Light Harmonic Geek Wave
Problem with the latest update is it is as much bull as every single other update. the word beta unit and beta testing has been thrown around every time there is 'an update'. You will never see the wave, I promise you as much. LH's capital (actual not figurative one) has been burnt.- vrapan

Best bluetooth earbuds?
Maybe you should try listening to them without all the f*king then you might come to different conclusions. The OP asked for best so I took it to mean best overall. If he had asked for best sound I wouldn’t have replied. I said they sound good, I didn’t say best I haven’t heard many to say...- vrapan

Best bluetooth earbuds?
Yes AirPods especially if you have an iPhone. But even if you don’t. They sound good they let enough outside noise to leak in to keep you aware of your surroundings and stick in and don’t really fall out. If you have an iPhone pairing and connectivity and gestures are just bonus Oh I know I am...- vrapan

Cayin N5ii Android based Master Quality Digital Audio Player
This, for whatever reason DAP manufacturers get a heck of a lot more leeway than other manufacturers when it comes to half baked products. I've bought and sold a fair few DAPs and I always go back to my phone only because they all run so badly and have so many bugs. N5 II so far is not soooo bad...- vrapan

Cayin N5ii Android based Master Quality Digital Audio Player
is there anyway to force OTA to 3.x ? I am stuck with 2.1 and the device will not attempt an OTA upgrade at all. I know I can do the whole thing with a piece of cable but I am lazy like that.- vrapan

Cayin N5ii Android based Master Quality Digital Audio Player
No aptx support is part of the BT transmitter used and for cost purposes N5II does not include one that supports it. However why would you use a dap for bt headphones? You are not benefitting from the DAC or the AMP of the DAP so why would you not use your phone for that. I never understood...- vrapan

FiiO X7 Mk II 2GB RAM + 64GB ROM + ESS9028 PRO + Balanced + DSD + BT 4.1 aptX + Dual mSD + Dual Band WiFi + Opt Out
The AP200 was an Indiegogo campaign from Hidisz. Though given that quite a few people have received theirs he is kinda trolling.- vrapan

Anyone having issues storing offline content from streaming apps? Player complains it is running out of storage but there is 25GB free of internal memory. I also tried to move my Apple Music to an SD card but the option is disabled.- vrapan

You can use the code even for out of stock items they will honour it when they ship it to you (assuming that’s what you were worried about)- vrapan

Cayin N5ii Android based Master Quality Digital Audio Player
I will make the assumption that the battery is an Lithium ion battery if it is they do not exhibit the memory effect and the best way to keep the battery in good health for along time is to not let it charge fully and never let it completely die. Keep it between 20-80% charge and it will last...- vrapan

Cayin N5ii Android based Master Quality Digital Audio Player
Got mine today, solid player, Android experience much more mature than a fair amount of other players I have tried. I probably prefer the signature of something like the Oppo #3/X7 MKII/Explorer/Cowon P1 but the N5 II is the best compromise of these players. Pocketable and compact, with big...- vrapan
