Is there a big improvement in sounds between Dx50 and iPhone 5 with my Sennheiser Momentum?

I have all three (DX50, iPhone 5 and Momentum) and prefer the DX50. IMO I find the iPhone 5 lacking lush bass. It feels too thin and dry compared to the DX50. Cirrus Logic codecs are well known for their brightness.

In your opinion does the DX50 worth the price (200$) or Is it better to proceed listening to the Music through the iPhone and a DAC/AMP combo like C5D?

I have actually listened to the iPhone though the lightning-30-pin cable wired to a 30-pin-3.5mm connector onto an amp and still prefer the DX50 connected to the same amp. As far as is it worth the price, that's going to be your own decision. I can't say if it is or isn't. Unfortunately to be 100% sure you'll have to cough up the money in order for you to find out unless you have access to a demo unit or a friend's DX50.

The DX50 is worth twice what it is going for. A more if you consider the musicality.

Gave in and placed my order-
 
I've been using iPods with external amps and felt this I needed to upgrade. Any particular LOD cord you guys use, or will the Fiio L2 do? Will be coupling this with my JDS Labs C5 - Also, will I hear the firmware sound changes when listening via the external amp?
 
Can't wait to hear the DX50 --> C5 --> DN-1000 combo!

Fiio L2 should work fine but will stick out, something with right angle plugs will be more compact

Question...is there a way to get the track number to show when playing an album?

thanks...


Nope. I would like it to show a x/y count to know how far you have come

You did not understand what I said, I ask where the DX50 selling at $ 200?


i just traded for one, and the sales value of the buyer was 170euro, 230$.
You should check the second hand market. Mine was bought new in September 13.

Is it possible to add new firmware button to rescan the media? I use adapter for SD card, and I cant periodicaly replug flex cable connector, as flex cable glued to the body of dap, and files on a flash drive faster download through a separate reader. Thx
