    Comment by 'BrianD19' on listing 'Cowon Plenue D2'

    Please ignore this wanted ad' I thought I had bricked my Plenue D2 yesterday by accidentally formatting the main partition, losing everything to the point it was unreadable in my Windows machine, but I managed to recover it today so all is well. Regards Brian

    New model Cowon - Plenue D2

    Hello, Haven’t quite made up my mind but I’m thinking of keeping the Plenue D2 since I don’t need that and the Opus. I’ve read the online manual but it’s not clear to me ... 1. How to determine the current firmware version running on the device. 2. How to find the latest version and download...

    thebit Opus#1 DAP from South Korea

    Hello, In "Album" sort the Opus is first sorting any mp3's alphabetically and then flac's. Any way of sorting alphabetically and ignoring the file type? I see this kind of thing as a bug, to be honest.

    thebit Opus#1 DAP from South Korea

    I bought the Opus #1 last week. A few points.. I would like to see a better indication of when the Opus is scanning and when a scan is complete. All I see is a cog that appears at random moments after switching on when I know it is scanning. I have no idea when it has completed the scan...

    thebit Opus#1 DAP from South Korea

    If using the optical out from the Opus #1, where is it selected in settings? The socket is HO, LO or Optical out but I don't see a selection option anywhere. Firmware is 2.00. It's a new purchase and I don't have an optical connector yet but one is on the way. I'm keen to try this into my Naim...

    Fiio X5 3rd gen || 2x AKM 4490 || Balanced Out || DSD || DXD | DTS | Android || Dual Card Slot

    It is the Cayin i5 that has trouble with gapless, not the FiiO. I've had no problems with the x5iii. My earlier comment is a subjective opinion. I prefer the sound of the Cayin i5 over the FiiO x5iii but I won't buying an i5, it was just a comment. Has anybody done a direct comparison between...

    Fiio X5 3rd gen || 2x AKM 4490 || Balanced Out || DSD || DXD | DTS | Android || Dual Card Slot

    I've been listening to the x5iii for the last few days and I'm underwhelmed. The Cayin i5 sounds better, such a shame the i5 doesn't do gapless properly. Anybody compared the x5iii directly against the Opus #1? I think the Opus is the only remaining option within my budget. After saying that...

    Mine didn't have that defect either. I looked for it when I saw the picture you posted.

    Fiio X5 3rd gen || 2x AKM 4490 || Balanced Out || DSD || DXD | DTS | Android || Dual Card Slot

    Folks, Can someone with the FiiO please tell me how the "line-out" capability is implemented? Specifically, is the gain function (low, med, high) deactivated when line-out is selected, or does it still affect the output? Many thanks Brian

    Cayin i5 Lossless Android DAP with AKM4490 DAC supporting 32/384 PCM + 64/128 DSD

    Very interesting and a bit of a headache for retailers if someone buys a new i5 that arrives with firmware 2.2, finds it unstable and returns it when in fact installing firmware 2.0 (beta 2.3) would be a fix. If firmware 2.2 really is bad Cayin needs to get on with making a genuine firmware...

    Thanks for the reply. It's a pity there is no replay gain. It's a very useful feature if using random track.
