Honestly as much as I like Benjie for a budget device the quality control is terrible, had multiple failures of 3.5mm jacks and buttons. If you can live with 32gb storage the Xduoo x2 is still good, if you can push your budget get a Fiio M3K unless you need bluetooth

I second this. I got a M3K because of the constant crackles that the S8 gives me when playing back flac files. I just use the S8 for sleep music now

Does the S5 struggle with FLAC? I can hear lost of background noise when playing. I don’t here it on another DAP.

Also, I have watched it play files out of order.

with these less expensive daps you have to use a free program called Fat Sorter to make sure that all your albums are in alphabetical order. Also make sure the song titles within the album are numbered. Otherwise they will play in the order in which you added them to the card. Unless you mean that shuffle play is turned on... if that is the case you can turn that off.

Hi Guys & Gals,

The above DAPs all share the same SOC, thus they sound alike and always as a practice, when you unbox a new system or flash a new firmware, always do a Hard Reset/Factory Reset...

From reading the various complains about playing FLAC files especially..most likely a cache issue due to the new flashed memory status..
After you reset everything, I assure you the crackling,, stuttering, lagging audio and freezing of your DAP, Bluetooth devices and other digital Audio devices will magically disappear.

PS. Thanks AGPTEK for the Great Supportive firmwares that the Benjie Co is unable to deliver

So AGPTEK make custom firmware?

they have great firmwares..and its compatible with many BENJIE Mp3 players as they are OEMs but with different model numbers..Google to find their corresponding models

I switched to Agptek firmware on all my Benjie devices: S5, K3, and S8. I find it to be more functionaI than Benjie stock firmware. You can find most of it on the official website.

I didn't find much difference in appearance for the S5, but really important bugs were fixed : m4a plays correctly instead of skipping randomly in the track, and flac stopped clicking.

Thanks for the info guys

Is there a list of which benjies are best? 1, 2, 3, etc?

Many of them use the same SoC, so there's not much sound difference between those models. Don't think Benjie came up with anything significantly better than the S5, but then again I haven't heard any of the newer models (S8 was my last).

 

[LaughMoreDaily]

Thanks. I just found the post saying so. I forgot I've read it before.

I wonder if Benjie will keep pushing out new models instead of making even better sound? BENJIE, I know you'll read this... we want even better sound for the King!

Looks like a Android Benjie is coming soon

While I haven't heard it, the T6 should actually sound (at least a bit) different from the others, because it supports DSD and high res PCM so it's a different DAC inside (a cirrus logic iirc)
