You mean with ac adapter?
Yup. Or some power bank charger. Or charging only usb cable.
You mean with ac adapter?
I'm still really curious to know if anyone can hear a difference in SQ (probably mostly in terms of bass response) using a higher capacity battery, vs. a standard capacity battery (http://www.head-fi.org/t/714421/the-dx90-by-ibasso-please-post-just-your-reviews-and-impressions/570#post_10492693).
It there were battery issues, I suspect it could perhaps be heard when comparing a freshly charged DX90 to one with <50% charge. On my DX100, I am convinced that once the battery charge drops, I can hear a slight loss in dynamics and punch....I have no idea if the DX90 would experience a similar issue.
If anyone is wondering if a different battery would sound better than the stock fully charged, I'm skeptical unless another battery was found that exhibited lower impedance characteristics (which used to be the case when comparing alkaline batteries to good low discharge NiMH batteries on older portable amps).
As far as I know, all available batteries that fit the DX90 are the same chemistry (lithium ion...which makes finding a "golden" battery with significantly different discharge characteristics less likely).
Can anyone confirm that the DX90 cannot be used while plugged in and charging?
It cannot.
Yes it can. It runs fine with an external charger for the USB cable. Perhaps you guys mean plugged into a PC.
Did you really suggest that headfiers purchase a cable from the 99 cent store? What kind if sense would that make? There must be a silver/gold cable with solid gold contacts available somewhere.
