Re

so.. i spent this weekend ripping my old DVDs to flac using Dvd Audio Extractor trying to get the highest sound quality since this material is not available to dl anymore (2003/2002 stuff). Fact's that even copying only to internal memory, it's always gapping like crazy...

1. ripped the AC3 6 channels (dvd highest quality).
2. auto convertion to flac 24 bit/48hz. (+- 50Mb files).
3. copied track by track by hand (call me nuts) to internal memory (since SD is gapping for sure).
4. edited tags using MP3Tag.
5. tested with NORMAL EQ, no JetEffect setup or any additional preset.
6. cover art has 30 Kb max.

anyone experience this with this new firmware?? what the hell am I doing wrong?!

I can't play FLAC much at all, it gets really slow. Though I haven't found much of a gap there yet.

I have not had any trouble playing flac files on my PD either internal or external memory.

Flac works well for me too. I discovered bandcamp for finding fresh stuff too.

My issue is, when I scroll my music section whole playing FLAC, it gets really slow.

Does that happen to anyone else?

ok, guys.. thanks. there must be an older version of Flac encoder driver messing up the filles. thank you!

I don’t suppose anyone has checked to see if it can take a bigger sd card after the firmware update? Would be awesome if it could.

 

[fl4viomc]

I really think it's a hardware limitation, mostly processor, not firmware at all.

No can do, 128gb is the limit, re-encoded all my flac files to 320 mp3's, fills up 128 with some room to spare.

Friendly PSA to all,

PD can support balanced 3.5 mm which I discovered by accident a long while back.
There seems to be a balanced circuit in the head out not listed in official specs.

Hope everyone has a great day !

Which earphones have 3.5 balanced output? I'd like to have one.

Hi @Rekkxar,

Technically all earphones/IEMs & headphones can support 3.5 balanced as long as said head gear has the means to replace the cable.

If you're curious to try, I suggest veclan.com for inexpensive & good cables then decide from there.
Either Junkosha Silver/Orange or their own Black Litz or SPC is good, just depends on personal preference.

I will add, cable rolling does not alter head gear's base sound signature, only 'tunes' it to a certain extent &/or not at all.
It is highly subjective & personal so your experience & mileage may vary.

Hope you have a great day !

I see, so any can be balanced. I do have a balanced cable for me Fiio F5, but it's 2.5.
So it'll work I suppose.

Thanks for the heads up!

@Rekkxar,

Yes, any cable can technically be balanced provided it is soldered correctly in the plug ends of said cable & the head out in question supports the balanced plug otherwise one channel, usually the right, will have no sound.

In this case, PD head out is only for 3.5 mm & will only work if you have balanced female adapter to support either 2.5 mm or 4.4 Pentacon to balanced 3.5 mm male plug.

Hope you have a great day.

Is there any benefit to using 3.5mm balanced?
