But with any of my headphones using the HO and the LO the sound is more organic and realistic sounding to my ears than anything I have heard out of my DX50. I wonder how the IRR setting will sound with this firmware...

The system update option is only available if there is an IMG file on the device.

Not so good as FLAC+IIR OFF, imho. Haven`t had time to properly compare it to SU 1.3.3 but I liked what I heard. First impressions told me like drum kick was littlebit improved and soundstage has less air (but its large though). But unfortune it is experimental and old, sluggish FW with so few options. Atm back to 1.3.3 but will do more comparing when I have time.

Hey guys!
 
After updating to 1.6 my pc & laptop is no longer recognizing my DX50, either as DAC or storage. I've already tested it with other pc (both work and neighbors) so I can only assume that it is the DX50. Unfortunately, whenever I try to restore to factory settings nothing happens, even the loaded music is still there.
 
Do you know any solution guys? I can't load another firmware due since it's not being recognized by ANY pc/laptop
 
Thanks!

Try a Mac, maybe it could help

Take out the battery while the device is on....

I already tried it with Mac. I might have to send it in again for repair. That'll be the second time after the HO connection started going wonky on me. Apparently, straight stereo jacks IEMs (GR10) put pressure on them when in pocket use.

I had the same when I upgraded. You need to do a factory reset - then it will work fine again. Try taking out the battery while it's switched on, then try the factory reset....

Hi Mr. Koolpep,
 
As I've stated, factory reset does nothing. I've tried taking out the battery while it's switched on, while music is playing/paused and still nothing happens. The same welcome screen of FW1.5/1.6 still appears after MANY attempts. Sending it back to where I bought it would have me DAPless for a month or so, so I'll try as many suggestions as possible.

Hi. Did you turn on your DX50 before connecting to your pc? And did you set the USB setting to Storage?

..and is the cable really ok?

My DX50 is indeed powered on and I have tried connecting it to PCs in DAC and storage mode. I have successfully used my DX50 as DAC and storage prior to FW1.6. Everything was honkidori with FW1.5, every feature works.
 
I suspect the new firmware because when I tried to use it as DAC, after updating, it's not recognized. So thinking this, I tried re-installing the firmware only to find out that it is no longer being recognized by my computer. Hoping to clear my computer of doubt, I tried to connect to other PCs, both Mac and Windows, but nothing happened.
 
So here I am in the forums trying to find my answers.

I've tried with the included cable, Nokia's and Samsung's

So has anyone else had the experience that the DX50 will skip songs with apostrophes in the file name when importing an m3u playlist (i.e. they don't appear on the playlist)?  The songs show up on the player and I can play them just fine via directory, but if I have let's say a Blue Oyster Cult playlist, it'll import everything except songs like Don't Fear the Reaper.  I'm not really sure what causes this as every other character works just fine, including stuff like Japanese characters.  I've reset/reformatted/reset and that didn't help.  Also tried Sound Unlocked 1.4 but that won't even import anything other than the flac files so I didn't investigate apostrophes (dunno if that's by design or also an issue specific to me).  
 
I mean I guess I could just go through and remove the apostrophes from every file I have in a playlist but that'd be a bit tedious.

I haven't tried importing a playlist yet, but I have a lot of songs with apostrophes in them and I'm not about to remove them. I'm a tad OCD when it comes to tagging my files. I'll look into this later and report back what I find. I'm really enjoying SU based off of 1.2.2, so im not in the new firmware at the moment.
