Thanks very much for confirming.

It’s tough to get information on the Codex so asking the experts here: Thanks When was the last firmware released and what’s its name? Does the Codex do DSD natively as a result of any firmware or is it still via DoP.

Did you ensure all of your card’s files were recognized before you started playing? This happened to me not Update related but after adding files to my card. I think it chokes on both playing and reading the new card. After waiting till all files were first recognized cleared this similar...

Mine is set to go to timeout to a blank screen pretty quick, then two taps to get back. I also don’t use album art and for the screen that would show album art it’s black with the lotoo bird-like logo in grey.

I’ll add a note here if it helps, or maybe to help me remember when I forget this again. Recently I got the out-of-memory screen of death after years of rock solid playback. It would play 1-2 songs then crash. I updated the recent firmware but still the same. It was kind of perplexing as I was...

Have you tried it with the phone in airplane mode? I’ve experienced clicks that could be perceived as CD skips when iPhone is not in airplane mode.

This is the only comment or review I was able to find on that one. The person seemed to have a problem with it but maybe that was because it was a laptop. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/best-way-to-get-audio-from-macbook-spdif-coax-modi-3.963335/ The other one I might try at some point is a...

Just reporting back after trying 3-4 different usb cables for this, the fit of the USB - B end seems to be the issue, meaning choke, no choke, premium or run of the mill cable, if the fit on the USB - B side was less than very firm you'd get, or could get with jiggling, the high pitched whine...

I just got one of these trying to replace the 3.5/toslink out no longer offered on mac minis; I plugged it in, usb a to usb b, and all it does is produce a horrible high pitch whine from the unit itself, yikes. Any idea what I am doing wrong; I thought mac would recognize it. Edit: ok the...

I only played the S2 line out about 30 min to a portable speaker with volume control but it seems far less battery drain from phone. Typically bypassing the op amp to avoid coloration is a key line out feature. Not sure the topology of this firmware and setup however. But for me when using this...

Would using line out when attached to iPhone mean less power draw from the phone? Curious if and when anyone has experience with that.

I am guessing your macbook MIDI settings are set to 16/44. It has been awhile since I paid attention to this, as I have a mac mini and use JRiver which does control bit/sample rate changes per the source, but I am guessing the macbook won't be controlled by the Amazon app, so you'd have to...

I believe it upsamples to 32 bit for the digital volume, then as you attenuate you don't go below 24 bits or more likely 16 bits and so can keep it mostly bit perfect. This is pretty common I believe, just that other digital volume setups likely don't show you the upsampled bit rate. Here is a...

I think this is all true and that is good advice, and so by extension for @shinbonjan I would say it’s as much about managing the media itself. In my case the DAP has a 1T card so I can have a good chunk of what I’d have in a 2T capacity home file setup at the ready, importantly all lossless...

In the S1 they gave you a whole lot of the sound of their PAW DAPs for a lot less money, but most everyone who has the PAW6000 has been happy with it, I think its great https://www.head-fi.org/threads/lotoo-paw-6000-2019.907416/ I can't speak to others on the market now and only ever had a Pono...
