You can test if it is in Quad mode by seeing how quickly the battery drains. The battery should drain faster in Quad and you can use a timer to see when it goes to zero in dual then put it in Quad and see if the battery drains faster.

I don't have an SP3000 but an SR35. I've found to keep the battery from draining I turn off both my wifi and my bluetooth every time I turn it off.

The price on the website is $2,999! From the images on the top, is it me or is there another jack on the top? If it has a line input I'm all in. (Edit: my mistake it looks like it's a button. 😞) https://www.astellnkern.com/product/product_detail.jsp?productNo=155

I'm using Amazon Music 23.13.2, which is on my download tab. My Amazon Music is working fine. Definitely not snappy at initial load up, but after it loads it's fine.

Are you not using a micro sd card? It may have to do with you maxing out the space on the device. I store all my music on my micro sd card and none on the actual device.

I don't hear any audible short cracks. Did you update the firmware with gapless?

How were you notified if you won?

I read Shanling's reply that they make products for OEM at higher price points than this and it really made me interested. Just FYI, Shanling made the T300 in 2004 but the Kalista CD player design and planning started in 2001. https://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/metronome/kalista.html...

I've been thinking about it, the only way they could do it would be to have a way to connect to the internet, grab the meta tag from the CD, then go to a database to download the cover art. For the SD card album images, I always download my album art for each album. Does the EC Mini put up album...

It's on Tidal.

Is there any CD player that's not on your computer that downloads cover art automatically? Even my SR35 requires me to upload my cover art or have proper meta tags. If it had wifi and streaming I think it would cost more than an additional $30, but that would be cool.

Thank you for your response. I meant in terms of sound quality. I use DBpoweramp for CDs and I use Golden Records for my vinyls. DBpoweramp is amazing as it let's you use multiple CD drives and checks for errors. I use two cd drives at once to speed up my time to increase my Roon collection...

First, thank you for this opportunity. I'm a USA resident. I would listen to Andrew Lloyd Webber's, Requiem. The dynamic range of the album is excellent with a DR score of 12 on CD. There are some shocking moments in the album which really pulls on your emotions. The album was written for his...

Interesting didn't know this believing since USB C was bidirectional there was no need for a slave/master configuration. Which leads to another question, is there an audio interface that has a USB Audio 2.0 input?

Hi everyone! I recently purchased an Shanling EC Mini which has a USB Audio output. I of course know how to use the RCA out of the device to go into the line level of my audio interface to record music, which is what I do with my vinly records. However, I was wondering is there a way to record...

So after some more experiementing a few more items to note: 1. There are two usb c ports on the back of the unit. One is for the DAC and USB audio out function and the second is a charge port. The DAC/USB Audio out port DOES NOT seem to charge the unit, so if you have this in a permanent setup...

I've tried that, turned it off and on in different orders, changed settings in the DAC, reset the ec-mini, reset the Dacs etc. I'm pretty much over it, haha. I love the cd player so i'm keeping it.

I'm waiting for the limited edition synthetic diamond clear variant. A clear diamond Dap would be insane. Ok being realistic, synthetic sapphire would be just as cool!

If you haven't tried a Qudelix 5k you should take a look at it's insane EQ. They integrated thousands of EQ for nearly every type of headphones and IEM's. If you implemented this on your Daps it would be awesome!

I've tried it with two different USB-C-type cables. The cables should be working fine as the DAC's work fine from my phone to the DAC. I'm using some pretty popular and common DACs, the Qudelix 5K, the Fiio BTR3K, the Astell & Kern SR35 and an inexpensive USBC to headphone DAC. Have you tested...

Is it USB Audio 1 or USB Audio 2? Have you seen which DAC's work with this device? I'm assuming it's in PCM format. According to Cambridge Audio, "What is the difference between USB audio 1 and 2? Class 1 can send up to a maximum of 24- bit/96kHz hi-res files, but if you want to play those...

No problem. To continue helping people use their DACs with this device, and testing the power capabilities of the device. I've drained the battery listening to a CD all day. Wanted to see if the batteries were dead, if I could just plug directly into the charge port to use it. It appears on my...

I meant in terms of what the audio output format is, i.e. if it's USB audio output is 24 bits PCM, then a 16 bit Dac maybe can not have the capability to read the audio output. I don't know what native means for the CD player. I'm assuming SD card music would be what you saved the file as, such...

It's definitely not easy, as you need to disconnect the screen from the board to remove the board. Mine was in tight where I could not slide out the board. You can see in the photo the board is slid in on a small cut out. There seems to be at least one ribbon cables you need to remove and an...

Well it works with the Topping E50 through USB, so I'm thinking the output has to match the capabilities of the Dac which is causing the issues with the other four Dacs. Thus I'm curious to know what the native output of the player is.
