cheers. it's due in mid April. will let you know how I get on

Frustratingly, the same fault on the new DX240 so it's time to give the M11 Plus a go.

Thanks. I have another DX240 from iBasso to trial and if that doesn't work then it's going to be the Fiio M11 and just hope you're right that its user-friendliness has improved significantly since the X5iii.

Hi folks. I have two primary demands of a DAP: - reliable bluetooth connection - ability to process 80,000 plus songs seamlessly I have been using: - a Fiio x5iii for a few years and it is ok on the first but not so good on the second - there is a long lag and it is very clunky - aAK Sr15 for...

So I am roadtesting an IBasso DX240 which is working really well except in one respect and that is the Bluetooth connection. I have tried it with a Sony Soundbar, Bowers and Wilkins headphones and Sony in ear phones and the same issue crops up with all - and it is a dangerous one. When I...

Quick question if I may. I am looking for a DAP that can handle up to 100,000 songs. I may be odd (aren’t we all in some way?) but I listen to cds when i can (home or car) and my DAP when on the move. I like to carry all my music with me and use it on shuffle when on the go as it is like having...

Thanks. Really appreciate that. Out of interest how many tracks do you have - I gather from past experience it's the number of tracks not necessarily the memory size that affects performance.

Hi there. I have one prime requirement from a DAP and that is the ability to handle 80,000+ tracks (555GB). I currently have a Fiio x5iii which is a bit glitchy running that amount. I also have the A&K SR15 which is even more glitchy with that amount (works OK up to 40-50,000 then falls down...

Hi folks. Quick question. I have at Sr25 and have just bought the new Sony WF-1000xm4 earbuds. i cannot seem to get the Sony Headphones Connect App set up on the SR25 - is there a compatibility issue? Any help gratefully received.

Thanks - got the 1.18 version working ok so will now try this one. One question - is there a way to make it the default option so that when I switch the player on it just picks Foobar back up instead of me having to go into services and activate it - once I activate it it does exactly what I...

Yes, there were two such tracks which I have removed but everything else appears to be a supported file. The vast majority are AAC (copied from cd) with a handful of purchased AAC, some MPEG audio files and the two protected AAC files which I have removed.

Thanks Jason -Your explanation sounds entirely logical so would be interested what your dev team say. I have tried the manual media scan many times without success. I cannot see the "clear playlists" option - where is that in settings? Cheers

I have tried installing Foobar2000 but keep getting an error message - error parsing the package. No idea what this means and no obvious way to solve.......

I am happy to try anything so will have a look at that over the weekend,. Many thanks.

My inevitable next question is....does anyone know of a device which can handle 75,000 files (mostly lossy) and works properly with that volume?

Hi JAson I have tried everything I can think of including a completely ne card formatted only in the player and then loaded up bit by bit. but no joy Same problem. Once I get past 50,000 tracks it all gets flakey. And I have heard back from A&K via their European service operation in...

OK so: - format checked - FAT32 confirmed - protected items deleted - microsdcard checked for corrupt files - none identified - manual rescan performed and.....still the same problem. To recap: 1 I switch on 2 I wait for media scanning to finish (10-15 mins) 3 I go into songs (takes c15...

Thanks Jason. relly helpful. It transpires there is a way of checking and I have 2 protected tracks. So overnight I am going to: - check the format - delete the two protected items - try and identify any corrupt files then try again. Will let you know how I get on. Thanks again

Thanks Jason - yes, I am sure I formatted to FAT32 - but will double check - have tried the initialize media scanand hasn't worked - all copied from Itunes and in same format (by the time I learned about better ways to digitalise my cd collection, I was too far gone..) I don't suppose there is...

MAny thanks - appreciated

Hi folks. So it's about 4 months since I last posted as I was having a specific issue with the otherwise excellent SR15, bought to replace a Fiio x5 3rd gen. The issue is simple. I have about 75000 tracks. When I load the first 50,000 or so, functionality is great. As I increase the number...
