Is this DSD playback freezing after 30 seconds issue commonplace? I am seriously considering picking up the i5 purely for DSD playback on the road and this causes concern.

Not sure if I catch your problem completely. We have received reports regarding the player will stop at end of song and fail to move onto next song. We are working on this and is expected to rectify the situation in next firmware update, hopefully available within one month from now.
I bought the I5 a while ago in Beijing switching from an AK100 as i wanted to use streaming services (Tidal/Spotify). So far I am happy with the device. Living in China as a foreigner I am using the I5 with the chinese Firmware in english (latest version 1.5) so I am also able to use the China specific service offers (Baidu cloud, music service). I mainly use my MrSpeakers MDP or PSB 4MU2 for listening at my office and like the sound a lot.
Unfortunately I have two problems with my I5.
1) Listening with my SE846 is not possible with the I5 for me. The hissing is just too much. With quiet music parts I can hear the hissing very audible and detailled. Interestingly on the left side more than on the right one. Also with the SE535 it is the same. I tried all kind of settings. Low gain, high gain. Wifi, bluetooth on or off - doesn´t change anything. Lots of background noise. With MDP or 4MU1 everything is fine - only SE846/SE535 is affected. Can anyone confirm this? Most probably I have a faulty device?
2) As I want to use my IEM on the way together with my I5 but without the hissing I bought an USB C OTG adapter cable to connect the I5 to the Chord Mojo (using the DAP as sound source, Mojo as DAC and amp). Good news is, it works. But only for the first 2 seconds. Afterwards the sound becomes garbled. Also here I tried all available settings with no success. Anyone of you tried to connect the I5 to some DAC and can confirm this?
Thanks for some feedback!
It was alright for me at least for the last 3 weeks of owning the player.
The problem occurred yesterday and I tried reinstalling firmware, clear cache but still does not solve it.
I could get the playtime pass 30secs now but once I press the onscreen icons like song info or when screen turns off and i turn back on again the player freezes. Seem like some insufficient memory issue. :mad:

The problem is beyond my comprehension, and this is the first case of similar problem in i5 so far, I need to consult HiBy on this issue, probably will take a bit longer then usual before I come back to you on this problem, will keep you informed as soon as I have a clue on the reason behind the DSD problem in your i5.
Unless you have installed some memory hungry app recently, it is unlikely that the i5 has enough memory to playback DSD in last 3 weeks but not now. When you factory reset and reapply the v1.5 firmware package, 99% of software problem should have been rectified and this is the mysterious part of the instances.

Using DUNU DN-2000 I also hear hiss noise, but to me, not at the level that alarms me. Still hope the hiss level can be reduced.
Just to share some pics, i5 can detect 4TB USB hard drive formatted in exFAT. External power required for the HD as i5 USB cannot supply enough current for HD. But SSD works without any external power. Can play DSD from the hard disk with no issue so far. But that only from my limited 1 day experience.

By the way, is that a Kennerton Odin in the corner? You have tried Odin with i5?
