. I've also seen this same complaint posted several times throughout this thread. So, it's a known and recurring issue. When it happened to myself, I had only had the DX80 for a couple of weeks, so I returned it to the seller for a replacement. The replacement has never demonstrated the this behavior (going on 5 months now). I think I was running FW 1.3.0 on the failed unit. I'm curious to know what version you're running?
It happened for me once in November, at the first day of use, and never repeated again. Also, from a few people who experienced the same misbehavior, I never heard about repeats.I just hope it's not going to be recurrent...

1 - of the last 3 FWs (1.3.3 , 1.4.0 and 1.4.2) which is more musical ? more neutral ? more detailed ?
