How long does it take to load 256GB of files when you turn it on?
I have more than 600GB of FLAC library. I'd love to be able to carry them all.

600 dollars for a 512GB SD card is not bad. I'm sure there will be a cheaper version of this SD card by other companies such as PNY.
I'm considering buying this with M.

I only have 64 GB loaded inside, it is pretty fast (under 20 second) but when I had the 128 GB connected it took upto few minutes. My tags are pretty clean and has no junk so it can vary.

That sucks. So can I assume that 512GB will take up to 10 mins?
No one knows yet. lol

230GB of music took about 5 minutes to scan

That's pretty long time for a portable device. Say, you turn that device on the street, then you have to wait 5 mins!

They should remove this process. Rockbox OS works fine without scanning.

And when can we get a proper folder navigator??
512GB SD would be very messy without a proper folder navigator.

I never had any problems with the volume slider whatsoever. Never bumped the volume more than I wished, never did the piece fall of. I think people just want to nitpick and find problems where there are none. Sure, say about the battery life (which is the same for many other high-end DAPs) or the lag, but the volume slider imho is perfect.

For my low impedance CIEM, the slider is really hard for me to do a minor adjustment on the volume, even the onscreen slider, both are difficult to control

Okay so I am sending my first unit back to audio advisor when I receive the fedex box from them. They are giving a full refund and even covering the return shipping. They also offered to reduce the price of the unit as it is used however I decided to order another unit. Great customer service. They had no other m's available though.

I purchased and received another M from Acoustic Sounds and although the outer brown box that holds the m box is torn in the cradle that holds the m box in place, this M is sealed. The m box itself is covered with shrink wrap.

I decided to read this thread in its entirety before opening it and I was wondering if anyone had any issues with the m and the jh13 fp's?

  you are definitely going to regret selling the parterre after its gone
 
Try the k10 custom, actually they have a universal now that might work well as well. It synergises with the M quite well

Of course I will regret it, I regret selling my ie800's too......but, it's all part of the journey. Now what next....maybe K10's, maybe some Ocharaku's? K3003's? Addicted to Audio are sending my M jack out to me tomorrow so shouldn't have to worry about impedance issues. What has killer synergy?

Did you contact addicted to audio about your M jack or they contacted you?

Re: Scanning time
It takes reasonably short time upon power on if the contents of the memory cards are not updated. It takes long time only when new files are added to the card, or some files are deleted (hence I recommend deleting files from M's UI directly). Card swapping can be troublesome. I'm using a 128g micro sd, a 256g sd and some 128 sds.

I finally opened the M this morning and currently have it charging. The funny thing is even though it was sealed with cellophane the sleeve that slides off has a different serial number than the card and the unit, both the card and the unit match. The inner box with the usb cables also contained the impedance adapter. I am thinking that acoustic sounds may have been adding the adapters to multiple boxes and mistakenly placed the wroung sleeve on my box and then sealed the boxes. Why is it so hard to find a new factory sealed M from a distributor?

So, how long does it take to load 480GB?

It took about 2min from booting, but actually you can access every song after 30 sec from booting without file update.

 

[kawaivpc1]

So, it must be 5 min for 512GB SD card + 128 micro ad + 64gb.

I gave Addicted to audio a call on Friday, they sent it on Monday, arrived today - Tuesday.

Has anyone tried pairing StageDiver SD2 with the M?  Very curious about the synergy. Since I'm not getting an ideal sound out of F111, just trying to get something along the same line.
