Firstly, thanks for the quick reply - much appreciated. I'll try the media scan option. I'm not one for playlists, as strangely (it seems) I listen to albums! I will check the playlists box is unchecked anyway. I do leave everything on MicroSD, rather than on the player - so I'll try on the...- LondonGecko

Anyone had any issues playing DFF files? The tracks load, but as you as you hit play it comes up with an "unplayable file" error message. Any ideas?- LondonGecko

Pictures of Your Portable Rig [Part XIV]
AK SE100, Atlas Xeno IEM cable and Shure SE846 with Westone Star tips - overkill for the 6:21 train, but I love it.

I've just moved from Shure SE535s to SE846s (using the same Atlas Zeno IEM cable). The reality is they are much ore detailed and better suited to the SE100. The bass is clear, punchy and fast whereas I felt it was lacking a bit with the 535s. I must try the 846s with the AK70 Mkii before I...- LondonGecko

Yep... I had no idea. Why would there be lossy compression in a non-lossy format? Anyway, slightly tangental to the SE100 thread - which incidentially, I am loving.- LondonGecko

Interesting... there are things on Onkyo that aren’t on 7digital! I usually get my music from Qobuz, so hoping they’ll move to MQA.- LondonGecko
