it has USB in (USB DAC) and USB Out (send dogital fata to anothwr DAC/AMP, but for this one you'll need the sony WMC-H10 cable)

so the newest A105 has USB DAC function while the more expensive ZX500 doesn’t

 

[djselbeck]

No the a105 does not. Only the a55,45 and so on

What is exacrly your problem with the 1TB card?

Tested it with my 3 year old WM1A, it has indexed 50k tunes properly.

The DAP creates a 'database' each time it is powered up. This takes time and slows down acces to the tunes.
It is a stupid design as indexing a database should only happen after USB connection or when the user deletes something and then only on request.
I will test the delay once my TB card has been filled.

I.e.: the A105 does not have the database issue?

It is a little irritating, but as the A55 has such good battery life you can just leave it on in standby rather than switching it off, avoiding this issue.

did you notice that it switches off after 24 hours in pause, or is it only mine that is doing that?

Anyone know battery life specs on playing a MP3 file at V0 VBR via bluetooth w/ SBC? Just trying to choose on which setup I should use for the gym. Steaming SBC vs APTX vs LDAC doesn't really matter to me in the gym. SBC is clear enough.

With this state

It took to boot from compketely off to main screen

 

[udo]

2 minutes 48 seconds and 48 hundredths?
How large was the card if any?
Mine is being returned.
Which player (Sony too) does not have this database issue nor a slow startup?

That is normal behaviour...
One can only choose between 12 and 24 hours for the shut-down, right?

You can turn off the auto shut down actually.

I didn't check in the settings, mine went off while I was sitting near it and I hadn't listen to music since the night before it's the reason why I found out about that behavior.
Will check later if there's a 12/24h option, 24h is fine for me.

Ah, thanx. I already forgot...

For me the auto shut-down makes sense as I don't use the DAP every day.
