This was recently reviewed and they referenced the sound is basically the same as the Calyx M do I thought I would post a link to see if any others may have thoughts.

The problem is it looks to be only a DAC/Amp rather than a DAP

Amp/dacs can sound and function better than most daps.

It does NOT have a Class A Amp like the Calyx M, therefore sound should not be exactly as same...

Hi,
I ordered a new Calyx M from Jaben, will I need to burn it ?
Any advises to start with this legendary DAP ?
Thanks for your precious help.

don‘t worry about nothin‘. Load your music, plug in your phones and press play

you can switch between those firmwares as often as you want. Do it!

Uhm, what is the procedure in order to override the fact I already have the latest firmware + Purist mod, so if I want to revert to latest original firmware only, DAP sees it has same version and therefore does not allow me to load it?

Is there a different routine in order to avoid that check? tnx

1.Preparation

l Calyx M, charged enough

l Calyx M firmware downloaded

l A SD-Card, formatted in FAT32

l Copy Calyx M firmware into the root directory of the above SD-Card.


2. Update

l Turn off your Calyx M

l Remove MicroSD card if any, and insult the SD card in 1

l Boot M by pressing the power button while holding REW (<<) key

l The display will be still after the logos of Calyx M and f-clef showing up.

l Press and release REW(<<) key while pressing power button

l Now you are in the update mode and you see blue small prints. (in this mode the display is upside down.)


3. Installing the update file.

l Move the blue bar by using REW(<<) key and FF(>>) key then press PLAY( >) key they the selected menu (by the blue bar) is being done.

l Select “ apply update from SD card” and press the play(>) key

l Select Calyx M firmware then press the play(>) key then the update is being progressed.

l You see yellow prints while the update being progressed.

I If not done automatically, press "reboot system now"

Just remember you will not be able to revert back once done unless you have the Purist rom firmware
I personally think the sound is better with purist rom installed - the last posts instructions should work I have reinstated original to compare in past

Tnx, you mean this one, correct?

I mean advanced purist rom paid version - depends which you have

Little formatting tip: There is no reason prep the cards with anything other than FAT32. It wont know the recent "XFAT" and NTFS is a bit advanced too. Since the player sadly can't play ISO files (probably my main issue with it), there will be no file even approaching the 4GB size of FAT32--so that will run the best.

I have the free one at the moment: btw had an error during the check of the firmware, hope I don't have to format the device...

Btw, the paid version sound better than stock (I hope, as one needs to pay it ), but we are not that sure about the free version.. correct?

we are now 3 people locally , who bought the calyx from jaben and all decided to give up our flagship daps we own in favor of calyx

I for one can absolutely confirm that calyx is better than the following as I own / owned the ones below

1- AK SP2000
2- AK SP 1000 M
3- Ibasso dx220
4- Cayin N6ii
5- AK SE100
6- Chord mojo

If you are wondering if you should buy any of those, then do yourself a favor and spare your money and just buy Calyx M, if you need streaming and can not deal without streaming then go for AK SP2000 that is the only one I rec after calyx m

Again its a total shame Calyx is no more in the dap game, what a shame that they are gone now as they nailed it with their first dap. For the sound calyx gives if they come up with a better ui and streaming and maintain the sound I would easily pay 3k usd for it

After calyx this is how I can evaluate pricing of the daps or dac/ amps should be

1- AK Sp2000--- 300 usd------ 3500 usd retail price is the biggest joke ever
2- AK SP10000 M --- 150 USD
3- chord mojo 160 usd
4- Cayin N6ii-- 100 USD
5- AK SE100-- 80 usd
6- ibasso dx 220 --- 100 usd

that is how they should be priced as calyx now can be bought for 450 usd, those daps or dac/amps above are just milking us and not worth at all the money asked for.

The DX100 the first android dap has a similar sound and similar battery life as the CM.
