Sound-wise I really hated the standard amp card. Haven't tried any other card since the software is the worst and less reliable piece of code ever, which is why my HM650 has been inside its box for the past 4 years.

Yep, it's the stock. Wasn't aware of 2.5c's design.

See if this helps. @11min, 20seconds (not sure if it's the same on your cable, though...)

Thanks. Submitted a message through their contact form this morning. Let us wait n see That would actually be great... for an out-of-warranty product, I would probably feel happy with that resolution. Problem here is they are not selling the 3's for quite some time, I believe. So they would...

Hi guys, So... this just happened: As I was getting ready to replace the tips, one of them seems to have glued to the monitor, and it broke it when I attempted to pull it harder. Do you know if there is something I can do? Perhaps if the shell is replaceable and where I could purchase it...

OK, understood! Let me add I am really enjoying N3. Good job, guys!

Thank you for the clarification! I will try a usb connection to Hugo, then. If I may ask another thing: when I connect N3 as a Bluetooth digital source to my car radio, I can play all PCM files (tested up to 24/192) but the DSD ones fail with N3 displaying something like "play failed. File type...

DSD128 signal can be carried through coax, I believe. But I guess this is limited by your max 24/192 PCM output, right? If that’s the case, I’ll return your cable and buy a usb one from another brand. According to your link, that should work.

@CayinSupport, is this information enough? Should I try any procedure and revert with its outcome?

Hello and thank you for your assistance! System setting\Firmware version: 2.2 Music setting\S/PDIF: DoP Tested DSD files: DSD128 (5.6MHz) I have never reset the player. I received it 1 or 2 weeks ago, upgraded the firmware as soon as I unboxed it, and that's it.

@CayinSupport , can you help me out?

I believe this only happens if the lock option is selected under Settings menu

Hi Guys, Sorry if this was already discussed (couldn't find it), but I'm pairing my N3 with a Chord Hugo 2 using Cayin's own usb-c to coaxial cable. PCM files seem to be recognized as expected (e.g., 24/192 is identified by Hugo), but DSD files are playing with the colour that matches 88.2 or...

Hi,   I am in a rush now, and will get back here and post some details, but I do have a Pholus conditioner by Audiotricity where I have the following connected:   - source #1: mac mini - source #2: nad c542 cd player - dac: audiolab mdac - power; jeff rowland model 102   My setup ended...

are you running the latest firmware? Check your player for your current version and compare it to the one available at their site. There were crashes while browsing through your album list, and those were fixed.

It does not display numeric album names, though... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll try and keep this updated.   Quote:

Sure, will do my best

I have now decided to rename the firmware file to "update.zip" (customer service had told me not to rename the file, but it seems they had named it wrong....) and it loaded! It shows UI Version: 2.004.20150820 Beta   I just tested that an artist with multiple albums does not crash your player...

Even better, comment on my post or post yourselves. It seems they take it seriously and we need to ensure we are heard

Guys,   I posted on Hifiman's FB and they sent me an email with a beta firmware a few hours after. I was told not to share it until they release it. I am now telling you this as I have been trying to load the FW for more than one week, and they now talk about two different player versions...

I believe you'll find previous posts stating that we have contacted hifiman customer services regarding software bugs and no positive feedback was given.   I think it is time to head to their fb page :)

Do you feel confident enough to buy this DAP after you read that their CSR recommends buying a new player when you report issues for the one you own? :) 

I heard that one over a month ago: "We will do our best to recover the bugs. Maybe you could try our HM901S, please wait for a while, it will be released some time later, not sure yet." For me, I guess this is the end on what hifiman is concerned. I guess Facebook might be the preferred place...

I did find it strange when you posted their reply above: "This one is noted bug to us, that is under the same artist if you search albums, and albums are more than 3, it tends to crash and reboot. We will improve on this aspect for future design." It seems they agree a bug has been found, but...
