I didn't think I would use for file playback, but finding I am and seeing the same thing regarding files and how they are listed. Agree that some sorting options within the Eddict would really help those issues. I'm using a 3TB external drive without issues, everything works fast. Using search...

Question about playing from USB - as soon as I switch to USB, ET3 immediately starts playing music. And once I select an album (or a track inside of a directory), it will play all tracks and then automatically proceed to another folder. In Eddict app, the app settings when not connected have...

In the menu, under System Settings, it is listed in the About submenu

ET3 is cat approved. Just like she does with the turntable when a record is spinning, my cat is mesmerized by the ET3 when a CD is spinning.

I've seen it mentioned in reviews, that would be a real drag if it wasn't. I agree, I am totally mystified by this. I still have two multidisc players which are gapless. I still use one, although pretty much exclusively for stuff like Grateful Dead multidisc releases so I don't have to change...

I just received my ET3 yesterday and the first 3 CDs I listened to were mixed so all tracks run together and I did not hear any gaps. I actually was pretty worried when I saw your post as I original had planned to get the EC Mini, but that isn't gapless, so ended up getting this instead...

Thanks for confirming - I'll try and give the EQ apps a run tomorrow, still setting up in general. Have to admit, pretty disappointing. I was using a M1S as a very portable unit, was enjoying that so much decided to get the M3U just to access my Plex server. It does seem that the issue on...

I just received my M3U today. Enjoying and no issues with Apple Music and UAPP, but with Plexamp, I'm getting distortion/crackling. Plexamp streaming is my intended primary usage, so curious if anyone else is experiencing this, and if so, was it working prior to the latest update (v1.23). Also...

Thanks @Daniel Johnston , @Private and @Shanling for the info on that connection and cable. Clearly, I have zero experience with that!

No idea why they use what they have, and I've not used AES before, but below is the X005 Bal2 inputs. I can obviously use with optical/coxial/USB, but was curious about using with AES to give it a try.

Both the ET3 and my X005 Bal2 have the same AES/EBU connection, but the only cables I have that would support this config are super short and won't work in the scenario I would use them in. Can I get any AES/EBU (with male/female ends) and get an adapter for the male end so I have female to...

On paper this looked like dream come true device, but with no gapless playback it was sadly a non-starter for me. I ended up ordering the ET3 yesterday, so I guess it is a win for Shanling, maybe this was part of some marketing scheme to push us to the EC3 or ET3 :-) I'm super excited for the...

I just bought the ET3 and this is pretty much all I want to see :-) Real deal and cool vibes...

Thanks much for this info, that is very disappointing to read, but thought might be the case based on all pictures of units I've seen.

I'm interested in this - this looks perfect to me outside of the gapless issue. But I also have had a number of issues with batteries swelling and destroying some of the audio devices and would be even more interested in this if the batteries were replaceable.

Thanks for articulating what I couldn't!

@Shanling - is there any chance the EC Mini could get a firmware update to enable gapless CD playback? I'm looking for a portable CD player with either/both digital and balanced output, so this seems like what I want, but would never consider a CD player that did not have gapless playback.

I guess that is why I noticed nothing with the boost on v1... :wink: Tested out BT by putting the phone in the bathroom and then steaming to my office, which is about 20 ft down the hall, with 2 walls between the devices. Played without issue for around 10 minutes. Also put downstairs from the...

Yes, this works with USB C/C. It actually comes with two different USB C/C cables, a short one to be used with connecting to a DAP/phone and a longer one.

I received mine (55 hours from ordering to having in hand, that's pretty amazing from China to the US). Mostly the same, which is fine with me as I loved v1 as it handled everything I used daily (computer, CD player and record player). Front looks a little nicer, but no real changes. No...

I ended up ordering from shenzhenaudio and it shipped today, with an expected delivery date of 6/9 - 3 day delivery from China, I will be impressed and very happy. Can't wait to get as I had used my original XD05 Bal daily as everything connected to it and really missing it.

Thanks for posting this, been waiting for this to show up somewhere. Completely unfamiliar with Shenzhen Audio, anyone comment if this is this a good place to order from in the US?

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried this, but can't seem to get the board to move out the other direction either. So disappointed.

Discovered today that my battery was very swollen, so much that I cannot slide the board out enough to try and remove the battery. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any suggestions on getting the battery out? I love my XD05 Bal, but that battery must go :( If I cannot remove and replace...

I feel like my experience with all BT is ruined because when listening to audiobooks with my Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel Buds A, I can go down 3 floors and take the garage out or get in my car without any audio interruptions. Just not the case with my XD05 Bal and anything bluetooth.
