I still don't understand why you don't have the issues with fade in on your tracks. What kinda music are you using jamato? Any particular format and means that you access these files? Something just doesn't add up when you say you don't have any of the issues mentioned on 1.1.7 when everyone else seems to have them... Would be nice to see a screen shot of some of these files in mp3tag :).

Are you bypassing the amp or are you going through its internal amp and then the other amp you use.

No you go through the line out.
 

I am also using 1.1.7 and have no issues with fade-in cutting out part of the music. Mine seems to work just as it is supposed to. It is pretty nearly ideal gapless. In the Gapless settings menu, I have checked the 5 second box. Works for me.

As I only use .wav files, I don't see album art, but that is of no concern to me.

I am thinking about buying the dx100 because I am tired of listening to my Iphone with Clas. I want a way more natural and open sound which I am not getting with the clas and I phone.

Maybe that could be the reason. If you are only using WAV and you had also mentioned 5 sec gap. I only use FLAC and a few mp3s.

Damn, these things keep dropping: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sandisk-Ultra-Class-Micro-Adapter/dp/B007JTKM30/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3JI2OUI6MOTZD&coliid=I2LDTR53KFPPP9

 

£37 for a 64gb Sandisk MicroSD... 

Now we just need the 128 GB to hit the market and I'll be quite happy for some time (once the price drops to sanity levels)... I think it'll give me enough time til the 256 comes out ;). By this time is when Apple is gonna start having problems I think with the market. What they really need to do though is make a means to embed album art and tags on WAV :).

It exists and is called FLAC.

 

Just pulling your leg

lol :P. Reason I'm wishing for this though is that there seems to be some inconsistencies even between FLAC and WAV format (Risking World War III here ;).
 

I've heard this been discussed before. Could the decoding / uncompressing process have some slight effect after all? This is highly controversial, but not to be ruled out necessarily.

 

That is what I am thinking. But I am also catching "flack" (no point intended ;) from others regarding this. Supposedly it is impossible :).

At the risk of sounding dense, I cannot figure out the need for album art to be displayed momentarily on a tiny screen! I doubt whether much attention is given to the album art when playing the original CD other than identifying the album by the name on the edge of the box.

Perhaps the lack of decoding album art on wav files results is less processing work for the processor, resulting in snappier performance and fewer artifacts when playing a file, not that I have any evidence of this, just a thought. Along with sounding excellent, decoding the uncompressed .wav files seem to be the easiest task for a DAP to execute.

You have a point. I just like the presentation though. It's appealing to have everything neat and with the album art showing. Not a necessary thing but a luxury I like.

 

To elaborate more on the difference I'm hearing on the 3.5 and full size HOs on the DX100. The full size jack focuses the sound stage more in the center, the sound stage isn't quite as wide but has good vertical imaging. I think separation may be a tad better as well, it takes more control of the sound. But I do like how the 3.5 jack is a bit more euphoric, and a wider sound stage.  The presentation isn't so centered through the 3.5 HO and is positioned lower. Really nice to have both options to be honest.
