    Beyer Dynamic T70 - Barely a Beyer? (Review)

    I have had the t70 250ohm for a few years now and they still get regular listening time and form part of my keepers collection of headphones - I have many high end and expensive headphones but these are a great contrast to others I own for me I find these similar to the ath-m70x in that they...

    The Pono Player Impressions Thread

    Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

    I discovered this combination also - had almost written off the m70x until I tried it with my calyx m - the synergy is fantastic - shame they don’t pair so well with other sources

    Reply to review by 'tonyc2468' on item 'Calyx Audio M'

    Just a quick comment - you can add all tracks to a single playlist easily and then play all using shuffle so you can play all on this device - still a great sounding player after all these years

    Shanling M5s now with TIDAL - Dual AK4493EQ DAC, fully balanced, Wi-Fi, 2way LDAC BT, 3.2 Touch screen, FW 3.7

    Hi Battery drain appears to be faster when playing music - indicator goes to under half while playing music after 1.5 hrs - if you leave idle in stand by for a couple of days it’s red - wifi etc off This only occurred after the firmware upgrade - could leave for several weeks in standby no...

    $999 Calyx M with DXD + DSD, 64GB + SD + µSD storage

    Just remember you will not be able to revert back once done unless you have the Purist rom firmware I personally think the sound is better with purist rom installed - the last posts instructions should work I have reinstated original to compare in past

    $999 Calyx M with DXD + DSD, 64GB + SD + µSD storage

    Hi just remember if this is the paid fidelizer advanced ROM you will need to have the firmware file in order to change back from a stock firmware and if player came with fidleizer already installed you may not be able to go back to this if you load original as you can not just down load this...

    Shanling M5s now with TIDAL - Dual AK4493EQ DAC, fully balanced, Wi-Fi, 2way LDAC BT, 3.2 Touch screen, FW 3.7

    Just wondering if there has been any solution to song limit from all tracks The 40,000 file limit does not seem to apply to all tracks -anything over approx 20,000 freezes when you select track to play Selection of artist, folder etc work fine with 30,000 tracks but trying to shuffle from all...

    The issue of playing from songs and the player instantly freezing occurs definitely above 30,000 songs - as per my previous post this was verified on 4 different cards Less than 20,000 songs appears to work fine on same card just deleting songs in excess of 20,000 - I am not sure where the cut...

    Just my opinion I have 2 of these DAP -the fidelizer advanced purist rom is installed on one and the other is stock My experience has been slightly better boot up time and response on the mod- and on blind test listening to same track volume matched I seem to pick out and prefer the mod -...
