I recently bought this player from aliexpress and I can say that the android interface is quite fluid, you can install streaming applications, but the sound quality is quite poor without details. I am not satisfied with the sound quality.

What about USB DAC? Z80 does support?

Yes, it supports usb audio. Only this way you can get a quality sound, using an usb dac

Maybe it needs burn-in. I listened to around 3-4 hours of music on this player. Or maybe my player is faulty or my ears

The bluetooth connection it's stable, but I haven't tested for a long time because I don't have very good bluetooth headphones.

Innoasis Android iPod inspired player. TRN MT4 IEM's

I have to report this player glitches with a metallic screech about every half hour of continuous play. Bummer as it would have been a great light weight airport player. I used to use my clip zip when flying. My ancient iPod photo plays the files without problems so it's not he files.

hello friends, any recommendation for a cheap but useful DAP? i like the xduoo x2s form factor, so something similar would be my need. i prefer buttons over a touch screen, if possible. small but usable is my important note. I have the shanling m0 pro but the touch screen doesn't feel like the best option in that kind of form factor. thank you

Hi.

For the FA3 or FA3S, Can any one of you guys tell what are all the options that appear when the divice is "now playing", and the the on/off button is pressed? (repeat shuffle etc).

Thank uou

Interesting. Compared with my F.Audio FA3s it adds, according to AliExpress:
- Bluetooth, 4.4 bal output, low/high gain, support to pcm 32/768 and dsd1024 (I would not use such GB-guzzler formats...) and a mysterious "switch music seamlessly" does it mean gapless play...?

It loses:
- Class A amplification

two ES dac instead of two CS dac
Maybe longer battery life (but FA3s is good already, 20 hours)
It does not have reset pinhole, reset is made by long pressing the power button as I read on AliExpress.
The FA3s has reset pinhole but can be resetted same way, rendering the pinhole useless (I just discovered this!)

I have both FA3 and FA3S. The SQ is similar, FA3 is a little warmer, FA3S has longer battery life, about 20 hours. And is cheaper than FA3. I can't find where to get the latest firmware of FA3S. Anyone knows?

I recently purchased i think what is a AIGO Moonlight M-1601 from Aliexpress for £35 as it was quite cheap, This looks the same as the Phinestic Z6 or Z6 Pro maybe with just different branding? I was wondering if the firmware for Z6 can be used to update the M1601 but i can't find anything online and don't know if it is the Z6 Pro or Z6 that should be used if at all. The main reason I want to update firmware is that the menus on the M-1601 are in both english and chinese so I would just like English as the Z6 has. Also the current firmware does that ordering issue where if you add new folders to SD card it doesn't put it in the alphabetic order but at the bottom of the sd card list. Does anyone have any idea how to update the firmware and what firmware to use for the M-1601. Thing is the box it was sent in has the Phinestic logo on it?

You have to run "FAT Sorter" each time you add some audio files onto your microSD card. This way, everything is sorted alphabetically.

This is a native "Windows" binary but you can run it under "Linux" too using "Wine"...

How did you get USB DAC to work? I've tried with apple dongle, Fiio K5 Pro, Fiio btr5, VE Megatron and more. The audio never gets routed to USB.

I enabled dev options and tried all selections in the list. What parameters are you using that allow for USB DAC function?
