Yes you can set it at the right most two way arrows:
Un-select home, and rearranging artists to the 1st in the list (with the house icon 1).16675233113824107456520838161736.jpg
Good find! Very helpful. Thanks

Any recommendation for a Bluetooth remote control, please?
Any Bluetooth media remote should work without issue. Many people use cheap, under $20 Bluetooth remotes from Amazon. I will try and find some of the specific ones people have used and share.

@JasonNYC, is there another delay for the silver version and if there is what is the ETA? November 4th (today) was suppose to have been today.
Yes. We were notified last week by the HQ team in Korea that our shipment was slightly delayed. They were supposed to be here early this week. We are expecting them early next week and hopefully in dealers hands by the end of next week. Dealers were notified last week as soon as we found out and should have shared the info.

Thanks for the update. I have the black version but my buddy was interested in the silver one.

Is it easy to use and straight forward to organise the album’s and artwork? The other thing I’m wondering is how good FLAC sounds on the Dap. At the moment I have only been listening to Tidal hi-fi and MQA and I don’t think I‘ve heard a FLAC recording (only ever used Apple gear).

This is the first time I’ve ever pulled the trigger on something so costly without first doing hours and hours of research beforehand. Normally I read through threads here multiple times for user impressions, check reviews multiple times, and then ask fellow headfi’ers numerous questions. Even then I’m still uncertain. With the SP3000 though, I seemed to just have had a confidence in the product that I made my mind up quickly and pre-ordered it within a couple of days of it being announced. For me that’s both scary and exciting. I’m trying not to count down the days until it’s delivered.
Let us know your impressions and overall experience 😁.

I have the SP2000 and my experience is that there's really no burn-in and more of a warm-up time for the oscillators to be optimally stable (usually 30 minutes or earlier of continuous playback in my experience). Your IEMs are sensitive enough to notice it where the sound will be a bit unnerving and then after warm-up, the sound will relax and all the microdetails and dynamics will flow effortlessly
Wow that’s interesting, I would have never thought of something like this, that actually makes sense.

I’ll be trying my current iems and HPs when mine arrives, but haven’t ruled out getting some new iems it’s about time anyway. The AK Odyssey are expensive but I’m willing to test them which could be dangerous. Did I read somewhere that they are only a limited edition? That might make it hard to get them or listen to them before ordering.
Yep and down the rabbit hole you go.
