Here are my initial Review points:
1. Good work on the English
2. I think "Sound Gain" should just be "Gain"
3. I realised compared to previous FW the "All Music" takes afew more seconds to load up.
4. Good job on the Continuous scrolling down when holding down. If you could do the same for the continuous scrolling down 5 songs at a time when holding right. That would be GREAT!.
5. SQ wise it sounded more BASSY then previous firmware. Alittle fatiguing.

Just got Mojo in yesterday. Need a bit of time to see what I think vs. Esther Analog @howdy. My first inclination is that Esther should be used solo. I'm looking at Mojo more for stacking with my iPhone or computer than with a DAP.

 

Yeah Im really looking for your impression as well being that I had that MoJo. I really only want one or the other I do not want to stack the Esther with the Mojo, I either want the Mojo with my Ipod or the esther alone. Nik, are you using the Mojo with your X5? I thought it was a great combo.

Thanks Fum for all of your thoughts.

Hey guys, I just got an advance copy of the new firmware. A lot of good stuff listed in the changelog. Off to test it out!
 
Two things I'd still like to see changed are:
  • Default to Low Gain after firmware upgrade. I feel this is safer for the users.
  • Enable Artist -> Album -> Song sorting in the Music Library
 
I'll report back in tomorrow after I play around with the new firmware some more...

FW V1.0.012 was launched on the end of October, the added Coaxial Digital mode and more steady system are helpful for better experience. But we did get some negative feedback from many enthusiastic users. According to their feedback, including death during standby, some non- convenient operation and so forth, we developed and finally launched this FW. Thanks the users who help to feedback and test new FW.

This is a great effort. I really hope volume will be display on the top. Battery percentage will show in the battery logo. There is no need 2 battery indicator at the top.

I'd also suggest that the top bar include:
1. Volume
2. Play Mode

I'd further suggest that users should be able to change Play Mode in both Now Playing screens (the one with more information and the simpler one).

Then remove the Play Mode and Play/Pause status icons from the main display in the default Now Playing screen because they're redundant with the ones in the top bar and dedicate more room on the Now Playing screen to information about the current song.

Just my two cents...

soundawareHi, bought this player, great sound, but I would like some changes in the firmware:
1) Change play mode (random, circle, etc) I would like a separate option, just blindly pressed the button down not very convenient.
2) When you turn off the player resets the position of the track he played is always the place where he stopped
PS: will there be a possibility of the Russian language? I hope it is clear outlined idea. Thank you!
