there's a firmware update available for the Element S through the remote app (that's working once again).
+ 1Matrix a peut-être résolu le problème de plantage avec l'application distante MA. J'ai réinstallé l'application via Google Play Store ce matin et elle est stable et fonctionne sans crash. Je croise les doigts.
I just placed as order from Apos for the Matrix Audio Streamer S.
I'll update the thread with my impressions. I'm not a Roon user, Tidal Connect serves me fine. All the different digital outs including i2S, which I'll feed my Denafrips Ares 12 Anniversary was the deciding factor for me over the competition. Fingers crossed it works out.
What DAC and connection type are you using?I've only had mine for 24 hours, but i can already tell it's better than the Pi based Volumio streamer and Everdolo DMP-A6 i previously had. For me it seams to be the best streamer in it's price range. There doesn't seem to be many purely streamers out there, most seem to come with DACS and or amplifiers.
Setup was a a breeze, just turnded it on with a wired ethernet connection started the app, it found is straight away and i was up and running. There is a slight delay upon the very first boot up as it scans your music collection on the external SSD.
Qobuz works a treat as does airplay.
I presume it's roon ready as it's on the app and mine came with a 60 day free trial. (Not gonna try it, as the idea for paying to access your music seems dumb, when you have a functional app, but each to their own).
The only thing that seems flakey is the radio section, but i've not listed to the radio for at least 20 years, so no great loss to me.
I'm using a USB connection to a Chord M Scaler then into a Chord Qutest. (Saving my pennies for 2nd hand Chord Dave)What DAC and connection type are you using?
Yes, I had the same problem.OK, i've found an issue.
This is the same if the music is on an external SSD or a network drive.
I have ripped all my cd's and have them all organised into Artist folders, then cd title folders.
An example of the issue. I select a folder that has 4 tracks, however it will not play all the tracks in the folder i selected. if the tracks are also included in another album folder, it will play that other one instead. I have one song where there are 5 different versions over multiple albums, but for each of them it will only play one version of that track. I can look at the file info and even tells you its pointing tot the wrong file !!
This is happening with every track, which has 2 or more versions of that track.
As far as I can tell, it looks like the initial scan starts from the bottom of the directory tree and works it's way to the top and uses the songs meta data to play tracks, rather than file names.
This is really annoying and makes me want to throw the damm thing out the wndow.
Feck.Yes, I had the same problem.
For example if the same track name exists on a Sudio album and Live album
I tag it like this:
Studio. > song name.flac
Live > song name - Live.flac
I do the same principle if it's the same track name but from 2 different artists,
so the problem is solved
Shanling players have the same problem
I have had mine for a couple of days brand new, on the latest firmware, and I find exactly the same thing happens to me. I am also considering a return, I expect flawless playback from a device so expensive and despite otherwise really liking it, this is a pretty big deal.The sound upgrade seem minor, but I thought it removed a glare from certain songs. The reason for the return is that with the latest firmware, now the opening of the first song often plays garbled. I switched back to my old streamer and it doesn't reproduce the problem. It doesn't happen 100% of the time, but it's happens enough and it's one of those bugs I find unacceptable. This has never happened once in more than a year with my previous streamer.
