I want to play native SACD .iso files on my SR25. I see that Foobar2000 can be installed, and I have no issues with SACD on my Win10 laptop, but to enable SACD playback I had to install an additional component, is this possible on the SR25? Thanks in advance. BT

Ah, seems that its not just me then! I tried to log into Tidal on my AK70mkII and had no luck. Well, it is a 3 months free trial, and it works on my Phone and PC fine, would be nice on the AK, but .....

Is anyone using Bluetooth headphones? I had a pair but I can't get it to pair - if finds the headphones fine but sates that it can't pair with them. Cheers BT

Finally bit the bullet and bought the AK70mkII today :-) I demo'd it for a long while, blow away by how good it sounded on my single ended headphones. I liked the sound of the Jr, but didn't like the lack of oher features so i sold it on. I wasn't planning on buying the AK70 but after listening...

I am looking to replace my Pono, one thing it excels in is gapless m FLAC to DSF/DFF - does the HiBy also support seamless palyback?

I am on the lookout for a replacement for my Pono, I love the Pono but its not portable as the battery is a bit shot so I use It wired at home. One thing that the Pono did very well we gapless, even with DSD,DSF files - something that I have found out to be lacking in other devices. Can anyone...

Thanks for the idea. I used a different SD card and then it correctly updated the firmware to 1.04. All working now Cheers Tony

Thanks for the update, however i had already updated the firmware. so i downloaded the file you linked, updated the firmware again, but when i check the build it say 1.0.2. I didn't see any errors during the FW update, but its not updating? Quite frustrating BT

I found the following at http://fiio.me/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=42108 Edited by FiiO-Shadow at 2018-10-11 18:21 Q: Regarding ISOs/files in compressed DSD(DST) format on the X3II/X5II/X5III/X7/X7MKII/M3K/M7/M9 A: we have received some feedback on our X3II/X5II/X5III/X7/X7MKII/M3K/M7/M9...

I just picked up my M7 this afternoon :) I jumped after reading that the M7 will playback SACD .ISO files, as long as they are DSD and not DTS format. Most of my SACD ISOs are DSD.but a few DTS scattered in there too. So i selected a bunch of ISOs that I had checked with FooBar were infact DSD...

Just a quick question about the M9 and SACD .iso files. In the past I have always ripped my SACD .iso files to DSF files and played them, can the M9 play directly from the .iso without the need to rip to DSF first?

So I bought the A&K jr two weeks ago, and I have to say that it has great SQ, but the lack of proper gapless is annoying. To be honest I couldn’t believe that it doesn’t work, on a device at this price point. I assume that there isn’t no ongoing fix in the offing? Sadly looks like it’s off to...

  Thanks for this tip - I tried it and the problem persists. I am going to install the firmware again, I hope that this time everything is fixed or else I am stuck :-(   BT

Yes - the problem persists.

I have a problem that started this week: I select an album from 'album' menu and pick the first song on that list, it goes into playback and plays only that song before jumping back to the first song of the first album in in list? I have done a HR, and the problem persists. Also, after it plays...

HD650 balanced arrived today, a very quick listen and I am very encouraged, much fuller sound. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Picked up my PONO this week, first impression out of the box - very nice, very good sounding player. Now to match headphones with it. HD650 are my go-to cans, but they didn't sparkle for me - my B&W P7's sounded extremely good. I am toying with the idea of getting a balanced cable for the...

Andy, I deserve to win your P3 because (deep sigh and raspy voice) Andy, I am your father! BT

This looks like a real must visit event - unfortunately I have to move house August/September so I'm not sure if I can make it, I might be living in a box :-) I've put the date in my calendar so when I have firmer details over my move, I can see what's what! Cheers BT

1. Are you familiar with SACD? DSD? Yes, I have a SACD player with HDMI DSD and have a DSD Decoder in my main home audio amp   2. Do you own any SACDs? Yes - some say too many!   3. If so, what percentage of your collection is SACD vs CD or files? Probably about 10% SACD - as a...

Quote:   Humm, I never noticed a list being circulated, could someone point me to it.   Thanks   BT

ok, fixed the problem.   BT

I couldn't make the UK HeadFi meet, but I'd sure like to get a listen to the HE-500 :-) I'm in the UK, with a bunch of tube amps warming up.   BT

If the seller has closed his account that is an indication that he's trying a con (I've had this done once to me). Try and contact the seller, there is a default time before you can open a claim via the Resolution Center at PayPal - but once that starts you'll have a few hurdles to jump and...

Thanks for all the input - I want to get this right as I listen to music alot and I'd rather plan and buy well than rush in and end up regretting it. I share 1 wall between myself and a neighbour - basically right behind speakers! And its just 'bonded brick' so no cavity, I guess front ported...
