I hate to dispel your assumption that people like me who don't post on this forums are 'more or less' happy with my Poly/Mojo. Mojo yes, but Poly a sound NO! I don't post here often and in fact probably once. And this thread is about the Poly. While I have no way to proof whether their firmware...

Both my wife's and my Polys finally got their updates yesterday and they finally worked. Note the past tense, worked. That's right they worked flawlessly last night. Was so happy and was enjoying myself thoroughly before finally succumbing to sleep bug. Anxiously turned on my unit this morning...

It may be subtle at first but the differences become more and more apparent over time especially with the right songs. I too didn't feel the difference at first and thought its all gimmick to use filters but realize it can even change the sound signature of the player. So slow roll-off works...

Andy might have run out of steam (you did look tired when I met you) yet you solved my long standing issues with my player. Very glad I met you at Cayin booth in person, fantastic personality and am grateful for helping me despite having a long day. Wish you have a great stay in Singapore!

I really envy you guys able to complain about how Tidal music stutters because I can't even get any third party app running!   They all hang on startup. Tried clearing all sorts of cache, tried updating the firmware several times. Tried clearing the entire files and folders from the device and...

I wouldn't go that far to describe M1's sound signature thin. Soft maybe, bright perhaps. While the i5 has copious and tight bass, the default sound profile does not encourage prolonged listening. Changing it to the 3rd option (long delay I think) helps.   I used to be particular with details...

Yes same issue. Its not an android player although the OS is Linux based.

I disagree. Thin sounding is neither flat nor neutral. And this, the M1, is not. It has pronounced high treble, the mid sits slightly above neutral and a prominent lower bass. The mid highs and mid lows have been pushed back making it sounding less fatiguing but that's the W shape I am...

Its true that badly recorded music sound just... bad. There's just no point flogging a dead horse. But well recorded pieces do sound inferior on compressed formats. YMMV but I do hear the differences on all my gears.   When ripping a CD recording into both WAV and FLAC formats in 16/44, the...

Bright yes. But by no means thin. Perhaps it is because the player has a W shaped sound quality that may give the impression of thin sounding. The resulting sound is highly addictive which you'd be tempted to raise the volume as it sound even better when played loud.   But such sound signature...
