Hi folks,
 
because most people arround me aren´t audiophile I let YOU know how happy I am with my birthday upgrades.
 
Coming from the DX50 with fiio E17 and stagediver SD3  I´m now running a hardly used DX90 that I send, after one day listening, to Michail for his Mod and now running Lurkers newest FW. I also got a Lehmann traveller in very good condition that fires my new HD650 at home and my ATH M50 or SD3 "out of the door" . 
 
If I could I would listen to my new rig 24/7 to shiver about all the new things in my old music and the new stuff I found during testing.
 
BTW: Because hires music needs some more space I like to know if I can change the microSD´s like a CD after building the catalog on the card at the first time using it.
 
 
Thank you for listening
 
 
Ruediger

Welcome!
Very nice! Mod 1 or 2? I have Mod1.
Anyway you'll be very happy with it.

You'd need to re-read the files each time you changed a card.

when I plug my headphones to the LO of my dx90 I can hear strange high pitch noise. but when I use LO for my active speakers or separate amp, the sound is ok. does anyone else have this experience with pluging IEMs straight to LO?

You're not supposed to plug headphones into the line out, just the headphone out.

Are you plugging into the LO or the output on the top of the DX90? The output on top is the digital output and that would put out a high pitched sound. For headphones or IEMs you would use the headphone output on the bottom left.

 

[haens]

I know that LO is not for headphones but I remember someone mentionong that he prefers to listen with his IEMs from LO so I wanted to try that
 
and after more than two years of using my dx90 I can find all the right holes blindfolded

The person likely meant the placement of the gain switch on the bottom.

My headphones work fine from the line out. Less warm sounding to my ears. Headphone out sounds great to me, in comparison. Should'nt be a weird noise from line out.

 

[haens]

wow, I just noticed that the weird high pitch sound can be heard only when the screen is on, with screen off the LO is silent with IEMs

I bought the iBasso DX90 because it's supposed to play well with USB OTG hard drives. The manual mentioned that it can support 2TB SD cards (whenever they come out), so I got a 2TB external hard drive. It's a desktop hard drive, so it has its own power supply.

However, when I listen to very high resolution files, particular DSD or 192kHz, it skips every few seconds, for a few seconds. It's like there are read issues. Is there a way I can mitigate this?

Try another firmware version.

 

[thefitz]

Try another firmware version.

I'm under the impression that I have the newest version - is there an older version you'd recommend?

Try different file system such as FAT32 or others.

 

[UNOE]

Yes I would try FAT32 for sure. But I think 2.3.2 and 2.3.4 were good too. I don't own dx90 any more but it worked fine with otg hard drives when I had it. Different firmwares broke certain things when I owned it so I know from experience the newest firmware wasn't alway the best one.
