Well this wasn’t supposed to arrive until next Thursday :smiley:

Sounds rather good, I have to say!

Looks like the Dynamic Normalizer is the way to go. Everything else can stay as is. Should be good enough to enjoy and getting a little extra battery. Can anyone else answer the Battery Care question?

And my final one and I'm done asking, is there a limit to the MicroSD card? Would it be able to manage more than 512GB, possibly 1TB?
Dynamic normalizer is junk. It kills dynamic range in your music, and takes down battery life.
After a good burn in, Direct sound is usually the best sounding.

Everyone has different tastes. I'm listening to all modes and will eventually decide what works for me. No method is wrong. But loving what I'm hearing so far.

True though to me I much prefer to get the dynamic differences the performer or composer intended in a recording, not just everything at the same loudness but if you just play random across a lot of different albums rather than playing a given album in full dynamic normalizer can be usefull as you don’t constantly have to adjust volume manually

FYI , i was trying to download the mod and google drive detected Trojan malware and wouldn't allow me to download.

It is actually Windows anti virus that complains about some of the fw even though there is no virus in any of them. I’ve had to download some of them in my older Win8 virtual machine and the clear them in Defender after copying them to my Win10 physical machine

Approaching three years of use and yet I still smile sheepishly whenever I pull them out of the carrying pouch :ksc75smile:

Does it have a minor dent?

My Avast said Malware too, but I went ahead anyway, because my Windows 10 machine runs slower that Windows ME in 2000 with a 1GB drive normally. I don’t think malware could live in my machine...too slow.

is there any indicator that your 1A is currently running a modded version? seems like the device itself still registered it as 3.02 version

No there is no way so you have to manully keep track
