Ouch...kind of Will Smith's slap

The man is an inspiration. That Oscar’s outburst was a brilliant “I don’t care where we are… do not cross lines you should stay way behind, or there will be consequences“ He’s gone from man, why are you making really bad movies? to my absolute hero!

GI Jane 2 was the best joke of the night though.

Consequences if it's a man a third of his size... I'm sure if it was the rock or a bigger man will would think twice.

I was being sarcastic. WS is and always will be a narcissistic A-hole.
Chris restrain was admirable, I would of gone medieval on WS with both barrels!

David could not hear the M17 amps powering up and then powering off after 27 seconds of iddling. I wouldn’t trust him to hear a child on a pogo stick right beside him, much less the minute differences (if any) an iFi PU would make.
Sadly, there’s a lot of mythology going on in the audiophile community about power units and cables with amazing magical game changing powers. But, like yours, my experience when testing those claims has been one of disappointment… You’ll sooner find an unicorn!

Why not be consistent and connect your headphones directly to your mobile phone - it's just a myth that you can hear the difference between hifi devices if they are not defective ...You’ll sooner find an unicorn ones and zeros is the same bla bla!

I would if I could alas, my Sennheiser 820’s jacks don’t fiit into the USB-C of my Samsung. Now, I have always said that while using the same device, it is the headphones that makes the biggest difference. I have tried PU‘s cables and all the fauna out there sadly, I found no difference whatsoever. But oh boy, when I changed the original pads of my HD820”s to Dekoni’s ones, the difference was obvious right out of the bat.
IMHO cables PU’s and other magical stuff is nothing more than snake oil.
Change the headphone or, the distance between your eardrums and the headphone membrane, and things do change for sure.

There is no need for magic if talking about different PSUs, which was the topic.

Ok so, here’s the thing.
Most metals are very good at transmitting electric signals.
Copper, silver and specially Gold are very good indeed.
Copper and Silver need an oxygen free environment to perform at their best. So, Gold is best In the sense that it does not tarnish or corrode when exposed to oxygen thus, keeping connections clean.
But, the impact in transmission quality that a little tarnishing has on Hi-Fi cables is inaudible and, only measurable with highly sensitive equipment so, the only time upgrading cables makes a difference is when testing highly sensitive equipment (which your eardrums aren’t).
With tarnishing and insulation hardening, depending on the environment, I would recommend changing cables every 5-10 years. But that’s about it.
Also, If you have an interference problem, upgrading to cables and/or power units with better shielding will help but, that’s not improving sound quality, it’s removing interference form the circuitry.
As for cable thicknesses, it plays a part in that the more wattage/voltage and distance you want to send signals through, the greater girth you need.

In my experience and for home Hi-FI installations, “upgrading” cables and/or PU’s from those provided by the manufacturer, makes no discerning difference whatever.
I have to listen to my music with my ears and so, I do not invest in something for which I can’t hear an improvement. You mileage may vary.

Now, we have stabilised our opinions on the matter, there’s no more discussion to be had, lets go back to the M17 thread topic please.

I'm sorry...didn't know PUs was such a hot subject

M17 is a of a DAPs, that device is staying in my inventory for good.

Regarding cables, I did invest in them, 500/600 EUR, if nothing in sound difference there is that "brain" satisfaction while listening to that glorious DAP everything is just perfection.

The button of our player is strictly based on Android definition. However, third-party APP would make its own definition while using system buttons. So the button definition of system itself and third-party APP might be conflicted. We couldn't change the button definition of third party APP. Therefore, the play/pause or previous/next track button might not able to work perfectly when using third-party APP (These APPs might work fine on cellphones cause most of the cellphones only have volume button for adjustment and no next/previous track button).

Best regards

Thanks for the quick answer....but my Sony BT headphones with touch buttons are working great with 3rd party apps
It's the same - the app works with focus on it.....I always using DAP player the 3rd party apps in foreground and all apps are working fine with my sony BT headphones. There was never a problem, because there is a standard API for BT audio control section for example.....

Any recommendations for micro sd cards? 512gb and above?

Firmware notes:

• The auto screen rotate is finally fixed with locked screen. Now everything auto rotates!
• The battery charging disable feature definitely works. In DC mode, battery doesn't charge even when it is below my charge limit of 80%.
• PowerAmp system wide EQ still works!
• Apple Music downloaded music would not play properly - skipping and static. After full reboot plays back correctly.

Nice update overall!

... hmpf ....

... Trolling around ... ?


if not, feel free to start with the following entry:

Feel free to try Micron MicroSD 1TB. It is available from Mouser. It is the best one I have found so far

sandisk extreme pro - 170mb version (current one). highly recommended in many forums.
