I think a DX90 is the next DAP on my radar... as I put up my ZX1 for sale as an interest check, and it went super fast (prob put a bit too low of a price on it!)... so currently I'm without a DAP!

Stereo recording with waves hitting the mic that are reflected from walls, there are delays to the waves that hit the mic. Your ears get a sense of space from delays of the sound waves what we call phase. You ears perceive all this and gets a sense of space based on the recording. Some recording do better at providing this perception as they are recorded well and the sound will be reproduced closer. So more realistic than others. Some DAPs more realstic than other in representing this.![]()
Why did ibasso add so much bass? It's definitely not neutral.
I just looked at your sign, it says X5> Pico slim. Is your assessment based on X5 line-out to Pico slim? To me it's pretty obvious that DX90 HP out is bass boosted.

I have a number of headphones and IEM's and I don't hear this. And comparing to the Chord Hugo, though not the same sound, find the frequency response pretty even, as many others have posted. I listen to both the X5 and the DX90 and in comparison, I don't hear a bass that is out of line with the DX90. This also in relation to the 901, the DX100 and a few others. We all have a right to our opinion though without question and if the DX90 doesn't suit you then I would sell it.
I'm going to return it, X5 I may keep it doesn't have as artificial sound as the DX90. It's just ridiculous how DX90 sounds. I recommend people to stick with iphones than get eh DX90, it's not neutral at all.
