Good luck to u for ibasso lol
I agree with the balanced output performance from this player, the only reason I'm still using it. I hate to say it though, the A&K Ak Jr's sound still superior to this one, it offers more layers, depth, and breathtaking wide sound stage. The music from that player is far more engaging, but with the right gear the DP-S1 closes up a lot, and the sound produced is more analytic. The DX90 trumps both, especially with the latest working Rockbox port. I just got tired swapping the battery out from the later every two hours...Anyway, the DP-S1 could be a very potent player, and possibly the best, if they would be willing to fix the problems that plague this device, it shouldn't be that hard!!! Instead, it seems they making it worse with every new firmware release, or at least they ignore the issues that leave many of us frustrated! I'm not sure if this is done on purpose, to force the early adopters to upgrade, well that strategy could backfire, because many of us who gets sick and tired, will trash this thing and look elsewhere. I just hope the God I'll remember to remove the sd-card from it before I'll swing it, won't be long before I will try on this thing how far I can throw...
The DP-S1, I don't own the X1, and based on this experience, I never will either... I checked the settings in Power Management, and the Auto Power Off was set to 30 minutes. It worked before this latest firmware downgrade, and I was always able to use the player with an external power source, if the battery was too low, well, not anymore, thank to this new firmware! Now I have to make sure I power it down, and unplug the headphones, if I want to be able to use it a few hours later. They suck, whoever is involved with their firmware development...
When you take your cover off there it is reminding you before throw it at something. I usually make a tape like that with my contact info in case I lose it and I'm lucky enough that whoever finds it is honest and contacts me. I've had my Pioneer 30r for about 2 months and I like it a lot. My only con so far is that it hasn't been able to find firmware updates wirelessly. I have to go to Pioneer's site, download the update, put it on my SD card and do it that way. Other than that it surpassed my expectations.
I don't see this problem. I just tried the 30 minute setting and it worked fine, although I normally use the 10 minute setting. I can think of a couple of possible causes for what you are seeing... Since one or two others have seen some options not working correctly after an update, I would recommend trying a factory reset (removing SD cards first). This might clear the internal storage, so be prepared for that. It's perfectly possible that the software might not have migrated all settings correctly from the previous version and in a way which then prevents them working (not ideal, but it can happen). A factory reset should take care of that. the other possibility is that you have a hardware fault which is preventing a proper shutdown, but I would think that less likely.
I tried again to see if I can reproduce the problem, and this time it powered down on a dime, but it functioned as audio component from the 3.5 mm headphone jack "line out", as opposed to the last time, when I used the balanced port with headphones. I guess I have to wait and see. What really angers me is the stupid game they playing, like the first update eliminated the USB support and one of the streaming services (I think I did see Tidal when I first started using the Rubato, but I'm not sure). They would include a bluetooth smartphone app, to be able to control the player with a smartphone, but it only works partially, and takes forever for them to connect. What good does that to anybody?! Sales gimmick obviously. While the disabled USB support and the limited online streaming was not a dealbreaker for me (I don't use any one of those), I found it stupid to see a product downgraded. My only positive observation after this latest firmware is the increased data transfer, now it can transfer an album as fast as the Ak Jr. The sync function is lightning fast, but that was already addressed before this latest firmware. I'd rather support though a company that's working towards improving their products, not downgrading it...
Thanks for your input, I agree with most of your remarks, and I'm also envious about your luck with the bluetooth remote, lol. I'm using the galaxy s7, not sure where the problem lays, but I don't see that I would be able to adjust anything on either end. When I start the DAP control app, it takes several minutes for it to connect, including times when the phone reawakened. I see an option "library" on the upper left corner, but it is inactive. The app is able to show the player's battery life though, I'm not sure what else they would have to develop, in order to be able to access the library on the phone through the app, shouldn't be too difficult. Besides the AK Jr and iPods, this is the only dedicated DAP I dealt with, without removable battery. The AK Jr came alive as soon as I connected it to a power source, right out of the box with battery drained. I drained the Rubato's battery a few times in the past, and I was always able to get it going with external battery. I often left the headphones plugged in without powering the player down, though most of the time the album I listened finished, or I just pressed the stop button when I didn't finish listening all the way. Who knows, maybe this was a random event, I'll have to see if happens again. (I use the player exclusively from the balanced port, the 3.5mm only serves as line out to a stereo, or in the car's audio).
