Thanks for the suggestion. It didn’t work. But your suggestion made me think in similar way.
I tryed to download the files directly to Windows computer and now everything works.
So, the problem was, that in first step I downloaded the files to my Macbook computer and then move files via pendrive to Windows computer. When I downloaded directly to Windows computer, everything is fine.
Thanks for feedback.

What's the light color code for the USB DAC operation in the UP2. I get light blue that starts as a white light using Tidal Hi-Fi. Another thing after the update to latest firmware, the driver shows UP4 as the output device on my Windows 10 machine when used as USB DAC

If used as purely USB DAC (so with no Bluetooth source connected), it should be purple.

But it doesn't really matter which color is it, , as LED in USB DAC mode have no other meaning apart form showing it works.

After few weeks of using UP4 via balanced output my right side of BLON BL3 died, I didn't pay much attention and kept using UP4 with my earsonics em10 and the same happened, right side started to play more quietly and got distorted. Fixing this will cost me now hundreds of euros and I was updated that transducers on the right side of ciem must be replaced. Is it coincidence or most likely defective unit ? I'm scared to use UP4 now...

@hakunamakaka

So sorry to hear you are dealing with driver failures on your earphones.

We got no reports of such issue on any of our current products, but will definitely take a look at your UP4, to make sure what could be cause of this.

I will send you private message to discuss this further.

I would die for an USB transmitter with LDAC, AptX HD/LL and AAC, which detects as a sound card on my computer.
Much like the Avantree DG60 I use today, but with LDAC/AAC and at least 24bit / 96khz. (my DG60 is 16bit/48khz, but I've read there are 24bit / 48khz versions out there?)

The Shanling Q1 can transmit LDAC when attached via USB.

We have no plans to make such dedicated device. But our current players M0 and Q1 can be used as sort of USB Bluetooth transmitter offering LDAC/Aptx/AAC.

And for Bluetooth transmitter,support of 24/96 depends on the codec. Right now only LDAC/LHDC can do 24/96.

Thanks for your answer.
Has M0 or Q1 BT5.0? What about the transmitting range on these?

Are there any players out there with these BT transmitting options, and also with Tidal support??

No Bluetooth 5.0 on our MTouch players.

M2X and M5s have support of USB BT transmitter and our system Tidal support.

Gave the new firmware a try, but unfortunately the volume limitation issue still exists. I can not achieve a loud enough volume when connecting my UP2 to my computer via USB Bluetooth dongle. This was not an issue with firmware v1.5. Please, do something to raise the maximum amplication/volume level in your next firmware release.

Hello,

I see the same volume limitation here, when UP2 is paired with Ubuntu 20.04 and pulseaudio bluetooth module installed from https://github.com/EHfive/pulseaudio-modules-bt.
Note that (in my case, at least) the volume problem occurs when aptX-HD is selected. With AAC or aptX, volume goes normally loud.

Please @Shanling, look into this (Ubuntu is easy to install).

You either need to use the OTA update in app, but that is only compatible with later runs of UP4.
Update with computer is only available for Windows.

Yep, basically same setup here. I'm using Kubuntu 20.04 and LDAC via pulseaudio-modules-bt. It'd be nice to have a fix for this.

dfu-util will work on OS X. Search the forum. There are a few guides for installing firmware on Fiio. Works the same
