The iBasso DX50 Thread - Latest firmware: 1.9.5 - June 30, 2016
Jan 25, 2015 at 2:57 PM Post #16,201 of 18,652
  Are You sure problem isn`t in tagging?
It`s normal with DX50, it`s relay switching on/off.
There`s something seriously wrong either with software or battery! I get around 14h playtime with stock battery vol lvl between 188-191 and screen brightness set to 50, backlight off - 30sec.
With replacement battery I get around 14h30min with same settings.
You should try Sound Unlocked firmware :wink:

 
 
agreed. I easily get over 10 hours on this thing on  full charge and I have the screen at almost the brightest setting, gain always max and the volume at about 200 with Sennheiser HD598...

Oh, forgot to add... I`m using gain @ mid with those settings.

Received my DX50 just now. I'm hitting myself on not choosing EMS when you guys were initially alerting about DHL, I was charged INR 600 (10 USD) extra as Duty! :mad: I received many products from EMS even FedEx, never charged anything!
Will try to post some pictures for those who haven't received :)

I am also planning to dx50 in India. Please tell me how you ordered and about the warranty.

  RSU 1.2.0 - https://mega.co.nz/#!GQ1gTZ5Q!VIBLPMAAM1Bbed3L12Us817muJZpMYqcSpWomlXQ3fY


Can You tell shortly what is upgraded/changed in this version?

Not planning to change firmware so soon, got some stuff going on :wink: Just wanted to know shortly what was changed (soundwise).
KraziEarss... do capacitor upgrade, highly recommended cheap and quite easy upgrade in SQ :wink:

I don`t care about technical suff if You meant that. Dmitry knows that I`m only interested about SQ not about RB technical "how it was done" and if it is "right or wrong".
Only thing I don`t like is using EQ.

I am curious about the changes myself. I will be updating to 1.2.0 today regardless because medmitry never disappoints!

so 1.1.0 and 1.2.0 have two differences:
1. rockbox PCM initialization params are same as Mango(it provides more sound details, the difference is subtle, same as iir_bandwidth for example. so I don't wanna discuss this with "direct-DAC" guys. it's annoying :) ).
2. rolloff_speed set to "slow", so the sound become less "tight". (this was hardcoded in 1.2.0 firmware, 1.1.0 was "fast" but see below)
 
 
anyway you could download this rockbox update(1.2.1) - https://mega.co.nz/#!LcE0gQQT!ACiWGUwu9aDbgR83JEUcU4Hrj1H5o8Cu5ciUvtKnR8E
and you be able to choose the rolloff speed "Settings -> Sound Settings -> Roll-off speed -> Slow/Fast"
 
This update can applied for any RSU version.
 
This rockbox build includes changes provided by ArgelErx(code reorganization, most of patches for DX50), Cholero (modern ui).

That`s good.

Great, I`ve always used slow roll-off.
 
Just to be clear - RSU 1.0.0 is based on official 1.6 firmware? RSU 1.1.0 & 1.2.0 are based on official 1.2.0 ? If so, then going to try RSU 1.0.0 and 1.2.0 sometime soon. 
I`m guessing RSU 1.2.0 will be better because I liked SUEX 1.2.0 sound. Still, despite RSU using pre-installed theme, I`m not sure if I`m going to like UI more than Mango but we`ll see :wink:
