I notice the unit is noisier on the latest update. Gonna revert back to the older firmware with the screen glitch... I also notice loading times is longer with 64 GB cards as well as the SD card reader emitting louder noise. Aya.

any new updates for Nova N3.
my firmware dated March 18 2013

 

[tkteo]

No as of today....

 

[jaganeee]

my N3 firmware is dated March 18, 2013
SQ wise i am impressed.
but apart from SQ my ear gets strained little bit.
my normal listening volume is 10 - 15
i won't get any such problem with Ipod touch.
anyone is having such problem.
is it normal ? if not what will be the cause ?

I agree the N3 sounds very very good, just far too quiet. It is only just about loud enough to drive DT1350 or ES7 when using Woodoo EQ and that is on 28+ / 31
 
I should not have to use any eq to make it loud enough, nb compared to many here I am no headbanger.
 
On user EQ is sound fabulous just needs another firmware to boost the volume, well mastered CDs like MFSL and DCC that keep the 
dynamic range of the recording are not worth playing at all. I would say it is quieter than my Iphone 5 and that is weedy, and my sons Clip+s are much much louder
 
Potentially the N3 is a real giant killer, I have long revue, but won't post it until it is loud enough to use
in everyday circumstances.

Anyone have a problem with n1 randomly turning off after a loud pop? My version is V1.01. Besides that N1 sounds great except the volume is still too loud so I constantly change between user, hifi, and hisoundV1.0 for better control of volume...

@KT66
+1
I think I can live with the lacking flac tag support, the battery drain when off, the chopped off first second as the sound is so clear and delightning.
But the volume is an serious issue.
The N3 isn't able to trigger the the auto power on of my headstage arrow 12g 4 when listening to Beethoven's 9th symphony third set "Adagio molto e cantabile".
The headstage even shuts down after approximately three minutes.
Haven't heard of an firmware upgrade for quite a long time.

Does anyone know how FLAC files are ordered in the Folder view? It currently lists tracks in mostly backwards order (18, 17, 16, 12, 11,...). I've tried changing file access times, but the order still seems random. Otherwise, the sound quality is excellent.

Most of the Audiophile grade player has some kinds of issues related with them apart from Excellent SQ for their price tag.
Nova N3 is not an exemption in that. Most of the issues in Nova N3 can be solved by proper software update.
 
Waiting for the next software update expecting to address the issues like
 
Low Volume
Folder Alphabet Wise Sorting
Missing First Beat in FLAC Files
Proper working of EQ Screen

Yes, it's very strange.... I think it orders the files by the time they were copied on the player.... I noticed something strange: when you mark several files from an album, always start the marking with the the last file and move the mouse towards the first song. This ensures that the first song is copied first. I hope you understand what I mean... English is not my native language... When you mark the songs from the first to the last, the last or some random song is oftenly copied first. I'm using Win 7. If you copy entire folders, the order of the songs should be correct, too.

add 
"RECORE FILE" correction
missing the first beat of FLAC files
Drop the silly EQs like Pop, Jazz etc

Try putting 01, 02 etc in front of the title. Many rippers can be told to tag that way. The FLAC bug is better but may be at the limit of what can be done without a do over at the source code.
