I burned in the T01 module (second module) some more and well I still prefer the Stock module A01 ? Stock is much more open , detailed and alive.

How does the T01 compare to the your original N6 and Plenue S all using the same PCM1792A DAC(s)
T01 sounds a little warmer , has detailed but warmer. On certain recordings its very good , but on others a tad warm. The S well its not as warm as in the N6II and T01. Maybe with neutral headphones the T01 would sound better.

@Andykong Hello, I have problems with the player, when you increase or decrease the volume of the volume button I stop playing music,reset to factory settings did not help.If you raise the volume one notch the music stops playing, once again raise the volume one notch the music starts playing again.Two months used a player that was not,volume button worked fine.What could be the reason?
Increase or decrease the volume - the music stops. Sometimes instead of stopping the tracks switch.

@jmills8 - thanks for letting us know about the T01 some more - appreciated. With what I have already and the stock still seemingly sounding better, I will just wait for what comes next.... Cheers :beerchug:

Yeap, OTA is the way to go with N6ii firmware update. We are using progressive update when you go for OTA option, so only a small portion of firmware code will be replaced - in order to shorten the download time. If you were to perform manual update, you have to download the complete firmware package and that is around 800MB. If you still prefer to do this, please use Google Drive download option (HERE) because you get faster short term bandwidth during download.
