iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane
I'll be honest, I also didn't try with the iPower :relaxed: It is probably great and may be just as good as the Hypsos. I read the previous generation polluted the mains with noise, so I also try not to use smps. I don't know if true, you can read so much.... I also don't find the Hypsos so...- knudsen

iFi audio ZEN Stream - Streaming elevated to a higher plane
I've had the Zen for 4-5 days and it is really, really good! Everything I've tried works fine. I also have had a pi2aes for a year, it is powered by a lt3045-based 30v supply. It is on a pi 3b. The Zen is powered by a Ferrum Hypsos and/or the 12V Ipower that came along with it. I know that the...- knudsen

Sony NW-ZX300
You can do it an album at a time with xACT - in the tab "tags". Just paste an image and click "Write tags". I don't know anything that can do it all automatically.- knudsen

Sony NW-ZX300
At least I've read it many times, and tested it to be just below 4% saved for paypal with my currency. Its the same if you travel and are to pay a restaurant bill, and you can choose between paying in local currency or your home currency. Always select the local currency (= sellers currency)...- knudsen

Sony NW-ZX300
I've ordered one now. You can get the price down to 57$ if you create a new account, get the 5$ coupon for new users and pay with paypal. Also (always!), when using paypal and your native currency is not dollars select that your card provider should do the currency exchange, that will keep...- knudsen

Sony NW-ZX300
I am sure they are the real deal, I've bought many sandisks and samsungs from aliexpress the last couple of years and all have been genuine. I have one 400gb already (from amazon, was around 100$), considering one more. Thanks for tip- knudsen

Did you empty the recycle bin, with the unit attached to the computer? Normally, space is not freed until it is emptied. Has fooled me more than once- knudsen

Earbuds Round-Up
Btw, I save 5% on every paypal transaction by selecting that I want my card provider (= my bank) to do the exchange from USD to local currency. Its the same for both paypal and amazon: they cheat like crazy with the exchange rate. Always select to use your bank for the exchange, thats my...- knudsen

Earbuds Round-Up
I've only read about 1 other pair, a guy in the EA group. Though his does'nt have the same cable as mine will have (the one I posted), so who knows how "official" it is, or if its more of a prototype/custom/limited ed, which may turn "official" if there is enough demand- knudsen
