I need streaming. Solely for discovering new tracks. Once discovered I like to own my music of course

I usually just do that on YouTube with a cheap set of headphones plugged into my laptop. I am just worried that there might be interference from Wi-Fi affecting the sound possibly. All it takes is a drunk pilot to knock out your Wi-Fi. LOL

There is, each time I stream, no matter what player I use, RF is there.

Guys have anyone gone back in firmware to 1.2 or other previus Firmwares? ty in advance if you have doned it can you tell if its safe??

Yes I have.. I loved the warm organic sound signature of fw 1.2 and stayed with it. it is safe.. only your bookmarks get wiped out so convert them to playlists within player. I have done the swap from 1.2 to 2.0 back to 1.2 on mac.. works every time..

Got this from HDtracks.com. A pretty phenomenal mastering so far! As usual, the Sony is best for this kind of music.

I second that question, but in terms of sound quality.

1.2 more organic and bit warm. Love what 1.2does to bass and vocals ..
2.0 more detail and bit analytical .. tighter bass, treble enhanced a bit, broader soundstage..

this is true for WM1Z it will be nice if we know what it does for 1A from users using 1A (it is in this thread i know it)
Thanks for the info!

When I want to preview a new release of an album, I usually use YouTube or use the sample on the sites where I buy music. No need for streamer.

@kingdixon congrats, you are lucky, I remember the fiio x3 brick and despite the Chinese support passed me the tools to Flash the Rom, I wasn't able to do so, the whole memory got corrupted

It is not so much that the frequency response is any different, it just seems to have more air and space around it and sounds larger to my ears. There are also a lot of studio and live extras on it as well. I would wait until they have a 20% off sale though
