Sadly I had to return mine. There is a Bluetooth glitch which means when reconnecting to a device that the volume comes on at full blast regarding of the setting only to be corrected by touching the volume knob. This glitch appeared on the replacement item so I had no choice but to return it...- chasmore

Best DAPs to consider in 2022?
Thanks. I have another DX240 from iBasso to trial and if that doesn't work then it's going to be the Fiio M11 and just hope you're right that its user-friendliness has improved significantly since the X5iii.- chasmore

Thanks. Really appreciate that. Out of interest how many tracks do you have - I gather from past experience it's the number of tracks not necessarily the memory size that affects performance.- chasmore

I also have the A&K SR15 which is even more glitchy with that amount (works OK up to 40-50,000 then falls down...- chasmore

Astell & Kern SR15: A&norma Impressions & Reviews
Yes, there were two such tracks which I have removed but everything else appears to be a supported file. The vast majority are AAC (copied from cd) with a handful of purchased AAC, some MPEG audio files and the two protected AAC files which I have removed.- chasmore
