Factory reset I think is:- Hold the power button and play button for around 10 seconds - hope this helps

My M9 has developed some black broken lines which run across the bottom half centimeter of the screen... ...the screen is still usable in this area but it doesn't look great. Anyone else have a similar problem?

Will Neutron provide better sound quality than Fiio Music? Also having just installed Neutron and chosen DLNA and Foobar2000 runining on my Windows PC the scan is taking forever. I have about 4GB of music stored in folders. I only want to select by folder (I do not trust the tagging). In...

Sorry my mistake I meant Yellow not Green:- Also playing tracks that I know are High Res eg 24-96 has the LED light Purple and then other 24-96 stuff displays as Yellow? There are no problems with these 24-96 Hi Res files my Creek 50CD DAC displays that they are 24-96 and so does my Squeezebox...

I know this thread is full of comments about the problems with the M9 - but until now I have been happy with mine. Tonight I tried doing something I haven't done before. Previously I had always listened to the M9 via headphones... Tonight I selected LO and linked the M9 to an auxilary line...

Yes the PC has be switched on. I am not a huge expert on this myself - you have to set in Foobar2000 where you music is stored. I think you have to have Foobar2000 running on the PC too. That is unless you can run Foobar2000 on the NAS (I don't have one so cannot advise you on this)

I installed foobar2000 on my PC which is connected to a 5TB USB drive with all my Flac music collection on...... I then selected DNLA on my M9. For this you need to open the Fiio Music App first and choose Settings (in Fiio Music).... ....then choose DLNA (this is NOT the Settings from the...

I have a 2018 UK Ford Kuga with Ford Sync 3 Entertainment System - I am struggling to connect the M9.... My car does not have a Line In that I can find..... So I decided to connect via USB. When I select to Browse on the incar display the M9 it says the folder is corrupted. I also tried using...

February 2019 Hi-Fi World - written by Noel Keywood (who seems to do all their DAP reviews). Here are some excerpted quotes from the review:- "The M9 had the speed and sound balance I heard from the M7, even though they use different DACs. It was an immediately impressive sound, if not as...

Yes I have the Qobuz HiRes subscription so that is why I bought the M9. Used to have the Fiio X3 2nd Gen - but that didn't do Wi-Fi. Qobuz on the M9 means I don't have to remember to load up the micro sd card when I go on holiday. Disappointed by the Hi-Fi World review though - they loved the...

BTW I figured out the problem with the Fiio link. I didn't realise you had to switch on Fiio Link in the M9 Fiio Musics settings for it to work. First time I have used this Fiio link stuff.

I bought an M9 at Xmas and have been generally pleased with it. Just read the latest review in Hi-Fi World - They say it is plagued by digital noise ? They think CD quality stuff is OK but Hi-Res pretty poor. They claim distortion of 0.13% results in a dynamic range of only 104db (less than...

I have been using Mullard 8161 tubes in my LD III since Xmas. I changed the jumpers when I installed these EF92 tubes. I noticed that someone on another thread suggested that when you change the jumpers to EF92 - you also need to change the big power tubes as well. Is this correct as my amp...

I do have a wireless router - but I just switched it off and it made no difference. ...this really does sound like transformer hum to me! Are the transformers on the LD III normally silent ?

I have recently bought a year old LD III on Ebay. I am getting what sounds like Transformer Hum on switch on. The hum is NOT through the headphones just in the room. I get the noise even if nothing is connected to the Little Dot. It is annoying whilst I am warming up the Little Dot and I can...

For years I have been using a decent quality QED digital coaxial lead to link my Marantz CD63 Ki Signature to my Cambridge Audio Dacmagic DAC. However, recently the coaxial socket on the Marantz started to get crackly. So I switched to using Optical Toslink and if anything the sound quality...

Had a problem recently with my CX300s giving very low volume on the left channel. Was sure that it was due to ear wax going through the left grill. Could not see how to remove grills easily so I chewed a small peice of plastic off the retaining rim with pliers and levered off the grill. Sure...

Nice start to the day today - got an email telling me that I won a pair of HD650s in a competition I entered a while back. Made my day !! I currently use a Little Dot II (non plus model with 1K2 tubes) with my Goldring DR150s. Is the Little Dot likely to sound OK with the HD650s or should I...

Thanks for your advice guys!! I just pulled the trigger on a pair of DR150's - got a good price (£60 delivered) . Can't wait to get them!

I had Audio Technica ATH-911 headphones purchased in 1989 before. When you say the DR150 is a tad brighter would you say the tonal balance is bright per se (or just brighter than the HD555)??

I am going to take the plunge and buy some new Headphones to go with my Little Dot 2 Amplifier. At the moment unless I can find a cheap pair of HD600's I'm almost certain I'm going to go for either the Goldring DR150 or Sennheiser HD555. The reason I got rid of my old headphones was they...

Struggling to find some HD600's in my budget. I have noticed the rave reviews for the Goldring DR150 headphones - how would these compare to HD600's? Are the DR150's over bright sounding?

I recently bought my first headphone amp (a Little Dot II) and am enjoying listening through cans for the first time in years from my Marantz CD63 MkII Ki Signature CDP. The only headphones I have at the moment are Audio Technica ATH-911's which I bought around 1989. I seem to remember in...
