24bit 48KHz FLAC files are still listed as "16bit" on the HM-801 with the 0.19b firmware.  They playback fine at least.

That's funny because i have firmware 0.19 and my 24bit 48khz Flac files are listed as 24 bit.   ??

I don't know wether this is hardware or software related, but I experienced an issue where the player pauses replay while I put it into my pockets. The keyboard was locked of course.

Also when I scroll fast through my artist lists I sometimes get thrown back to the startup menu.

I have only encountered the 24-bit tracks being displayed as 16-bit with my 24/96 ripped tracks off of my DVD-As.  Songbird had confirmed them being 24/96, but on the HM-801 they show up as 16-bit.
 
The biggest single issue for me is still the inability to refresh the SDHC card content without physically ejecting and reinserting the card after every power-up.  Did anyone else experience that, or is it just my unit?

Have you tried "Update Media File" at the very bottom in main menu? (firmware 0.19)

 

[warp08]

Yes, the function seems to execute but in the end, trying to search the SD Card content will still result in the message:  "No File."

Can't help you. Definitely works for me. Perhaps flashing with lower firmware and back to 0.19 would help.

What's the problem exactly?
 
Have you tried a different card or the internal memory?

Hi headfiers,

Internal memory works fine.
 
The issue is that the player seems to lose the directory tree cache from the SDHC card if you power down the unit and the only way it can be made to successfully rescan the card is to physically eject it from the socket and reinsert it.  "Update Flash" can be triggered manually, but it is ineffective without the eject/reinsert.
 
I will try a different memory card.  Is there a specific requirement to be formatted?  I use a MacBook Pro, but it's still FAT.

Cool, thanks.  I have to figure it out then.  Maybe it's the card, I don't know yet.  It's a Class 4 16GB Patriot.  Seems to work fine in every other way, except this particular issue.  Weird.  Will test it with another card.

Just bought a hifiman from a member who bought it new in may in downloaded the headfi sampler from hdtracks 24/96 it sounds awesome but it seems to randomly lock up sometimes the track will start skipping and then you can't pause it or stop the song or advance it's just locked the only way to fix it is to eject the card which is a pny optima 16 gb is this a normal issue it came with .15 firmware and I just upgraded to .19 but it didn't fix the problem it seems to work if you don't try and pause or advance but I can't replicate it every time. Also how can I buy the 2 year warranty.

I'll be darned, it was the stupid card.  Tested it with a newly formatted 4GB SanDisk and worked the way it was supposed to work.  I have now reformatted the old 16GB card and reloading the content, hoping it'll still after that.  Thanks for the suggestions.

Update on my previous issue: I now have found a way to repeat my issue with the player pausing, while I put it into my pocket even though they keyboard lock is on. It actually happens when the 5 buttons next to the main screen are pushed in fast succession. I now start to wonder whether this actually is a hardware issue rather then a software one? Does anyone experience this problem as well?

 

[dallan]

It has on occasion paused on me when the lock is on but very rare.
 
Edit- It just happened......July 21.

A question for the developers;
Which of these formats may be supported in future builds?

1. .mpc
2. .ac3
3. .dts
4. tracker formats (.mid, .it, .s3m, .xm, .mod)
