Here is a reasonably priced 512GB https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-SDCR-512GB-microSDXC/dp/B07JJH38PN/

The OEM website has it listed at $168 USD so this looks legit. Very surprised at the price.

Is it a EU Version with volume cap?

Aye. But I used this tool to change the region to US:

Though I'm not sure if I need the high gain output on 4.4mm balanced.
The seller at LQi says burn in for 50 hours.
I will leave high gain disabled for 4.4mm balanced unless I really need it.

FYI,
The TOTL Final D8000 is easily driven by the 1Z.

The Final D8000 is one lovely headphone.

Ordered a 4.4mm balanced cable from LQi Cables in the US. For Oppo PM2 headphones.
Arrived in the UK today.

Nice! I have a 4.4 LQi Esprit for Focal cans. Great build quality and customer service.

Thanks mate! A pretty sweet deal!
For the curious, I attached the price of this particular card over the last few month:

Congratulations

You are transfering to the internal memory?
If so, I have similar experience.

For faster(ish) transfer, I'd recommend to use a MicroSD card with an an external USB3 card reader (or built-in if your computer has one). It is often the speed of the card itself the bottleneck, not the USB2/3 speed itself.

Thanks I now own 1z tia and phantoms its crazzy good

I see no I am transfering right into the dap it self, cause I have enouf room for my content, its only 211gig and sony has 230gigs. So I assume that is normal... Dam sony could made the internal speed faster even if its an old device. I use my sd card in my phone its a 400gig one, I stream spotify to 1z haha. With new update on spotify we now can download 10k songs !

After picking up the sandisk 400gb on Amazon UK last week for £82, I didn’t think it would drop any further. Now £75 and cheaper than the 256gb

Same as folder of the music files.
Example i have bach golberg variations in folder Goldberg Variationen BWV 988

the album art must be named the same as the folder Golberg Variationen BWV 988.jpg

This does not work.
Maybe because I have progressive JPEGs embedded inside the FLAC files?
i.e. the presence of the JPEG in the folder (with the same name of the folder) is not fixing the thumbnail.
Do I need to remove all progressive images embedded inside FLAC files?

I don’t know which one gets used if there is an embedded and one in the folder but my guess would be that the embedded take priority and yes progressive is not supported

I calculated 100GB , as follows. 400GB formatted 91.5% usable space so 366GB. Thesame for 512GB *0.915 = 468

Where is the link to that 512Gb plz. I need to store my DSD512 files LoL!

hope you didn't buy as i got snookered...and i should have seen it right off the bat..they were clever counterfeits...the 512 on the front of the actual product (not the manufacturers picture) shows the 512 spread apart and on every samsung microsd i have seen the numbers are kerned very close...also on the back, did not have real look serial number that samsung cards have

i think these cards were only 16gb but the FW is fooled so it does try to copy everything out ...but when you look at the data..it's corrupt..the weird thing is...only the A&K240 flagged it as a bad card...the samsung note 8 was fooled along with the z1a

i ended up finding some kingston canvas react for $150 ea...will report on this when they arrive

I personnally use MusicBrainz Picard to retag properly all FLAC files, you can use either their database JPEG file or upload yours, it works great.

ah Mirage by FM , one of my favorites 80s albums - great taste.

You'll probably hate me for saying it and making you noticing , but ever paid attention to how it seems like there is a witch head between Lindsey and Stevie ?

also Christine's head seems like 180o rotated , exorcist-style

it's one of those illusions , once you see it you can not unsee it

cheers
