Hi Max Owners,
Just curious questions below:

1) is SPDF Out to a separate DAC or something else?

2) Is LINE OUT to Amp only, meaning Max use as Digital transport => Digital Amp with 4.4mm Input?
Can LO use 4.4mm convert to RCA to Tube Amp?

Anyone here familiar with the setup? Thank you in advance.

Hi there, I received the MAX today and initial impression were very good, reset to factory settings, installed latest update, installed Tidal APK, started testing some songs.... I do like the SQ!

But, in 5 songs played second time Tidal playback stopped with the error "There was a connection problem"
I did not have connectivity issues with my other devices.
I do have a mesh WiFi

Are there known issues with the MAX? With tidal? Or is it possibly a defective unit regarding WiFI Antena?

Thank you and cheers,
Tomi

This is a Tidal issue. It only wants to run mqa files for some weird reason.

Streaming via Hiby Music app or UAPP app bypasses this Tidal problem. I personally like Hiby Music app more between the two.

Hi there, so that is a known issue with specifically Tidal? If you say "It only wants to run mqa files for some weird reason.", would that not mean it does not play the songs at all? I had the issue it played some songs, and then lost connection.
If qobuz runs smoothly with no connectivity problems on the 220MAX, I have no issues switching the streaming service...
Thank you and cheers,

Hi,
I have no disconnection error or problem using Quobuz with my D220MAX at home.

I would try a different channel on the router. There are many variables including the software of the app being used.

Yeah, this isn't a 220max disconnection issue. It is the official Tidal app just being sucky. Switching to Qobuz should work (Or streaming Tidal from a 3rd party app).

I am by now using it with no problem - except one: I rarely use the MAX
Am not sure yet, but I might be selling it again if I wont find more use and appreciation soon

 

[behemothkat]

Now Tidal apk stopped to play all the files, FLAC as well as MQA
Is it only my experience?

The battery I have is bulging, pushing up the back glass and pushing down the SD slot.

I would also like to get the biggest possible since it is draining too quickly for me. If it is at all possible.

Where can I buy one to replace?

Probably from himself ? I wonder what makes it bulge up

I suppose it is aging and heating. Like sometimes lipo expands after long usage maybe. General degredation is what I am thinking.
