why do you all take off the orange button?

Doesnt match the theme it is on IMO. Always hated it and didn't use UAPP partly because of that, I know that is stupid but it annoyed me. getting rid of it was a small victory for my sense of OCD peace

Just graphic writing speed adjusts and stuff. nothing looking like audio tweaks that i see

Anyone using a microSD card larger than 200GB capacity in the M2? I did a search and saw one successfully using a 256GB card and wondering if that is indeed still valid.

Reason for the query is I've ran into problems with a 256GB Samsung EVO microSDXC and the AR-M2. Long story kept short, the card became unusable, "corrupted and unreadable" according to Windows via a card reader, when trying to add more music. I determined the card itself was either defective and possibly counterfeit (purchased thru Amazon 3rd party reseller and user review comments indicate this theory) and have returned it. I've ordered a 128GB to use instead since price is cheap.

In the mean time I took a loaded 256GB (another Samsung EVO) that is in my DX200 and put into the M2. The M2 would not read or scan the card at all. It shows as the card being mounted and contains data but the player will not read any of the music files. I put the card back into the DX200 and it's fine.

Interestingly, checking the AR website, the specifications for the AR-M2 Maximum Memory Expansion is "up to 200GB". I thought that limitation is just based on whatever was available in terms of capacity at the time of document publication and most devices could support up to 512GB or even 2TB if/when they ever come into existence in microSD.

I'll order a 200GB when there's a good sale if it is indeed the max that can be read by the AR-M2, confirmed by other owners here. The AR-M2 is my favourite DAP in my collection and I want to get maximum use out of it in terms of storage.

TIA.

I have a 200 gig Toshiba card and internal. That's enough for me and my DSD's/FLAC pretty much. I have a 256 in another device and i will see if i get any errors.

I have Firmware 2.5.6. While it offers gapless playback for flac files it does not do so for wav files.
Does the new Firmware 2.6.3 fix this problem so I can get gapless playback with wav files?
Also if I understand it correctly, I can use either the regular player or the Pro player in Firmware 2.5.6. Am I right?
Thanks for the help.

 

[Hawaiibadboy]

I am still on fw 2.6.3 and it has both players. Not sure of wav, use flac or dsd entirely

Oh...this reminds me!

Did you ever get a chance to try a 256GB micro in the M2, Hbb?

Yes, works but it is not filled, only about 200gig of info plus the device onboard storage and it is all good.

Interesting. I wonder why mine would not acknowledge the 256GB then?

Same. Oh well. I'll just stick with a 200GB in it.
