OK, that was an experience. I first tried running the .bat file with admin privileges, couldn't find the device. Then without admin privileges it found the device but got stuck at 0%, and then eventually complained about the device not responding. Windows can see it the whole time, but I...

Does it need to be on? I can see it in device manager when it's plugged in to the computer but turned off.

My very loose assumption is that two or more battery counters somehow got out of sync. I'm pretty sure the battery isn't dead. It wouldn't make sense for it to be dead after so little use and proper storage, but perhaps one part of the UP5 seems to think that the battery is fully charged and...

It was fully charged when I stopped using it around August-September. Stored at room temperature throughout. So theoretically, shouldn't be any worse off (should actually be better off) than some device sitting in a box waiting to be bought by a consumer. Since I may have a reason to use it...

Welp, I didn't use mine for a few months and this sounds like the same issue I'm having, on 1.6.3 no less. Now mine will show a charging animation but it won't turn on anymore. Holding both buttons for "recovery" does nothing either. Is there anything else I can try or is my unit totally bricked...

Primary intended use is to pair with a phone as a Bluetooth receiver. But as a USB DAC it is certainly handy when it is hot in summer and my usual setup puts out a fair amount of heat. I don't think it's too much to ask for some semblance of sane battery management in USB DAC mode. If the...

I got my unit, and while I'm generally happy the one thing I can tell is going to be an issue if I understand what's happening correctly is the use case of connecting to a PC. You can either not charge the UP5 at all when plugged in this way, in which case it runs completely off the battery...

Your math is wrong. 83.6 * 39.6 * 14.2 = 47009.952 72 * 32 * 11.2 = 25,804.8 100 * (1 - 47009.952 / 25,804.8) = 82.175% Slight variance from previous 84% figure is because the picture shows 11.2mm for btr 5 depth, while the spec sheet lists 11.1mm.

I stand corrected. EDIT: Well, I can see it going either way. It's an order of operations issue whether you unfold MQA prior to volume correction or after. Question is where the volume correction and unfolding is being done. If it's in the same hardware, then there's a good chance it's a...

Assuming the UP5 software support isn't EOL, and the software team just doesn't feel they have any remaining tasks for the UP5 or continuing to hunt down charging bug, there are still two huge usability issues they can work on: MQA only working when the volume is maxed, and not being able to...

OK. Leaves a bit of a funny taste given the number of people who have came forward with the issue, but is a much better explanation. So we're on the same page, if you do get reproduction steps the software team will fix it and release a new firmware? Development is paused for the moment due to...

Words cannot express how lame it is that every version of the firmware has major issues, the latest firmware has a huge issue with charging, and you have no plans to fix it. Unless you guys are struggling to remain afloat and literally don't have the resources, this comes across as very...

I just ordered a UP5 on the summer sale, and want to make sure I understand this. You guys have stopped work on new firmware? I previously read that there was a slow charging issue with the current firmware and that was being worked on for the next firmware, or did I miss something? Also a...

I think for IEMs it's a mix of ear resonance and broadly poor high end tuning by people who don't have a good understanding of what live acoustic music, and especially cymbals, sound like. I'm basically in the same boat as you. HD-650 doesn't sound too bright. Practically every IEM is too...

Also sorry for resurrecting this, but I think that there's something to be said about bright records selling better, and also bright headphones and iems selling better. I'm a musician, and I've been playing drums for 30 years. Cymbals are generally difficult to record, and a bright record that...

No worries. In fairness it did get blown a bit out of proportion (no pun intended), when myself and a few other posters got stuck in a feedback loop.

It's 84% larger.

Sure, easy to agree that they have some responsibility, but in the case they were misled by a manufacturer the lion's share is on the later. I hope this is easy to agree with too. Correct information existing somewhere on the internet does not give manufacturers carte blanche.

You assert here that a misleading claim from a manufacturer is irrelevant if they also published correct information previously. I don't know about you, but that does sound rather over-permissive to me. If someone came into this thread, saw the "slightly larger" comment, took it to heart and...

You're fallaciously mixing and matching. I asserted that if the specs are accurate, then "slightly increased" is a dishonest description, which is true. I asserted that overly permissive audiophiles enable predatory behavior. Also true. Lesson being, don't be too permissive. I did not assert...

I begrudge dishonesty from manufacturers, as well as overly permissive audiophiles who help to enable predatory practices. There's a reason this industry is littered with exploitation and snake oil, and we consumers are one half of that equation. Notice I never begrudged the size increase. I...

An iPhone 13 Pro Max is 42% larger than an iPhone SE. No one--absolutely no one--would say the former is slightly larger than the later, except facetiously or ignorantly or dishonestly. It's a substantial difference in size which also feels substantial. To get from the one to the other, you need...

For sure. Not an excuse for dishonesty though, again, if the above numbers are accurate.

84% larger by volume. If EdgeDC has the correct numbers, that's anything but slight.
