I just rebooted it and it went fine.

I just went back to my IT guy and the SD card had 662gb free on it. I just deleted a large flac folder, retried, and same issue is occurring

I will try a different SD card, reformat, all that fun stuff, once I get home and hope to the Lotoo gods that it comes back to life.

Hi @qua2k ,
I already had exactly this problem. It’s related to the sd-card and the fact that LPGT Ti is really sensitive to any fault in the data simply speaking.

You only need to perform a deep formatting of the sd-card and the problem should be solved.

Correct, it is related to SD card, and even Lotoo addressed it in their FAQ questions, Q3: http://lotoo.cn/english/bottom/Service/FAQ/ talking about the debug screen. They recommend a specific format tool in that link, it's due to corrupt sectors on SD card.

Thank you both for this and @Amadeo Nospherathu for the side chat

I will run the tool and retry the SD card, should be good. For the moment, the player does work without an SD card inserted, so I do have music via USB today, so not all the way bricked

A reluctant sale but decided to part with my LPGT Ti if anyone in Europe interested. I’m focusing on an upgrade of mu 2-channel system next!

 

[jcdreamer]

I hope you do not end up regretting selling it. I could never part with mine.

 

[ToddRaymond]

I regret having sold mine.

I really didn't have a choice – outside of getting a second job (which wasn't feasible whilst taking care of my sick-but-since-recovered amazing wife) – but I still am kinda bummed that I parted with it.

 

[jcdreamer]

I'm so glad to hear that your wife has recovered. I almost bought your TI, that's why I know about your plight. I'm happy for you.

 

[ToddRaymond]

Of course, of course! Tired brain didn't make the connection. I truly appreciate your kind words then and now! I hope you and yours have been well also!

When more funds become available, I would definitely consider the Mjolnir. But, considering it's more than 3K more than the LPGT Ti, with only slightly better sound, I think I might be better off getting a bulkier-but-better value desktop setup, like an JCAT XE + Audio-gd DI-24HE + R-27 RE for like 3K less. ...

 

[jcdreamer]

Once I acquired a LPGT Ti I felt that I can stop looking. I'm completely happy with my portable setup. I have since upgraded my desktop components. I can honestly say that my portable rig rivals my chunky desktop setup. That's why I'm confident that I'll never part with the LPGT Ti.

I'd say improvements are noticeable imo, especially in headroom and control. But yeah with increased size and MSRP, Mjolnir sounds less lucrative. That said, if one is only into iems, the Mjolnir is no slouch.

 

[ToddRaymond]

@nocturne19 Can you please comment more on the sonic differences you perceive between the LPGT (I guess your sig shows it's the non-Ti version) and the Mjolnir?

I suppose later on I could add an external amp like the Brise Tsuranagi or something from MASS-Kobo to bring out the best of the Mjolinir. But that's a lot of dough.

I'm curious what Lotoo are working on as far as their next portable DAP.

I guess my dilemma is: Just get a bulky, dedicated desktop setup, and later something more portable (like the next Lotoo DAP); or, get a Mjolnir as the flexible centrepiece for at home and on the go, yadda.

You can't use an external clock with the Mjolnir, but meanwhile, playing files directly off of the 'Ti' sounded pretty amazing, and I didn't exactly miss listening through SU-6 to my Audio-gd R-28. (I realize the SU-6 is a DDC and not a clock; just trying to cover a lot of ground without getting too long-winded).

I have heard LPGT, LPGT Ti and Mjolnir. In fact I chose LPGT because of price and portability. But sound-wise Mjolnir is on another level. Probably I would say Mjolnir >> LPGT Ti > LPGT. LPGT occupies a neutral signature, while LPGT Ti has more energy in upper-mids and sounds more dynamic. The Mjolnir is somewhere between the two: It sounds like a softer LPGT Ti but with improved resolution, dynamics and staging. Despite being 2-3 times the size of LPGT (Ti), it does sound good.

I doubt if an external amp is required though. Compared to other DAPs, I actually think Mjolnir has excellent control. But yeah a dedicated amp may further let it shine.

I believe the Mjolnir is one of the top options for iems in the market, but I am uncertain whether it can really drive cans - it doesn't provide much power, probably less than L&P flagships.

I have LPGT TI and I love it.
I brought my Traillii to Munich last year and listened well Mjiolnir
with my Traillii.

He has sound similar to LPGT TI,but every parameter is little better.Then I bought Tsuranagi for LPGT TI and I am very excited, a big step over the single LPGT TI and I am very happy.

I don't know if LPGT TI + Tsuaranagi has similar quality than the single Mjiolnir because listened in last may, but I think is a definitive choice for me

 

[ToddRaymond]

Thank you for sharing all of that, @nocturne19! Super helpful!

And thanks for relaying that as well, @gianni60. Happy you have found what sounds like a great deal of sonic bliss.
