Just posting to subscribe.. Thanks for the great story so far Jason.

Ahhh okay :) thanks for taking the time to explain. 

So then why not just tell ffmpeg not to be used as the decode for FLAC, etc.. ? 

So what codecs are being used to decode the lossless files? 

  I see this talk about android Libraries and all ffmpeg libraries being removed, if ffmpeg isn't being used to decode the sound what is? And if the libraries are in place but not being used then it's not effecting the sound.. Can someone explain to me what this is supposed to mean?

Totally agree with the heat comment. It's why Dell and lots of other vendors are pushing for running gear hotter, the longevity you lose is more than offset by the cooling cost savings. But I'd have to disagree on the compute power being the limit on density, its still SAN storage on a raw...

You might want to take the back off and try to re-seat the battery, might have shifted during shipping. If that doesn't help probably a defective unit..

You shouldn't be voting anything since it's Beta Drivers which are always use at your own risk.. You wouldn't review a half built bridge 'Was excellent until car plunged off the end, would not drive again..' so why would you do it to a DAP that is adding new features that aren't fully baked yet...

Hi Jude, so at the moment I have 86GB worth of FLAC and 192GB of MP3 files, I have two copies of these living on different storage devices in the house. 

Hey guys, I've been reading through the thread and I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this but just as an FYI you can't install unsigned drivers on Windows 7 x64 without going through quite a few hoops first. I've included this link as it gives you a couple of options but I'd suggest not...

So my Schiit stack arrived yesterday, when I had initially made the order I had forgot to add the RCA and the USB cables to the order, got them added but they were not included in this shipment so were shipped separately. I'll have to scrounge around and see if I've got some RCA cables or build...

Well I made the plunge and got the überfrost and the Asgard 2 for my K701s/DT 990 250ohm to use on my home desktop.. Should arrive shortly..

Hmmm good point, but I wonder if its a large enough amount of moment to actually affect the sound that much, you hear alot of people saying 'It was really harsh out of the box but after I let it burn in it was so much better.'
