Hey everyone! Just a quick question, did tempotec release any update/new iteration/new product with similar features to their Tempotec V1-digital (ie, No DAC, just a pure music transport device)?

I've been using/abusing mine daily since it got originally released (2019, i think). The battery life is noticeably shorter now. I wanted to buy a new one but it looks like they're not being sold anywhere. I was wondering if they made a successor device or something. I want a small pure transport device because a dac would be wasted on it for my personal use cases. I already own a lot of portable DACs that I enjoy. I also liked the fact that it had 2 sd card slots.

Hello to all.

This is my humble opinion on a remarkable device, with a great price/quality ratio.

Has anyone else tried the additional FW released on TempoTec site for the Sonata BHD Pro yet?

Hello to all.

Here is my humble opinion on Tempotec's first IEMS.
They are the IM05.

I think that my V6 has died.
I still get the blue led when I press the volume button and the red one when charging.
I've rebooted loads of times with the volume and bottom button.
It takes about a minute to start the reboot, the blue light flickers and the screen glows faintly a few times and nothing else.

I can still connect to my pc (ubuntu) and it sees the files.

I've tried with it charging and fully charged.
I'm now trying to run the battery down through patience and rebooting and see if that forces a restart when I plug it in to recharge.

I would welcome any suggestions because I use it a lot.

I've emailed Tempotec today and I'm waiting for a reply.
It's still under warranty for a few more weeks.
I really don't want to scrap it.

to get into recovery mode you press the gold wheel and up then once the broken android shows take off your hands off the buttons then tap up then you can access recovery mode

altharic
thanks for the advice.
I tried all combinations of button presses.
All that I could manage was to force a reboot to a blank screen.
I've posted it back to Tempotec.
They've got it now and have told me that they will fix it and send it back to me next week.
I'm glad that I acted promptly because the warranty was very close to expiry.

Fingers crossed.

Anyone managed to update their V6 to the latest firmware mine gets about 30% in and fails?

 

[Barndoor]

I'm on v1.10 from a year or so back which looks to be the latest on Tempotec's site or is there a new firmware?

 

[Barndoor]

I see on Tempotec's site they now have a V3D which is a digital output only source device.
Can't see there being much love for it at $299 given that it runs on Hiby OS rather than android. $100 more than the standard V3.

 

[altharic]

This is the update i see

Just updated mine over wifi - all worked fine.
Good luck.
Maybe charge your battery or plug in a charger when doing - not sure if that will make a difference though

Make sure there is no SD/TF card inserted during the firmware upgrade. Reinsert it after the upgrade.

Mine still fails unfortunately problem with Tempotec is the lack of support they rarely reply to messages.
