has anyone ever got the " connect to ac power message " when you try to update even though u are on a 100%

I actually looked through the Roon forum just today. It seems Zx507 is missing OpenGL support and Roon app is not compatible with it.

Can this be rectified?

That's a software bug, you have to let it drop below 100% battery to be able to update.

Anyone heard anything about Roon possibly working on this?

quoting my post from earlier...
Another problem: ROON is a no-no on this. The framework ROON is using requires hardware that's simply not supported by the chipset - so this will likely never be possible. I was hoping to use it as a Roon remote and listen to my library while at home.

First few days I was thinking this not to be a real issue, however, two weeks later, I consider the combination of No ROON + No USB DAC mode to be quite a deal breaker in my case.

I've already filled out the return request for my unit in the mean time... Will do a write-up of this eventually, but between the too small screen, constant worries about battery life, no roon, no usb dac and the EU volume cap... sticking with the wm1a.

Sony really needs to hurry up and fix this sample/bit rate debauchery. There is a noticeable dip in SQ when not using the stock player due to the resampling. I've done blind a/b and can tell the difference

yes and i believe it is Sony Thing and always want to be secure whenever updating system firmware . I hope it helps and stay safe

sorry it is not the bug ,even if it is 85% battery power still it would ask you to connect to ac power and code is written that way and remeber some other smart phone also ask the same thing what matter the battery power level is.Thanks

There is a bug, it doesn't let you update if you are at 100% charge, have to let it drop below. That's the issue goody was referring to I believe. Hopefully has been fixed with latest firmware 1.21.

That‘s disappointing about Roon, but not a deal breaker for me. I can still listen to my home collection via Plex.

Most devices check for a minimum charge level before allowing an update to start, due to the risk of bricking a device if it runs out of power during the middle of an update. It looks like Sony is being extra cautious, and checks/enforces if the device is connected to a power source, before allowing the update to start. So no cause for concern, as this is not a fault. Just plug it into a power source, as the User Guide recommends.

I've got no troubles logging in to tidal and registering device. I just ordered a Samsung Evo plus so hopefully that will solve it

Samsung Evo plus arrived. Offline working a treat. And what I thought was DAP lag selecting songs and load times was gone. It's instant with this card. Happy man.

Yeah, sadly most microsd cards are fake. Even amazon recommended brands are often crap.
Moral of the story: Samsung, Sandisk. I'd also advise against Lexar - had 2 cards fail.

 

[Whitigir]

Lexor failed even authentic one from my experiences. I wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole. Considering it is a nightmare to be losing all those music collections

 

[eternalEquilibrium]

I'm surprised there isn't come kind of consumer regulation of faulty products

I am considering buying the Sony as a second player, unfortunately the issue of volume limitation worries me. I buy a European device, can I change it relatively easily? Or am I buying a Japanese device, the question is whether I can set the language to German? Thank you for your opinion
