Anyone got a red warning flag on the screen ?
 
Suddenly sound popped and it shut down by itself.
 
Tried to restart but same issue after 2 seconds running.

  I'm leaning more and more towards selling my DX100 to fund a better amp for use with the DX50... 

 
Do it it makes your portable setup a lot more flexible

You didn't trust the battery meter, did you?

Well by definition a battery meter serves to indicate the remaining charge of a device...

Yep, and on the DX50 it is absolutely not to be trusted with the current firmware. Try plugging in the charger and see what happens.

  Is your M8 hissing problem with iem?
 
Thanks

I don't hear any hissing sound with any of my iems even at loud volumes if I'm not playing any tracks. Only his I hear if the track itself has hiss in recording.

Seems that Meier Audio is not very a popular brand? Seems not really many mentioning about Meier's amps but after I've read numerous reviews about the 2Stepdance and Quickstep, I took the move and purchased the Quickstep. I'm so happy with this little gem. Strongly recommended. It sounds so awesome with the DX50 with my CIEM, the phone out of the DX50 is so much inferior.

  Just curious and its no big deal but I have that new toy syndrome so can anyone on the US East give me a rough estimate as to how long it takes to receive from iBasso?

 
 
It looks like Ibasso ships DX50 by batch. They are currently on batch 7. They will only ship orders on Oct 30. If you order now granted there is still a stock your package won't be shipped until Oct 30.

I [too] fell victim to the battery indicator bug. Since receiving my unit it's been playing constantly -charging it when I go to sleep or while I'm at the office. Today I decided not to charge it while at the office and my luck it dies on my commute home.

There is definitely a difference between 16-bit and 24 bit. By how much, depends on your gear and music you are playing. (Other factors also have impact e.g. noise isolation, tips, amount of ambient noise.

So far my setup is this

MBP - > Hifi-M8 - > Beyer T1 (balanced) / T-PEOS H-200 (silver cable with comply foam tips)
Ipod -> Hifi-M8 - > H-200

For the T1 the diffrence is substantial for me (e.g Soundstage is wider, separation of instruments clearer, bass has more punch and the slam has more impact. The mids a bit forward on some tracks but the vocals are definitely more clear and crisp. I hear more details in the highs and some tracks which sounded harsh on 16-bit got a bit tamed and clear.

For H-200, I have the same observations as above but not as pronounced especially on soundstage and separation. Also, if I have to convert my 24/96 tracks to 24/48 for Ipod but still there is a discernable difference.


So yeah there is defintely a difference and for some tracks the difference is big enough that I had to download a copy from HDTracks.

This is also the main reason I ordered the DX50 so I can enjoy hi res sound on the go.

But, If I had unlimited storage, sure I would use 24 bit <img data-cke-saved-src=" http:="" files.head-fi.org="" images="" smilies="" smily_headphones1.gif"="" src="http://files.head-fi.org/images/smilies/smily_headphones1.gif" class="bbcode_smiley"> 

The fact that you think you can hear a difference, does not mean there actually is one.

There might be difference in mastering between the 24 vs 16 files. But converting the 24 bit to 16 would result in exactly the same sound (I think).
I mean, I would be very interested to see a (double) blind test, where it would be proven that there is an audible difference.

Not this device, not currently anyway.

So I have all of my adapters... Where is my DX50?
 
(They are supposed to ship tomorrow.)
