@CayinSupport, in a future firmware update would it be possible to open a third party app such as Spotify, listen in offline mode to downloaded songs and then activate audio priority mode? Currently if you do this it closes the app. Battery drain appears to be higher even if not connected to...

Same for me, I found that if you turn it off first then press the two buttons it worked.

They are available from Advanced MP3 Players. Bought mine from there last week with a 12% off code making it very good value for money

Had the N5II for a few days now and think it's fantastic. Well done Cayin! However I'm struggling to get album art working either as embedded or jpeg saved in album folder. I used Album Art Downloader to retrieve the images. Am I missing something, can anyone help?

This may be a stupid question but if you have no wifi connection can you tether your phone's data allowance to the N5ii using a personal hotspot to stream apps?

Mine doesn't click in either, I assumed it was normal but obviously not. It holds in place fine once the case is on though.

Gradius, where did you buy the OPA2111SM from? I can only find it on Ebay and it is more than I wanted to pay. Thanks.

Just a heads up to leeperry and the others who recommended the 49720HA's. I got some samples from National and put them in last night. Installation was easy following the advice on page 10. I was previosuly using the 49720NA's but they just seemed to lack something but these rock! Thanks guys.

I had a similar problem to this a few months back. I was using Vista 64 on an ASUS motherboard with an ESI Juli@ with no problems. Unfortunately the motherboard died so i switched back to my old nForce 4 board which is notorious for sound issues. I found I would get pops and crackles when...

I highly recommend Avast. It doesn't hog system resources, has removed virus's which AVG would not and best of all its free! Download it here: avast! 4 Home Edition - FREE antivirus software - Download You have to give your email address so that they can send you a key for one year's usage.

Quote: Any HDMI receiver or amp suggestions? Any other options? I am very tempted by this: Onkyo Europe - TX-SR606 Has got great reviews everywhere I have looked. Check it out, its £400 so not sure if your budget can stretch this far, mine certainly can't atm lol.

Hi, welcome to the forums! I have read up quite a bit on this lately since I was also going to build a HTPC. In terms of playing Blu Ray/HD DVD, you can only get playback of the new high def. audio tracks such as Dolby TrueHD straight from the disc through a computer using a hdmi connection...

Thanks trodas, it looks great! Can't wait to hear it

Hi, does anyone know whether the Creative Gigaworks s750 speaker system has DC offset protection? I've had my X-Fi modded and the coupling caps removed and shorted with a notable DC offset and just want to ensure no damage is done to the speakers. Thanks.

Hi, I am going to purchase some AC DC cd's but I am unsure as to which re-issues will give the best sound quality. Specifically, for the "For Those About to Rock" album there is a 1994, 1998 and 2003 release. Can anybody shed some light onto their respective sound quality? Thanks

Hey guys, great work here. I too would like to mod my x-fi with an opamp and a blackgate but dont trust myself with a soldering iron. Is there anyone in the UK who has done the mod and are confident enough to do it again? I can get the necessary parts, pay shipping and a fee if necessary...
