New Head-Fi Update
While not exactly aesthetically pleasing, maybe this change is moving towards a more open era for Head-Fi. Let's face it, the site has always been about promotion of the sponsors primarily. At least now it's a bit more transparent what sort of site you're on.- tackytiger

SansaClip+ Rockbox Impressions thread
I wonder if you've got the backlight switched off. If you can mount the device, try deleting/ renaming /.rockbox/config.cfg. Alternatively, try shining a torch/ flashlight on the LCD. Edit: Sorry, reading back through the entries, I see you've restored the OF.- tackytiger

Kouzelna: Assuming your audio is all 44.1/48kHz, have you tried the DX50 Rockbox port? I've never had any problems with large playlists with it, plus you'll get true gapless and many other features.- tackytiger

SONY NW-A30 SERIES
I'm still trying to decide whether to buy one, it'd be a gamble without knowing whether I can upgrade the firmware or not. I'll probably just buy a device where you can copy an image to the root of the device.- tackytiger

SONY NW-A30 SERIES
You copied a Windows executable directly to the device and it did a successful update? https://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/content/cnt-dwnl/prd-dna/NW-A30_V1_10win_eu/NW-A35 To be clear, I won't be able to install "Sony MediaGo".- tackytiger

SONY NW-A30 SERIES
Does this device act as a USB mass storage device, or do you have to install some Sony application on a commercial OS? Edit: I only ask because apparently you need an application to update the firmware (rather than placing an image in the root) and it got me worrying; ...- tackytiger

Which is better buy Fiio X1 or Sony NW-E394 Walkman Digital Music Player.
I'd have a read through the Fiio X1 2 thread before you buy it, seems the firmware needs a lot of work; http://www.head-fi.org/t/819817/fiio-x1-ii-2nd-gen-w-bluetooth- tackytiger

Best Computer Audio Player Software?
Are you using an ASIO driver at very low latency? They were originally designed for musicians who needed the responsiveness. For audio playback, a larger buffer gives a much smoother experience with a lower overhead.- tackytiger
