i have not come across this issue yet, but i only use the 3.5mm output. There is sufficient power for IEM useage imo. After reading about this problem, i think i will stay with the 3.5mm output too.

Interesting to see more specs when available. I still use my M3X since the summer of 2021, it’s been solid for me mostly all the time.

A revised current list below. Hiby R6 Gen iii Ibasso DX160 Shanling M3X Cayin N3Pro Hiby M300

I never had this issue. Have you tried another usb-c to type c cable, or try cleaning the plugs?

My R6 Gen iii was at 0% too. Although no problem with charging.

I voted for Moondrop Starfield original as it is the most neutral sounding IEM i have listened to.

I just added this to my DAP inventory and i like how it sounds out of the box. Super snappy processor is actually more responsive than some of the higher priced android players i own.

Have you tried taking the SD card out to see if you can delete the folder on a PC etc?

Yes

Nevermind

For those that owned the previous A series WM A105, is there much of a difference in sound signature at all?

Have you tried a hard reset by holding the power / volume knob down until the screen turns on? I think you have to push for around 10 seconds.

Does the M1S have a similar sound signature to the bigger M3X?

I use my KA3 or BTR5 2021 with my A105. Although i do like the player as a stand-alone too with various iem’s. What battery consumption is drained from your A306 when using the KA3? I’m using around 35% an hour from my A105-KA3 combination, with screen off and playing FLAC 16bit.

I use mine regularly and never had any freeze issues and i can play for 2 hours, sometimes 4 hours in 2 listening sessions in a day. Mine were purchased in 2020 and 1 on original firmware. The other on the next update, which is how i purchased it.
