I recently emailed Ibasso about the fact that gapless playback doesn't work well with MP3 files and they have just emailed back to say that it will be fixed with the next firmware release. I didn't expect there to be another one but I am feeling glad that there will be a new one to fix the gapless problem. FLAC works perfect but I have a lot of MP3 files as well.

There is going to be another firmware release? :O Color me excited!

They've told me there will be which will fix the gapless problems. I too am more than a bit pleased. We may have to wait until next year but it will be worth it.

I have had problems with hapless working perfectly. I haven't played attention to whether the files are MP3 or FLAC though. I've heard Rockbox remedies the problem and I'm considering trying it. I'm wondering how exactly it affects the sound on a flat EQ..

I noticed that they have DAC 1.0 drivers on the website, but people have been reporting problems with ASIO. Has anyone tried it with Wasapi? I will test it with Wasapi and J. River tonight.

No one has problems of short sound interruptions during some flacs reproduction? After being updated to 1.5 my DX50 has started to shows this problem. Especially when a new song starts I have this problem of short interruptions of music. After this initial phase it works normally. This is a bit annoying somethimes.. I've also tried to make a clean install of the firmware but the issue is still there..

I tried installing Rockbox once, it installed fine but I couldn't find my music anywhere, then the nightmare of uninstalling it, it took me over an hour. I was convinced I had bricked the player so never again but if you can get it to work then go for it. I will not try it again until it becomes an easy installation process like with an iRiver or a Sansa player.

I guess it all varies with mileage; my USB DAC installation worked fine and I am using JRiver MC 20 without any problems, works great in fact.

I set it up late night and it took me about five minutes. But it took me about an hour to figure out why my music wasn't showing up! If you decide to do it I don't mind helping you

 

[Paul Davidson]

If you can tell me where to look for the music I can have a think about it. Any help at all will be appreciated.

Mine was in Files -> /mnt/external_sdcard for the microsSD slot. And /mnt/sdcard for the internal 8gb memory. You can also set up shortcuts to the RockBox main menu screen on the bottom to make it easier to go back to that folder.

 

[Paul Davidson]

Having used Rockbox on Sansa and iRiver players I was expecting it to be a doddle but I just don't remember seeing that option. I didn't get to hear music played so I can't compare the two sounds qualities but I certainly like the sound of standard 1.5.0 firmware and if they are going to fix gapless with a future firmware update I think I will just stick with Mango to be honest. I will probably just make sure I have a FLAC recording from now on if I know the tracks segue into each other.

Pitty You care about gapless play, otherwise would upgrade to Sound Unlocked 1.3.3 instead of You 1.5.0 sure sounds great but so far Sound Unlocked 1.3.3 hasn`t been beaten when it comes to lossless files sound quality, imho.

I have this problem playing mostly ALAC and AAC. Sometimes a song starts off several seconds into the song.  It doesn't happen very often.  When I first switched to 1.50, I and others reported some random skipping.  Funny,  it hasn't happened in some time but I've also rescanned the library several items as I've added music. I was just thinking the other day how long it's been since I've had a skip.  Might have something to do with the library scanning but who knows.

It drives my JH13Pro just fine, not sure if you consider that high or low end

. The question is whether you like what you hear I guess.

 
Just wanna follow up on this, do you have the JH13fp? Also, how bad is the high noise floor issue/hiss with your IEMs + DX50? 

 

[bluesyfluesy]

After nearly a year, I have decided to retire my DX50, which is a little sad for me. On the other hand, I'm eager to see what my new DX90 is capable of

My DX50 Rockboxed sounds absolutely phenomenal. And the gapless sounds completely perfect!
