Hi. This is my first post and I'm brand new to the forum.
I'm surprised that the review says the i basso dx90 only needs to play at around half volume to be fairly loud. I am using Shure SE 535 IEM'S which I would say are relatively sensitive and quite low impedance (but maybe they are not in comparison to other IEM'S?) and for good FLAC recordings at 16 bit 44 kHz I need to go above about 170 on the volume dial whereas for lesser quality source recordings such as many 70"s or80's cds I find I need to go up to 185 and some around 195 to get the best out of the unit and IEM'S. And that isn't deafening. I am using Lurkers modified firmware. I would be interested to hear if anyone gets a good volume below 130 and of so, what headphones are they using?
Thanks
