Just updated to firmware 5.6.0. Left - Right balance fixed and overall volume is higher than before. Also I found less right ear taps to get music to play. First tap gives you connect tone and second tap starts music playing. So far so good.

I have been lurking in the wings for many weeks now, following, learning, thinking about and on a couple occasions talking to Beoplay support regarding the E8’s. I thought I would share my thoughts and findings to-date. Perhaps I should start at the beginning….I own a pair of B&W P5 Wireless...

I was playing around with my AK100 MK2 and downgraded it's firmware to 2.30 and reset all the options again.  I must say 2.40 is much more stable.  As a matter of fact since it came out I have only had a couple issues which could have been written off as to much finger pok'n on my part.  So why...

If you do a search here for 'AK100 22Ohm Bypass DIY' post 10 tells you how to open the case and remove the battery.  There is no mention of type of or where to get one though.

I use a Mac (OS X Mavericks), had a look and it does format exFat so I did.  Thanks for the info aqtaket, hopefully my results will be the same as yours.  Cheers.

I gave up on auto library scan, it would see something that it didn't like and then rescan, which could take a number of minutes.  I turned it off and if it 'craps out' I just shut it down and restart and all seems to be good again.  There are still lots of issues but as I learn to work around...

For sure the 'gadget' still has issues but it may have been the way the drive (SD card) was unmounted from your iMac.  I also have a Mac and on occasions have had similar issues.  When I was very new to this 'gadget' (still am I suppose) I managed to have to reformat one or both of the cards on...

I see what you mean with rewind, it's all in the timing. Hit rewind once wait a moment and hit it again goes back one tune.  To quick only restarts the active playing song.  It's been that way for me since 2.20 anyway, same as Solude.

   I've been way and just read this.  Interesting, 2.30 had so many bugs for me and 2.40 seemed to address many of them, although not all.  I just tried what you mentioned and it works fine on mine with FLAC and mp3 files.  I can use both the hard and soft keys to forward and back even a...

To add to this.....if you are using a Mac, xACT (free app) will spit the cue file as well.

One card goes in one way and the other is flipped over.  I use the end of a spudder (thin plastic probe) or anything smaller than a finger nail which (in my case) doesn't push it in far enough.  When the cards are seated properly they will click and lock in place. Like I mentioned I can not push...

After reading about the new features implemented in this update I don't think any of the previous issues were addressed, they have just added some "fluff" (I never had any issues with the UI before, it was all good and still is).  The intermittent hangs reading the SD-1&2 slots are still there...

Regarding cover art not showing etc when importing.....through trial and error I found the answer to the mp3 problem…..it was the version of the ID3 tag.  Anything with v2.4 was a complete write-off, v2.3 worked most of the time and v2.2 worked every time.  iTunes has the ability to convert the...
