Can anyone confirm if this amp can accept a signal from an Android phone running version 6.0 (Marshmallow)?

Thanks in advance.

Not the HAP-S1.
 
If you wanna use usb you'll need the MAP-S1 or UDA-1

Sorry, I meant to clarify I'm indeed referring to the UDA-1.

Thanks!

I am selling a UDA-1 that I have had laying around for a while now. I ended up getting a Audio-gd Master 11 a while back so the UDA-1 is not being used at the moment . Great little amp/DAC solution for headphones AND speakers that has served me really well. PM if you are interested in it.

1. Name: Firmware update v17384R for HAP-S1 / HAP-Z1ES
2. Date released: 16-06-2016

 
So -am I the only person who is finding problems with this new firmware?
 
The most obvious issue is that now my HAP-S1 will randomly repeat songs. Sometimes it's the first, or second or third song in an album etc. Just repeats it one time and then continues. But - this happens with every single album that I play. Tried 24/192 - DSD - and various FLAC albums all have the same issue.
 
Other problem is that if I go by artist - and then list the songs in an album - if I scroll quickly the scroll will wrap around right up to the top of the song list again - instead at stopping at the bottom of the song list - which it does if I scroll slower.
 
This is all being controlled from the unit itself.

My HAP-1ZSE is going to repair after this firmware,coincidence? because I have a nice line across the front display.

​
I've got about 4 lines across my display screen constantly. ( HAP-S1 ) It's been like it for quite sometime now, certainly within a year of purchase. I was going to return the player at the time, but didn't want the hassle.
Everything plays & transfers ok though....but really annoying to look at the display.

I m anal so I couldn't live with it, but at 2K cost, I don't want to have to stare at those lines.
At the retail shop I have one HAP-S1 with 3 lines across the unit and it happened right after and during a firmware update.

With this new firmware - Sony included the built in option of rolling the firmware back to the previous firmware - did you try that before sending it back?

 

[Dionysus]

no... bu once that line rears its ugly head its the display that for whatever reason needs to be replaced which is what I was told by the ES-tech line.
How do you roll back the firmware? I m suppose to send it tomorrow, but Ill try it first if it works great.

Read this post I made - the information is in there from Sony...
 
Near the bottom - enter 'special mode' and it should be in there somewhere it sounds like....
 
I haven't personally tried it...
