I am experiencing the issue with all DSF files. Tried a few hard resets. Everything plays except for DSD/DSF files. The DAP freezes on any of them 64, 128 or 256. Please advise! Thanks
Did you do that (1) unplug earphones, and (2) replug earphones trick? If you’re using any adapter, unplug that too — everything needs to come off the SP2K.

Thank you @bden59 !! Regrettably, the firmware on that drive is for CN version. Mine is CM.
Yes, that trick only works intermittently.

So, I flashed 1.26 risking to get a brick (LOL), luckily it didn't turn into one. That triggered an update to 1.46 (can share if anyone cares). I reflashed it twice and still the same. DSFs either play with a stutter, or don't play at all.

Well, I am not experiencing any issues; every time I un/re-plug, the DSFs play so uhh... thanks but I am not going fudge around with a firmware update. Good luck with getting a permanent fix though, I suspect the SP2K is nearing EOL... 😞

i also have the same issue with the DSD file that can not play well, also the USB DAC cannot be used after last year's update, I remembered i tried to explain my situation here last year but no much people respond to it lmao.
