Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that!
My problem is not a storage capacity. My problem is a Firmware limitation. Even if I have my 30,000 files on the 200 gb SD card, only the maximum amount of files allowed by the firmware will appear in the library.
Examples:
- Shanling M2s and M3s: max SD card capacity = 256gb, max files managed by the firmware: 15,000
- Cayin M3: max SD card capacity = 256gb, max files managed by the firmware: 12,000 (20,000 since firmware v2.0)
- Astell & Kern AK Jr.: still waiting for the answer
- Fiio X3 and X5: still waiting for the answer
It is really a critical problem and it is not honestly manage by the DAPs brands because the music files limitation due to the firmware is never written in the specifications. So, you go on forums and a lot of people are complaining because they have been fooled by the storage capacity thinking that the device can manage as much files as you put on the SD card. But it doesn't work like that!
So, my problem remain the same, does anyone knows a good and not too expansive DAP with a firmware allowing to manage a 30,000 files library?
