I don't shop on Amazon. I don't shop with Holysai either since they sold me a Cayin N3 with a faulty battery years ago and refused to do anything about it until I asked Cayin to step in and help (incidentally, they subsequently refused to answer my emails after this incident, which struck me as...

On the R3 Pro you just swipe in from the right of the screen (swiping right to left) to get the now playing view (if that's what you mean). Maybe it's the same on the R3 II?

No you're wrong, as I already said:

Maybe check the URL when you visit Ali - I had to delete all the site data on my phone and desktop recently as it kept redirecting to mybest.AliExpress and vi.AliExpress.

I can still see the listing - 36 left (it's also always been searchable on AliExpress website).

No they aren't. Jaben has black ones in stock and if you look on Shopee, there's 3 or 4 other Thai vendors with red and black ones in stock.

Can you say why there is a Thai vendor offering the CP13 on pre-order then? They are one of your authorised distributors I believe (Holysai/Fiio.in.th).

It's one single experience - are you just looking for things to be outraged about? My Fiio A3 has been working fine for the last 3 years but again, that's a single experience so not very relevant.

You've been buying products for 16 years from a manufacturer who you say can't make anything good and you're doing all this so you can share a different point of view with people who like them and for your own pleasure? LOL. I smell a huge heap of BS.

That's exactly what I was wondering. If every product I bought from one brand was complete rubbish, I hope I'd have the intelligence to stop buying them, sooner rather than later.

Yeah, I'm not really interested in Android DAPs either. I've only started considering them because so many of the latest models are running Android. I understand why they're doing it - because so many people use streaming services nowadays - but I still load my own files onto a Micro SD card so...

I don't think any manufacturer is going to use the latest mobile CPU - they simply don't have the purchasing power to be able to do that. I guess Sony could be an exception but even with them, the potential market for DAPs would make it an uneconomical proposition. For me, the limited lifespan...

So now it's been pointed out that you're talking rubbish about the LG, you go on a wild rant? Which Shanling products do you claim to have, when and where did you buy them and what exactly is wrong with each one?

Apple know exactly what hardware their operating system needs to be compatible with as they sell their products as a package so that's a silly comparison. Doesn't seem to stop them having issues but that's another story. Windows can be installed on any PC. Personally, given the vast range of...

I’m fine but if you expect Microsoft to write fully working default drivers for every component that’s ever been made, because you might choose to have one in your PC, you’re clearly not alright. Default drivers are not guaranteed to work, they are there as a fallback. If the component...

Microsoft isn't responsible for the hardware choices you make or the drivers written by the manufacturers of that hardware. Nice rant but completely off base.

It’s not really Microsoft’s fault if 3rd party manufacturers can’t write their drivers properly and don’t update them in a timely manner.

You can just change the screen mode from vivid to natural if you don't like the saturated look.

I always thought it was the music label execs rather than the artists but I have to admit I've never asked them personally.

I'm not really one for new music either. I mostly notice it when I have the misfortune to stumble across a remaster.

Lol. It's a pity the music recording world doesn't frown upon heavy-handed dynamic range compression to make everything louder.

I think it's a comparison between the R2 and the Q1/M0 that people want to read, not between the Q1 and M0. EDIT: Never mind - I didn't see the last couple of posts. Can't seem to delete posts on here?

Surely if you're using it as a digital transport, there would be no sound processing from the Sony involved?
