Thanks,If you find the download speed is surprisingly slow, it probably because a lot of users are trying to download the package at the same time. Please try our mirror link on the firmware download page. This is a Google Drive download link, so the download speed should be relatively stable. I am not sure if you can save the file to your personal Google drive and download from there, which should further isolate your from the short term peak load.

Cayin, thank you for the update.
For me, the google drive download was meaningfully faster than the other method. Like mored than 5x faster. Almost speedy vs. pokey. Other users; try it you may like it.
Also, for other users, just copy the compressed, zip file to your N5II. That was not too clear to me from the instructions. Uncompressed to me implies that I should decompress the file; that is not correct.
So far the unit is more stable when browsing files which is a big deal
The unit still does not know how to count....what is mean is that 201 comes before 2 in terms of how it treats file numbers.
I also think the bug where is starts songs about 1/2 second into the beginning was there in my first tests.
Still, it seems quite a bit more stable and that is a nice start.

First, thanks for the tip about leather case several pages ago. It fits perfectly!
I have updated to the new firmware 3.0cn and all seems well. But I didn’t have much problems before. Is it any difference other than play store between cn and en firmware?
I use Tidal and Roon and it works pretty well. However, with Tidal I have no option to save offline files to my SD card. Also have Spotify and there I have the option. Anyone know if it’s possible to save tidal offline to SD card and in that case how?

My Mac mini has an SD card slot, so I put the micro SD in the SD adapter that comes with the card and it reads it without any issues. Don't know about iMac though. I take it your using the stock cable, right?I gotta say, I'm having the hardest time getting my iMac to see the N5ii's internal storage as a USB drive. Nothing I do gets my computer to recognize it, even when the prompt to turn "USB storage" on appears. I can't think of any other way to get the firmware update onto the device itself...

You may try installing a browser (e.g. Firefox) and download the file from there. I recommend using the Google Drive link on Cayin's website as it is significantly faster than downloading the file from Cayin's servers.I gotta say, I'm having the hardest time getting my iMac to see the N5ii's internal storage as a USB drive.
