I hate to dispel your assumption that people like me who don't post on this forums are 'more or less' happy with my Poly/Mojo. Mojo yes, but Poly a sound NO! I don't post here often and in fact probably once. And this thread is about the Poly. While I have no way to proof whether their firmware...

Both my wife's and my Polys finally got their updates yesterday and they finally worked. Note the past tense, worked. That's right they worked flawlessly last night. Was so happy and was enjoying myself thoroughly before finally succumbing to sleep bug. Anxiously turned on my unit this morning...

It may be subtle at first but the differences become more and more apparent over time especially with the right songs. I too didn't feel the difference at first and thought its all gimmick to use filters but realize it can even change the sound signature of the player. So slow roll-off works...

Andy might have run out of steam (you did look tired when I met you) yet you solved my long standing issues with my player. Very glad I met you at Cayin booth in person, fantastic personality and am grateful for helping me despite having a long day. Wish you have a great stay in Singapore!

I really envy you guys able to complain about how Tidal music stutters because I can't even get any third party app running!   They all hang on startup. Tried clearing all sorts of cache, tried updating the firmware several times. Tried clearing the entire files and folders from the device and...

I wouldn't go that far to describe M1's sound signature thin. Soft maybe, bright perhaps. While the i5 has copious and tight bass, the default sound profile does not encourage prolonged listening. Changing it to the 3rd option (long delay I think) helps.   I used to be particular with details...

Yes same issue. Its not an android player although the OS is Linux based.

I disagree. Thin sounding is neither flat nor neutral. And this, the M1, is not. It has pronounced high treble, the mid sits slightly above neutral and a prominent lower bass. The mid highs and mid lows have been pushed back making it sounding less fatiguing but that's the W shape I am...

Its true that badly recorded music sound just... bad. There's just no point flogging a dead horse. But well recorded pieces do sound inferior on compressed formats. YMMV but I do hear the differences on all my gears.   When ripping a CD recording into both WAV and FLAC formats in 16/44, the...

Bright yes. But by no means thin. Perhaps it is because the player has a W shaped sound quality that may give the impression of thin sounding. The resulting sound is highly addictive which you'd be tempted to raise the volume as it sound even better when played loud.   But such sound signature...

Means the player is unforgiving to lower quality music, especially compressed ones. Side to side comparison is clear that they just don't sound as dynamic, have smaller soundstage and the extremes generally don't sound extended. In a nutshell, it's boring.   FLAC is highly recommended if you...

The line remote doesn't work. Don't know about the Bluetooth though.

This is a warm sounding players. Sandisk Sansa was nice for it's time but you'll find M1, though bigger and heavier, a world of difference. In fact I've just thrown away my Sansa which I found it while doing spring cleaning. Too bad didn't take a picture of it.

The player sounds better after 24hrs of run in. Let's hear from your impressions again after this.

Zippy is the impression. It's arranged in alphabetical orders but you can't pick which alphabet to skip to. However, there's a directory under My Music in the main screen which allows you to perform quick access to My Favourites, Albums, Artists, Genre and Playlists.

One of my wife's was whether there's any selection available for the font size. The other nag point is the test of patience if the album I pick is at the bottom of the directory.   Fortunately, the wife (it was bought for her) likes the sound signature very much while she found the Cayin i5...

Fast on my 200GB Sandisk Ultra too. However, the player doesn't appear to like odd formats. One of the albums is on 24bit 44Khz Flac and it simply shows 'No Files Found'.

There's a flap that folds to the back and then below to be fastened with a clip. The gap created allows the strap to pass through.

I suppose it depends on the headphones/earphones as I realized that the UERR does indeed smooths out the treble a little. I did notice this when one of my favourite songs did not show up any clippings. Pulled out the GR07 bass edition which has profound V shaped sound signature and did...

Went to Jaben Singapore during lunch time with the intention to try out the Hidizs AP60 with Cayin i5, Fiio E17K and UE Pro Reference Remastered towing along.   The first thing that came to my mind when handed a demo set was:" Wow this is tiny!" It looked well made but there were already some...
