Any short audio LOD will do the trick, I guess, like the JDS Labs' ultra-short I put between my DX50 and my D14.

Hi, thanksfor the thughrs. Didn't know a line out cable will do. I do have a couple of 3.5mm to 3.5mm line out cable but my understanding is Mojo have a 3.5mm coaxial out instead of line out. Wiring of the cables on the pkug are different if I'm not wrong.

Yes, as mentioned above - a normal 3.5mm to 3.5mm would do the trick.

But for me, i really looked for a 75ohm cable to use for this Coax as i want to stay in spec

But locally, i haven't seen a shop that sells coax cables with both 3.5mm plugs in that short length - so DIY is the best path (that is if you want to stay in spec)

Or if i have the time i can maybe do one for you

Thanks for the thoughts and the kind gesture, appreciate it. Always good to have passionate and helpful people around.Let's see if anything can be found before the need to take up your time.

Well, maybe I was not that clear : the audio LOD is between the SPDIF out of my DX50 and the SPDIF in of my D14. I'm using it as a digital connector — like Cotnijoe did two years ago between his DX90 and his own D14 :

Copy that. Thanks again for helping me understand.

Ideally the preferred spec is 3.5mm TS plugs. Pin out only uses the Tip and Sleeve if you'll be using TRS - just like what i did. And use a 75ohm coaxial cable.

Thanks for highlighting it. Will keep that in mind when searching. Might end up searching for you though.

Not sure if you got the cable yet but I got mine on ebay. You have to select the one for Cayin DAPs. Works great on my DX50 with the Mojo. Type in "3.5mm Coaxial Decoding Cable for Chord Mojo Headphone AMP with HiFi Music Player". It is from China and took about two weeks to deliver to Canada Eh.

Does anyone know where to buy an extended battery cover for the DX50 or DX90? There are pictures floating around on the net and people mentioned taobao but i haven't been able to find it. Price is no object here as I really need this. Would be great if someone could point me in the right direction or might even sell it to me.

Pictures where? I haven`t seen any.

Hi Guys, I'm trying to connect my DX50 to Xduoo XD-05 via coax out

Is this the correct cable to use?

 

[goodvibes]

I would say no. It may work but any Dig cable should be shielded. I also don't care for multiple isolated conductors for the positive in this use.

Good evening. I am in the market for my first non-iPod dap. I am currently between three models: fiio x5-I, cowon Plenue d, and ibasso dx50. I have really been liking the idea of the ibasso, for several reasons: 1.) not limited on storage {I just started converting my cd's to flac, and with just my electronic media, I'm at 162gb}. 2.) I like the user replaceable/swapable battery. 3.) I like the aesthetics and layout.

My questions for you all are:
1.) do you still use your dx50?
2.) would you go a different route if you could do it over again?
3.) does changing the firmware to rockbox make a significant difference? Good or bad?

Thanks!

I still use mine on a regular basis. If I were in the market for a new DAP, I'd probably get another iBasso, most likely the DX80. But on a budget, you can't go wrong with this one. I used to use Rockbox and Doc's Final Firmware, but the latest official firmware from iBasso is fantastic and sounds the best to me.

 

[dwayniac]

I also use mine on a regular basis. I don't see myself upgrading as long as my DX50 is working not to mention that I have found IEM's and earbuds that pair well with it. Never bothered with Rockbox and the like.

1. Using my DX50 (DX5X) every day. Built like a rock and looks like new using silicone case from day 1.
2. No, I actually want to buy another used DX50 and HW&FW mod that one too.
3. Rockbax makes difference but depends on which FW version is compared and I`d rather go with Doc`s FWs or Dmitry`s Sound Unlocked FW. But last DX50 FW is also very good.
