    New Dali iO-12 ANC Headphones – Impressions Thread

    I'm still experiencing some sharpness in the treble (lots of 'tch' and sibilance) that I've never heard before on some recordings. I've been playing around with the two different volume systems to see if I can mitigate it. I'm using a FIIO M17 player (Apt HD bluetooth) and the volume on the...

    [FiiO M17] Dual ES9038PRO, dual THXAAA-788+, dual power supplies, 9200mAh battery, 2 volume control modes

    I reset the database but the cover art did not appear. It was embedded. I then tried replacing the art and it worked fine. What should I expect in the future when adjusting cover art or meta-data: should I always reset the database or does the app recognize when a file has been modified...

    [FiiO M17] Dual ES9038PRO, dual THXAAA-788+, dual power supplies, 9200mAh battery, 2 volume control modes

    Question: I noticed I had an album without cover art, so I replaced the .FLAC files with ones that had the cover art. I then had the FIIO music player rescan all folders but it didn't update the cover art (it still is blank). Do I need to reset database for this situation?

    I also agree that if someone listens to bass heavy music then a bass-heavy headphone would probably not be a good match. I think a headphone that adds a little bass can be good for some older music that is bass-challenged to begin with.

    New Dali iO-12 ANC Headphones – Impressions Thread

    Thanks, I own the Bathys and they were my favorite until the Dali. The Bathys do have a lot more bass but are nowhere as good in terms of clarity, soundstage etc. I play bass so I appreciate hearing basslines and bass texture as well as I do on the Dalis - perhaps my issue is the highs...

    New Dali iO-12 ANC Headphones – Impressions Thread

    I'm wondering how many people are listening via USB cable vs Bluetooth? If USB, any recommendations on brand of cable? I'm trying to maximize the sound without resorting to EQ and after owning them for over a month I'm finding the bass to be somewhat anemic. I don't use the Bass mode because...

    Yes, I did a full rescan. What seems to be happening is that the albums are removed from the Albums view, but not the Genres view.

    Question for someone smarter than me: how do you delete albums successfully? I've removed some and they still show up in the FIIO Music player... Thanks.

    At this point I think my only complaint is the volume control. I find it so hard to get my finger on the right spot without accidentally pausing the song.

    May I ask why you need to reset it?

    Yeah, just discovered that. I'm also seeing volume changes on the IO-12 reflected as 'gain' changes on the M17 (even though the volume doesn't change) so I'm all set. Thanks!
