  Yeah, the inmates took over.  

 
BTW, I thought it'd be interesting to select the USB/DAC in Settings and then plug my Mac into the DX50 and see what happens.  No drivers available through iBasso, of course, but you never can tell what a Mac can do on its own.  Well, the player lit up w/DAC on the splash screen but nothing else happened.  Oh well, worth a try.  

 
Send iBasso a mail. A lot of people are asking for USB DAC support for Mac as well

BTW, for those who are interested, Gapless seems to work fine on In Order mode, but I get gaps when in Shuffle mode.  Might just be a matter of it having to find the next song, which takes some small amount of time.

I installed the USB DAC drivers but the computer doesn't recognize the DX50 as a USB DAC. What do?
 
EDIT: I should add that I have 1.5.0 installed on the DX50.

I had to install it four times. Bring the device manager and see if the Mango USB is properly installed. Mine was in a broken state so I kept uninstalling it from there and running the install again, after a few attempts it showed up properly and was finally shown from the sound control panel. Keep your player in dac mode connected to the USB port at all times when loading the software. I assume you initially followed the instructions to install an unsigned driver in windows, correct?

Oh are your running windows 32 or 64-bit?

I noticed that the color scheme of the screen now has slightly less contrast with the new firmware.. I adjusted the brightness to the same levels as with the previous firmware but it still looks slightly off to me.. is it just me..?

Hi, is there a way to have the stock 1.5.0 with Rockbox? If not, DOC2008's 1.5.0 based ones are also ok. It seems these don't come with CWM recovery.
 
How does the "ROCKBOX for FIRMWARES BASED on v. 1.5.0" work?

AT LAST! GAPLESS WORKS!!!


However, The random stuttering (like an unsynchronized DAC) is annoying.

 

[olddude]

I've spent 2 hours listening today with no random stuttering.  Did you do a factory reset after the update?  Remove the update from your device?

I've been trying to get it to work, but haven't had any luck. Can you explain how you did it step by step so that even a caveman could do it? I'm running Windows 7 32-bit with the service pack(s). And I did type those two lines into the command prompt and it even shows test mode on the bottom right of my screen on the desktop.

I thought it did too on my end, but no go.  Three tracks were perfect on ASOT 2014 then back to the skip.  Looked at what it was doing carefully and it seems on some tracks it's eating the last two seconds. Tried cues w/ flac and split tracks.  No go
 
Are you on a card CJG or internal?

I'm using 64-bit windows 7 so there's no need for the unsigned driver installation guide I would assume. How do you even uninstall them though?

I am hearing a very obvious change in SQ with this new fw : much better instrument separation (24bit  jazz and some electronic CD flac rips) and much better balanced bass frequencies (Shure se846). 
 
I`m coming from that 3rd-party fw explosion thing.

I love the space in the sound. Live recordings come across extremely well, IMO. Listen to Dreamin' Man Live, Neil Young.

Hey guys, did you do the upgrade by the book, ie do a factory reset after the update and remove the update from your device?
I believe this is required before the developer/manufacturer will take any error reports into account, be it an iBasso DX50 FW or any other new HW or SW iteration to a device.
