I also only use locally stored files. Hopefully the new firmware 1.62 fixes the problem.

Anyone else lose sound from one channel on an intermittent basis since the latest firmware update? I'm using a SP1000m

@Tristy as the Fonze would say "Correctamundo"

Maybe I should dig out my Walkman and complain to Sony why it doesn't stream. 😉 Either way, I'm loving the SP1000m paired with the Andromeda, with ocasionally streaming by the inferior side loaded apk Tidal app.

Bugger, Steve Austin had the bionic eye! I tend to forget things due to my old age and all..... Ps: is 49 old?

Chances are that I am much older than you, hence my resilience to change. We older people don't carry on like pork chops. We shrug our shoulders and move on. TBH, streaming wasn't a consideration when I bought my SP1000m. I started streaming as an afterthought. I rarely stream at all, the only...

You must have golden ears or Steve Austin enhancements us mere mortals never received. My 2c is that the blame should lay with Tidal. Why would a company spend time an effort for a zero dollar return? Would you? Should AK support their daps indefinitely? What would an acceptable cut off be?

My workaround for this issue is to name the folders in the below fashion, then use folder view. Artist Name (yyyy) - Album Name This is how my entire collection is sorted. Makes life easier when checking which albums you have. Just my 2c

I've successfully backed up my SACDs using my Oppo 103AU. It doesn't take very long to rip. I convert the DSF file to FLAC for my SP1000M and I use the DSF files on my Auralic Aires.

TBH I have no idea what your complaint is about, the Hugo 2 is perfect. I'm asuming the headphone amp will be fixed, I've had the original Hugo for five years and it has never gotten hot and I always leave it powered on. If I could justify buyiing the Hugo 2 I would in a heart beat!!!

The micro usb socket is used by millions of people worldwide everyday, they're plugged and Unplugged multiple times per day. If it were such a poor connectivity option phone manufactures would have gone out of business. Are we complaining for the sake of complaining? I've personally used at...

I must be one of the few that is using the provided power supply. I am also using a Supra USB cable connected to the Auralic Airies + LPS. I've reached the point where I need to stop chasing rainbows and enjoy the music with what I have. Enjoy the music, not the sounds that eminate from your...

It's usb charged, all depends on the usb charger you use. Most are rated 110/230 volts. I'd check with the chargers manufacturer or website.

You've hit the fkn nail on the head! Best response to this nonsical comparison...

Amen brother! Too much noise is made about the power supplies. I doubt that Chord would intentionally provide an inferior power supply. It would only hurt their products performance I wish PSU discussions would be banned from all Chord threads and someone should start dedicated PSU discussion...
