Thanks for such a quick reply, I know you guys are on it.

We would be on it with full force, if we could fix it somehow ourselves(as we can with upcoming M0), but here we can just ask HiBy to make it as soon as possible.

Is there anything in the works to provide adjustable wheel scroll speed in the software? I mean increasing or decreasing scrolling speed in software for the same X degrees physically rotated. At least a "slow" and "normal" speed modes would be appreciated, if nothing more detailed in between like an adjustment scale. My wheel is so touchy, it's difficult to stop exactly at the right menu option every time unless I turn it super carefully and slowly (which is difficult on the go).

Some album arts are not displaying. I have lots of albums with embedded album art + another folder.jpg file in each album folders, but still they're not displaying in the Now Playing screen. Is it that they are 1400x1400 resolution (is there a limit)? Is it that I'm in FW1.2? Please help. Thanks

Please check if they are progressive jpg, you can test it here: https://codepen.io/sergejmueller/full/GJKwv

Will test it later, but I admit I'm not familiar with progressive jpg's. Is progressive jpg required for it to be displayed in M3S? :)

Edit: Checked the files, and they are all progressive jpg's

Edit 2: I got it working by resizing the album arts to 800x800. Maybe there's a limit in the pixel resolution of images to be displayable (1400x1400 doesn't work)

Yeah, with progressive JPG's there are some problems. Sometimes changing resolution helps, sometimes I recommend to go and download cover from different webpage.

Through try and error I've got this rule of thumb. I never go above 1000x1000 on images for my art work.

Anyway on the M3s dipslay, there is little to gain using large images. I usually go for 600x600 upto 1000x1000.
Even on my phone's display (5.5'' ; 14cm) with Hiby link, those image resolutions are perfect.

Got a few exceptions. Have some albums with 2500x2500 and 2.8MB file that work ok. Go figure.

I’m going to be getting an M3s soon and I was wondering whet type of cable I would need to use it as a digital transport connected to the Dac in my main system,I would only be doing this occasionally so don’t want to spend a fortune on it,after a quick search the only cables I could find are for printers( usb-c to usb type b) would these work?
The Shanling L2 Cable wouldn’t be any good because my Dac has no micro usb input and I think I read in one of the reviews that the Cayin usb-c to coaxial Cable won’t work on Shanling devices.

I've got this https://www.jdslabs.com/products/164/usb-cable-type-c-to-mini-b-otg/ check what other types of connection they have though

Thanks for that, just checked on their website they don’t appear to do anything type-c to type b or offer any custom options.

A USB2.0-rated cable should work. I picked up a Belkin USB2.0 "Type-A to Type-C" off ebay after I heard clicks in my cheapo charging cable when trying to use it with a DAP as a transport. They may have "Type-B to Type-C" available. Try to keep it under 2m.

I did find a belkin on amazon,not sure how long it was though,I’ll try one once I have my M3s and I’ll post the result.

Most of time I just use USB-C OTG adapter and standard cable I would use with DAC normally.
