Oh dear, i just received my dx50 today and boy am i dissapointed. I was seriously expecting it to be an upgrade over my hm601 but the hm601 stomps all over it, and what's with the eq? it does not work!! god i thought it would have been fixed in the latest firmware but no it has not. This shall be going into a drawer until they can sort the firmware out.
I´ve been running the DX50 for almost 2 weeks on 1.2.6 & the last couple of days on 1.2.7. The improvements over the last period are impressive. Fast scanning, personalize it with your own wallpaper, better EQ, gapless works fine (again) etc.
But at the end of the day the main reason I bought this fabulous player was the sound quality! This morning I put it back to fw 1.2.2 and fell in love with it all over again.
So iBasso: 1.2.7 functionalty with 1.2.2 SQ = killer combination! Please, please, please...
I hope you put your IEM on the headphone out located at the bottom, extreme left. I have a HM601 myself and no way it trumps the dx50
I would call a change of 1db significant, but I'm not sure how noticeable that would be. A 3db change would definitely be noticeable. But isn't the whole point of a "reference" player to have a flat frequency response with minimal colorations?
I wouldn't use "significant" or "noticeable" to describe the bass boost of 1.2.3b. I would call that "ridiculous." I would probably use the same word to describe the FiiO X3's mid-bass bump as well.
