Maybe the files have been flagged as invisible. There is a free Mac utility called Onyx. Click on this link and choose the version, for your macOS. Install and go to menu option 'Files' and then File 'Visibility'. Once, all files are visible, mount your QP2R and see if the invisible music files...

Post if you will but one already belongs to me!

That's exactly what I meant. Old Timers disease! Sorry

I'll just continue to use my Shure SE585 with the Balanced Cable I have. The original goal was to limit the possible stress from lateral movement, the straight 2.5 balanced plug puts on the balanced 2.5 jack. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I wasn't clear but what I want is a right angled balanced 2.5 (Plug or Adapter) so, the signal will remain balanced, not to convert balanced to single ended.

Does anyone know of a right angled 2.5 balanced plug? I have a cable for my Shure SE585, that terminates to a 2.5 straight balance plug and works fine with my 240. My only concern is, the already fragile 2.5 configuration, made even more fragile, with the straight plug sticking out of the...

I was part of the group that had their 1R sent to China for repair last year, because of the battery issue. Mine was also in pristine condition before the repair. Not only was it returned, in the same condition as sent but it still had all my music in internal storage. The loaner (Referb?) I was...

Speaking from personal experience, I would be very wary of the additional heat and make sure the 240 has lots of ventilation, when in use or charging. I know I'm stating the obvious but Lithium batteries are definitely scary technology.

The link was broken but I did a search and found this. Is that the correct one? Looks like it's plug and play, which is excellent. No soldering needed. I'm sure all will appreciate your info.

I'm sure other owners, will be happy to hear, that a third party battery is available. If my hadn't gone gone critically ill, I would have loved to do the work my self and save time and money. Can you supply the link and price, so others can take advantage?

I still have them. If you could pm an email address, I can upload them to One Drive and send you the link.

I didn't have a battery problem, when I first purchased my 1R and I don't remember the problem turning up, for at least a couple of years. What ever triggered it, the point is, it was fixed.

I would love to see an update to the OS but all devices, regardless of the manufacturer, are eventually orphaned. The support that I and a few other QP1R owners received, was sending our devices back to China, to repair the battery indicator problem. Mine was way out of warranty but the needed...

Directly through iRiver/Astell&Kern. My battery went into thermal runaway and I sent my 240 to iRiver and they sent the player to Korea. Quite a long journey but they provided 1st class customer service.

I just had my 240 battery replaced a few months back and I still average about 6hrs of listening time per charge. As @jwbrent stated, file type plays a huge factor, in play time per charge and I also think, it's just the nature of the beast.
