Thank you (and the others) for your advice! This makes it clear; I doewloaded the tool and tried it; indeed it seems only 30GB works. Either a dud or fake. Glad I know what is the problem now, I'll return the card and get a new one.

Hi all, I imported a A15 (64GB, black) from Hong Kong and am very happy with it. However, I recently bought a 128GB SD card and for some reason it shows only about 32 GB on songs. Other albums added do not appear to have songs in it, even though in explorer the card says it is filled with 116...

Well, I just spent a frustrating hour on the internet looking if I could order the 64GB player shipping to the Netherlands. Couldn't find a single store, only the 16GB is available. Anybody has a tip where to get the 64GB?

  Well, who knows.... Two weeks ago I sold my beloved Rega DAC, and my beautiful Primare A30.1 amp, and I bought a -rather ugly- NAD C390DD; this amp is completely digital; as far as I understand it basically it transforms the digital PCM stream into -still digital- PWM, amplifies it while...

I bought a set too on amazon.de for €126,- Deeply impressed by the deep bass, big soundstage and colorful sound; they bare far better then my favorite IEM for the last 2 years, the Etymotic HF2s. Build quality is less impressive, hope the strainrelieves on the earpieces don't wear out...

I bought the Klipsch X10 on Amazon; deeply impressed by the soundstage and bass, best IEM I even heart under 150.

I've no first hand experience with USB cables since I use a squeezebox to feed my beloved Rega DAC. But I was wondering, there are two kinds of possible distortion; one is jitter, that tends to make the sound more dull because information is lost randomly afaik. But the other is noise...

Quote: Exactly what made me sell my former DACs (audio-GD ref5 dsp, Meier Stagedac, MHDT Havana), some were more transparant and detailed, but non as musical as the Rega; ever since I bought the Rega, 18 months ago, I've been happy and no more thoughts of changing/upgrading.

Quote: Yep, I had both for years, feeding dacs through coax. No contest, the Touch sounds superior through the digital out on all fronts; the Classic has a dull undynamic sound that is typical of jitter.

the Havana has a soft bass, the kind of undamped softness some tubes bring. The Audio-GD is balanced in the bass, it does not stand out in any way. The Rega might be a little bit too bassy, especially in filter #1, and the bass is slightly soft, but that does not stand in the way of the...

Thanks Barbes, for your impressions. I've no doubt these 'amplified dacs' will have the future; the combine dac, pre amp and power amp into a much simpler, cleaner one box solution that will provide better price/quality then the classic solutions; at last this is what I constantly read in every...

I made some enthousiastic comments about how natural the rega DAC sound to my ears here.

Difficult, it gives a very organic musical sound, not the last word in transparancy and detail but very natural, nothing mechanic at all. Perhaps it is more what the other dacs did wrong: the Meier sounded 'digitally detailed' with an accent on the frequency extremes and tonally off in the mid...

 I used to have the Havana; very 'natural' sounding, but that is because I found it dull; not very dynamic and slightly rolled off treble. I love my Rega DAC; full and dynamic, but very natural, not that 'digital' unnatural sharp sound. BTW, I tried more DACs before the Rega, the Havana...

Quote: Well, I had a stagedac for a few weeks, impressive dac with huge 3D soundstage and deep bass but not quite my taste; tried other dacs like the MHDT Havana and the AudioGD Ref5, but eventually found my true love in the Rega DAC. But it is not a matter of better, it is a matter of...
