Thanks, I'm living with it.

Why isn't my folder hierarchy suitable, you don't support tags, how am I supposed to organise my music, I think the Shozy team wants everybody to be happy carrying around 400 x 1GB SD cards?

I think some honesty from Shozy on the file/folder limitations of this OS would be good, what are the maximums of files and folders, I want to put 400 WAV albums on here, so approx 4000 songs, is this going to work?

why don't you just put them under
artist> album> song.wav?

The limitations are briefly what you put there

If anyone has this and a Cayin N6 I'd love a comparison on bass capability.

Is new firmware available that fixes the crashes, it freezes, power button doesn't work, reset does?

Also the bug that you see when playing an album with x tracks, after track x, it starts playing track x+1 on another album, so album a with 12 tracks finishes it starts playing album b track 13?

Thanks.

Just to offer a balancing view to anyone new looking on here, these bugs seem to be isolated to one or a few people only. Possibly a bad unit or bad batch?
I've never experienced any of these; my Alien+ works just fine and sounds amazing, others on here have said the same

To be fair I too have this issue. Though it happens not always. July firmware installed.
It may be "cured" by removing digits from track names.

Sometimes I have a next track starting to play when I press Back button =/

The sound of A+ is good, but UI needs a lot of work to do. No problems with file support after July firmware, though. A solid step up.

BTW A+ is more than enough to rock Fostex's 50RP, which is decent for such a small gadget.

Probably the best voiced device I have heard besides Calyx-M and maybe better on some stuff.

It's a shame that is is a pain in the ass. My unit is a lemon. even with latest FW it stops after 5 seconds on .flac files

Still love the sound

Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone

Anyone located in the U.S. interested in lending me their A+ for a quick test?? I have a few pieces of gear that are hard to come by or have little info about. Maybe a temporary trade for a couple days? Check my feedback and PM me!

 

[Bellyworshipper]

Any news on the FW operation/improvement? Or new sound impressions from old Shozy adherents or newly-converted ones? Guys, does anyone can say if the Shozy Alien+ delivers a more emotional/engaging listening experience (and more forgiving) than FiiO X7II with rock/metal records (which are notorious for their low quality and high compression)?

 

[gazzington]

What is this like in comparison to hidiz ap200 or fiio x7ii or even opus 1? Just talking sound quality rather than android facility etc

I had a chance to make a brief comparison between Alien+, Opus #3 and QP1R a week ago . The iem's used were Periodic Audio Berillium and Lear LUF-3F (BA with 3 drivers). They are very close in terms of pure sound. Questyle sounds a bit colder with vocals laid back and veiled (this is only true when you compare it to warm sounding daps like other two). Opus has treble that sounds little more "rich" (also those can be a bit hursh when bright iem are used) and middle kinda closer to listener. But overall those three are beasts of the same efficiency. Also for some low sensitive or hard to drive iem i would deffinitely choose Alien+. For something like Katana or Andromeda, or Dorado i would go with Opus.

Thank you, Thoth...I mean specKtre! Though I neither had a chance to hear Opus#3 nor QP1R, this comparison definitely speaks well for the Alien+ SQ.

Not sure about A+ but Alien Gold is very full bodied across the spectrum compared to all those "colder" DAPs. The sound reminds me of the type of analogue sheen from the old HiFiMAN units (601, etc.). The Alien is smoother, however, since it blurs the lower treble a little, giving way to emotional vocals. Upper bass is equally well controlled, and while one would think the combination of the two would lead to a flat soundstage, the Alien is extremely holographic. This trait is supposedly even better with the new version.

I would love to find an IEM that suits my hardcore/punk collection well, but as far as DAPs go I'm sure you won't be disappointed by the smooth, controlled response of the A+. On top of that, quick bass that goes deep on the Alien will add nice pacing to rythem and such.

This review will be translate to english language.

That review makes the Alien+ seem way too analytical. Maybe I should leave that statement for those who have actually heard it.
