But only when charging from a power supply, not when connected to a pc as it goes into usb mode

  I'm currently doing some A/B listening with DX50, JH16 and few amps I have.
 
For quick comparison, my Ipod classic/M8 combo has obvious advantage in soundstage, bass impact/volume and treble extension compared to my DX50/C5D combo. The DX50/C5D has forward mids.
 
Then I switched to DX50/O2 and all of a sudden the advantages mentioned above quickly went away. They sounded on par of each other. Goes to show DX50 benefits from a very good and powerful external amp.
 
I wish there is a way I can hook up DX50 to my M8 and check if there will be sonic improvements.

I agree with you man. but i prefer pairing my DX50 with the FiiOE12 Mont Blanc. 
Please let us know if you' ve found a way to connect ur M8 with the DX50.

Steve Wilson's new remix of Close to the edge has a much better soundstage, depth and separation. Check it out.


Agreed. It ranks high amongst my 40 official albums & bootlegs of Yes -:). Too many to fit onto the 64g SD card into my DX50 if I want to listen to much other stuff as well.

I have 7 64gb, 5 32gb with one 32 gb being an extreme plus and a few others. I like to have many types of music, resolutions and one or two discs duplicate in order to compare daps, FW's on daps and so on.

Wouldn't plugging into the M8 line in be comparable to plugging into the O2 line in?
 
The M8 has no line in. Seriously. Um... why?

How about this case? It's not in stock yet, but it will be released very soon.

Looks interesting. Does is come in other colors? Red would be nice against the black. Leather I suppose?

Is that case by Dignis?
