    New up-frequency player software HI-Player, better sound quality, smaller size, lower power consumption

    Strange. I think the developer is the only one equiped to handle this question.

    New up-frequency player software HI-Player, better sound quality, smaller size, lower power consumption

    I’ve had it running on a 2014 i7 MacBook Pro without any issues but I don’t have a specific anti virus running. Does the virus virus scanner create a log file that you can take a look at?

    New up-frequency player software HI-Player, better sound quality, smaller size, lower power consumption

    Thank you for the quick reply. I’m using a Gustard u18 DDc which feeds a Musician Pegasus via i2s. For some reason hi-player is saying that the Gustard doesn’t support 512dsd but it does. Is this a limitation of Mac OS (Mac mini m2) or a communication problem between hi-player and the Gustard u18?

    New up-frequency player software HI-Player, better sound quality, smaller size, lower power consumption

    Hi , I’ve been using the app for a few days now and it really does sound great. Could you maybe provide a remote control app for iOS/andoid at some point? I know you have implemented DLNA but the sound quality isn’t the same as playing directly through the hi-player app.

    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    HI, I just tried to update the firmware from 1.5 to 1.6 via usb (local) and got the message 'Update Failed'. Now when I turn the power switch at the back of the unit only the small blue LED at the front lights up nothing else... If there a way to solve this?

    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    Hi, I’ve had, and have been enjoying, the et3 since last summer. A question suddenly dawned on me though, do we know anything about the power supply? Is there a smps inside the case or is it a more sophisticated power supply? There is no fuse on the iec cable input from what I can tell.

    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    Thanks for the reply. I use the Eddict player purely as a remote control (via sync link) for files stored on a usb drive (sounds better than streaming via upnp/dlna). I can download artwork via the album art search option for one track as it playing but I can’t see a way of adding artwork for...

    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    Still very much enjoying the ET3 as an all-in-one transport. I have two suggestions that coud be classed as 'in the future that would be great'. 1) Ugrading the airplay support to airplay 2 as is sorts out latency and stability issues. I've done this on linux based systems by updating...

    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    Hello, Volume control doesn’t seem to work with Airplay (the slider goes up and down but doesn’t effect the volume), is this by design or would there possibly be a way of adding it to a future update?

    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    Thanks for the more detailed manual. I'm surprised at how much I'm using the ET3s streaming functionality, it works really well. I'm also using it with an Apple TV 4K as an Airplay receiver. It works great with most apps... apart from Youtube which I believe requires Airplay 2 on the Apple TV...

    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    I’m currently using the i2s output of the ET3 into a Musician Pegasus and upsampling to dsd512. It works perfectly for both CD and upnp/dlna (using both MConnect and JPLAY iOS). However I’m also experimenting using the USB output into a Gustard U18 (DDC) then into the Pegasus via i2s. This path...

    Shanling ET3 - Dedicated Digital CD Transport, With USB Drive and Wi-Fi Support

    Hi, I received an ET3 yesterday and I’m really enjoying it so far. I have a question: If two outputs are connected, for example USB and i2s do they both receive a signal or is there a way of selecting which output the audio signal is sent to? If not that would be a great feature to add in a...

    Gustard U18

    The good news is that the two work together automatically with just a standard hdmi cable. You can select the ‘mode’ on the U18 which does effect the sound and you have to check speaker phase. When you look at the the ‘mode’ diagram for the pin out of the U18 and compare it to the one on the...

    Gustard U18

    That’s what I remember you saying, which is why I’m a bit thrown by their suggestion of plan 3. Plan 2 it is then.
