Cool! How did you pay for it?

How? With PayPal - hehe, but I guess you meant how much? With shipping about 270 Euros. That’s totally ok. But who knows, maybe they only worked for about 10 minutes on the device ahahaha. Well, I don’t care as long as it sounds „better“. Which will be difficult. I think it won’t sound better but different. And that’s fine by me. I will report back as soon as I have compared them!

Yes, "Tippfehler" corrected.

EUR 270.- is more than acceptable. Tempting. I am now even more torn apart ahahahah

Calyx M and Dethonray HA-2 already being a totl portable combo, the Romi might add some extra clarity and power to the player. With the HA-2, well, idk.

I am looking forward to reading your thoughts, with and without HA-2

You have to format your card in FAT32. I think the Calyx M doesn’t read exFAT.

Afaik Calyx M can read both format, can't he?

here it says FAT32 or NTFS.

but maybe both works

Always been intrigued by the Calyx M. How does it compete with something like the Lotoo PAW6k?

I think NTFS is exFat... Might be wrong though. Anyway...

P6K seems to be slightly brighter/reference sounding. I would compare the P6K to the DTR1, P6K having PEQ and modern UI, DTR1 being powerful, clear and hardcore UI. Both sport a good LO.

Modding through Romi Audio sees the Calyx M getting the follwing mods (according to Dino from Romi):

"Boost up on digital signal input
And upgrade Capacitor on Analog output circuit
Also Shielding inside
Output is more powerful and clear
Keep warm and resolution up"

Does the mod improve the battery life too?

Ask @noplsestar after he got back and tested his unit. If not proven otherwise, I would say no

What @F700 says. No. They told me with the battery everything is ok. They wouldn’t change it.

I own the Calyx M, Lotoo Paw Gold and Lotoo PAW Gold Touch. The Calyx M has an organic sound that is easy to like, even if it is not quite as 'reference' as the Lotoo offerings. However, the Calyx M is a dog on the OS side, as the processor simply cannot keep up with the software. There is also no Folder browser. I came to view it as pretty much unusable for daily use. Glitch, freeze, glitch...

Nonetheless, I have little argument with the SQ... A bit on the thick side but oh so sweet.

Thank you. I'll likely take a plunge knowing the limits in advance. I have a soft soft for these daps that focus solely on music even at the expense of a user friendly experience. Nevertheless, is it possible, for example, to search by genre and artist without issue?

There is also no Folder browser.

But there is an option for folder view in the settings. Seems to work for me unless I'm mistaken?
