I use the DX90 day in and day out, I don't have any problems with the UI. I can go to any album, go to a song and play it or play any album or do a shuffle. I have other daps and do the same. I am not sure where the problem is. I read in a previous that the UI is a mess, really? I find the UI easy and fast to use. Great sound so I am not sure where the problem is. 
 
And now back to Greg Brown, great music. IMO. :^)

The UI is stable and don't really have any big issue nor mess but not too friendly, what I mean is it can be improve more on the friendly way.

From what I read, there are quite significant sound differences between all the firmwares (2.x, rockbox, alternatives?). Could you shortly describe the sound tonality of the firmwares?

Anybody has/had the rockboxed iRiver H320? Is it worth to upgrade it (Fiio X5 for me wasn't)?

Consider yourself fortunate.  I suspect you use high def files and only have several hundred tracks or less on your DX90 at a time?  Try putting thousands of files on at a time (such as mp3 format) and watch things really slow down.  However, the Lurker FW has really helped in this area...

I use mostly hidef files but do have one 64GB card filled with about 100 ripped cd's in flac however I exclusively play one cd at a time in original order and navigate in db mode via genre/artist/album. Nothing else and with that use the DX90 works perfectly and always with gapless enabled

IBASSO.
 
hoping that ibasso would add something into this dap.
a theme perhaps.
its hard to see the lcd at morning when youre into that black background, (you needed to add more brightness to compensate for the lighting)
it would be a very good idea if they can add WHITE THEME for morning and BLACK THEME for night..
 
just a simple thought.
hoping we can change the background wallpaper of the music too :)
just a little freedom or improvement over the players appearance display.

Hi pinoyman, I believe you can already change wallpapers on the dx90. There is a thread on headfi for wallpapers on the dx50 but they work on the 90 as well. Sorry can't link it cos I'm on mobile can someone find it? Thanks!

Hi guys, just wondering if someone can help me out. I currently own a Cowon z2 and am thinking of upgrading to a DX90, but just wondering if anyone has heard both and just confirm if DX90 is an uograde? Also whats the battery life like on DX90?
