Any love for the Activo CT10?

Both are great. I use M0 in my car with usb and CT10 for when I walking my dog or away. MO is very small for traditional use whilst CT10 is great.
My wife also uses an M0 in her car as works superbly with the Mini audio set up.
Do you regularly use the streaming services on the CT10?
If so can you download music for offline use like the apps can on other operating systems?

You can download music to listen to offline using any of the sideloaded apps. In the settings for each individual app, you can select where to save the offline content - either in internal memory or on microSD card.

Just received an update for the CT10. Initial impressions are good, very good actually. Seems like the took the treble down a db but kept the clarity. Bass is solid and most importantly... Mids are BACK. Let me know if anyone else gets the update and what their impressions are.

Just got free trial to Amazon Ultra HD after seeing activo post on fb today. Unfortunately,when checking for a song's resolution, nothing is played higher than 24/48, apparently because that is what amazon recognizes the ct10 as capable of. This is noted when one touches the ultrahd symbol under the song. It may list a recording in 24/192, but will play it at best at 24/48. Hope this can be corrected in the future. And ideas, Jason? I looks like this

Track quality. 24-bit/192hz
Device capability. 24-bit/48hz
Currently playing at 24-bit/48hz.

Thanks for the post. We are still testing the newest version of the Amazon Music app internally. Any app installed via OpenApp should bypass the internal Android sound processing and pass off the sound processing to the DAC to play back in the full, original resolution. It looks like the Amazon Music app is not doing this and is defaulting to the Android sound processing which maxes out at 24/48. I passed this onto our dev team to research. All other sideloaded streaming apps are bypassing and playing at full resolution.

Thanks for the response. Hope you can work it out

I can't seem to get to any of the groovers.jp site pages for downloads like the manual.

Yup
its the best part of this device

I upgraded to a 512GB card so I can download as much HiRes albums from Qobuz while I am at home on my Wifi for offline listening elsewhere where I don't have wifi.
I keep it with the charge cable because the Qobuz downloads use up the battery fast
I do the same with my R3 with my Tidal subscription

The CT-10 sure heat's up though while it's downloading all those tracks.
So I put it on one of those portable USB powered laptop cooling fans

Is this typical?

@JasonNYC
When using spotify and tidal with the screen off, fast forward button and rewind button doesn’t work properly. Even if I press the fast forward button one time, it works as if I pushed the button three times. Same for the rewind button. This doesn’t happen when my screen is turned on. Is this same for all the other people? or am I the only one who has this problem?
