Flac compression uses more processing than wav/aiffbut no tags. Saves battery
Uncompressed flac = wav with tagsdoesn't the DX50 support this Format?
Just out of curiosity does anybody know if you can use the DX50 with a car stereo via a 3.5mm auxiliary input???
I'm just in the process of changing my car....and was wondering whether it would work if my new vehicle had am auxiliary plug?
That's quite a bold claim.
Nothing is wrong with the DX50 at all. It is completely useable nor no one is being a guinea pig. It is not completely stable though, but stop assuming this is a beta device. It is not! I'm sure 90% of users are completely happy with it!

Don't most cars have a USB input nowadays?
If you're after the SQ, I got bad news for you - a better DAC circuit traveling through a cable into its stereo system won't overcome the car's acoustics, like abnormal distances between each tweeter and midbass driver and your ears, which a dedicated car audio processor (and as such it will require a new amp as well) can fix. Not to mention where will you mount the DX50 so you can, at the very least, switch tracks at a stoplight without a cop knocking on your window and giving you a ticket (of course it depends on where you live) since it doesn't show up on the more ergonomically-placed (but still accident-causing, depending on the situation) receiver and controls on the dash.
^ Giant irrelevant rant that doesn't answer the question.

OK. The mean customer rates the DX50 as "84% of perfect." The bottom 10th percentile rate it as "42.5% perfect." the top 10th percentile rate it as "99% perfect."
I rate it as sounds really good. The UI is actually quite nice. I hope iBasso continues to refine the firmware for it. The only "bug" that is unacceptable is the multi-disc playback quirks. That is not a deal breaker, because worse case I can retag and renumber my multi-disc albums. Since retagging them for DX50 would not effect playback on any other device I use, I don't see it as a big problem.
So it is past the beta stage and well into the finished product (but could be improved) category. As far as the way it processes files, tags, ordering, etc. it is miles ahead of the first 2 or 3 MP3 players I owned.

The frequency response might sound fuller, but the imaging and soundstage will still be off.

cmon cooper, lets hear those quickstep vs pico power impressions, I'm trying to choose between them here, need guidance!
DX50 does not send audio signals off USB.

I meant car receivers nowadays usually have a USB input that can take storage drives or Androids.

My apologies for being thorough with the SQ expectations vs car audio acoustic realities+ergonomic issues.
