DX260MK2 New firmware for the MK2 1.01

[Bengkia369]

im burning in mine. it was bought from classifids here but seller said only has around 20 to 30 hours on it.

That's great! Free burn in for you.
I'm also bought my Ibasso DX300Max Ti used from a seller in China, when I got my unit it's already sounds very good think he must use it quite a lot until he got his DX320Max then he sold it off to me.

Am loving my DX260, definitely a step up from my Fiio M11 plus. Am alternating between my UM Mest MK3 and Dunu SA6 MK2, both are good pairings with the DX260

I was just wondering - is there a way to control the DX260 music playback remotely, from my Android phone? I'm sure someone mentioned this somewhere back in this thread and I thought, at the time, that I wouldn't need to do that! Now I have a particular use case where it'd come in handy occasionally...many thanks

I think that is possible by installing the Bubble upnp application on both devices.

and you can use Hiby app

Many thanks for your replies, I was hoping there was a way to do it without changing the music player app though, using a bluetooth connection. What about in-line remotes, does it support those?

not sure this helps with your use case - but it works. there are also low cost knock-off alternatives on some far eastern portals...

Thanks for that, ideally though I just wanted to play, pause and adjust volume from my phone

 

[rosci]

yup, thought so

 

[nekromantik]

dont think any dap has that feature as they all tied into the app. Like Shanling players must use Shanling app, Fiio same etc.

Hiby has something called HibyCast that does that. I don't think it works with other DAPs though... There's also Hiby Link but it only works with Hiby Player app.

Also you can use UPnP to cast from your phone to the DAP using apps like BubbleUPnP, mConnect, UAPP, etc.

There's always TeamViewer as well although I haven't tried on Android...

All are probably overkill for what you want.

I tried to install the Hiby cast on my Sony WM1ZM2, it don’t work. It will only work for Hiby DAPs.

I really stunned with the sound quality of DX260 the more I listen, the better it gets!
Especially for this song and UM Mest MK1 gives me the goosebumps!

My Jutem custom leather case for my DX260 just arrived today! Love the quality top notch workmanship!

Does it interfere with swiping down from the top or with scrolling/selecting on the sides?

This is a music player not a phone. Not great? It works, I have not seen any issues with it and it is newer than many players. I listen to music not Android.

Well, maybe not an issue for the dx260, but Android updates make sure that apps like Roon and Amazon Music work, as well as providing security fixes, device fixes (e.g. the DX240 5gHz wifi is basically just useless), etc. I get that it doesn't benefit you, but more thought and less snarkiness is often valuable.
