I have never used a screen protector with mine. No scratches and my hands aren't always clean. The surface is hard and holds up well. They use the same screen as the AK100.
As to the EQ, as I understand it, the critics are not stating the hear no difference. Rather, they would like the sliders to make a greater relative change than they do.
Speaking of that screen protector, I have been using my DX50 without the one that was included since I borked the thing during application. Don't know where to get replacements from, seems not cost effective for anyone to order them from China.
Ew.

My screen still looks like new, however, despite being naked.
Those expressions have been couched in terms like, "I have never even come close to hearing an EQ that is that useless". A 3dB-6dB bass and/or treble boost is common enough in portable headphone amplifiers. DX50 with its 6dB EQ range is in good company and is most certainly quite useful for its intended use: listening with headphones.
DX50 is not pro audio. It's not going to get a 31-band parametric equalizer. It's not going to get +/- 20dB gain/attenuation per band. If that's what you want then I suggest that you look elsewhere.
It came with 2. I installed the first one upside down. The round edge was in the bottom. So i took it off and installed the second one. you can just walk into any place that sells screen protector and ask the employee to cut one out for you.
Is it worth upgrading from a Cowon Z2 to this if I want better sounding audio?

Guys, I'm not trying to derail this thread but I am looking for advice as to how I should incorporate my DX50 into a desktop set up.
My questions are
1) Will a DX50 work as a source with a decent amp and cans or should my source be higher end?
I would also love any suggestions as to a desktop setup with the DX50, any combo of amp, cans, cabling would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys.

2) Is it acceptable to have the DX50 feeding into a desktop setup through the lineout (thereby relying on the DX50's inbuilt DAC)?
3) Assuming the DX50 does slot into a decent desktop setup without being the weakest link then I am thinking of the following
Ibasso DX50 (FLAC files) > Audioquest Big Sur 3.5mm to RCA cable > Bottlehead Crack or similar > Sennheiser HD700's.
Please comment on whether my idea is sound or royally sucks, it is easy to find info on individual component audio parts but not so easy finding out how which items hook up together well.
