time - it takes like " a day"  to transfer more or less 300 files.... it use to take 30minutes..
 
and its easier to delete albums etc... it is a late 2013 mac 2.7ghz i5, my music files are in a different hard disk...
 
anyway it was faaaar faster with content transfer
 
am i the only one? 
 

Wow. That is way too long .. I have transferred about 15 GB in about 4 mins.. The one thing i have noticed in Mac if you open parallel copies it takes longer . My suggestion would be to copy all files in a single move .. Normally the way do it is .. I use CMD + Select file folders i need to move and move it on the player first in a common location on the player ( if they belong to different directories). This moved files faster. Once loaded on the player move them to the correct folders as you need. If you are moving folders new it is even simpler. Also you can overwrite or merge destination folders .. My advice copy all music in one shot and see if that improves performance
 
PS : I use macbook air 2012 version with i5 1,7 ghz processor so definitely slower than yours

After hours more listening, I think the differences are are there, I can't put pick it easily, not from a quick a and b check. But over an album the peaks in the treble seem smoother on gonemad, with the bass a little more controlled in gone mad.
However both players sound very good.
The biggest advantage is gonemad's user interface being a lot more logical and smoother to use than the Sony player. Album art just works.

Yes, now you are getting it . Gonemad is much more refined to me, and my gears. I understand about different ears, different gears, different hears....but to me, my gears, and ears, the gonemad is much better, and more refined than the Onkyo, the stock player is also good, but it needs the sound adjustment app disabled. Still, I would prefer gonemad first, and then Onkyo before the stock app

people should simply download the free versions , i mean it's not like you are going to pay 1000$ for some cool prestige colours....

 
i have switched to onkyo , i am currently listening back and forth between gonemad/onkyo , the stock player has been relieved to an early retirement i guess 

oh and being finally able to see the covers artwork on the fly is a nice touch, especially considering that i didn't have to pay an extra 1000$ (here you go again) 

 
 
and please , if anyone else has tried some other cool/free players , please let us know
 
the more , the merrier

ZX2 on Angie sounds more refined (I think) with Gone Mad player. More neutral, but not flat.
 
Anyway, I think it is very nice attempt to make excellent music player and (IMHO) should be supported by purchase. I bought full version to encourage developer to go further with this nice player.

No DSD means no gonemad for me, about 10% of my library is DSD, I am not about to give up on them anytime soon...

I compared the gonemad against the stock player. I found out that the stock player provides a wider soundstage and a little flatter than the gonemad. I'm using my Legend Omega with Effect Audio Thor in TRRS during the comparison.

Where do you source your DSD files?

 

[T.R.A.N.C.E.]

Sony F887 + Aune B1, the super sexy stack of power, just look at those matching footprints.

I got them as rips of SACDs in Hong Kong and some Japanese music from ototoy.jp.
Also got some free downloads from http://bluecoastmusic.com/

Has anyone else purchased a WM Port to micro usb cable from Brimar Audio recently? Got mine through the post to connect the ZX2 with the Chord Mojo but whatever sequence I try to connect the 2 devices, I just cannot get it to work. I have sent Brimar an email to see if he has any ideas, but it is very frustrating.

Wow - I was tempted to till Brimar told me the cable for the Mojo/Hugo is different from the one for the HA-2.

Yes that was my next option if I can't get the Brimar cable to work.
