I've just bought "The Ultimate Digital Audio Player", Tempotec V3-D, and I'm wondering whether there's a trick to setting the time?
The unit arrived set to Beijing time (GMT+8), but when I go to System>Time setting>Adjust clock time, I can't change either the hour or the minute setting. (Not that I need to, but I can't change the date either.)
I assume that the firmware (TempoTec V3 1.3) is identical to that in the analogue V3, so I'm hoping someone might have had a similar experience and know how to resolve it?

Hi,

I have been looking for info about the V3 Blaze before I make a purchase and have a question for those who own one.

I want a dap that is capable of my entire music library, some 30,000 tracks and climbing, without issue. I had come across the v3 Blaze and wanted to know if it could handle that many tracks. I had sent an email to TempoTec asking for the same information, and had gotten the answer, "The V3 Blaze officially supports up to 20,000 music tracks, but in practice, it can handle up to 40,000." While helpful, this left me a bit confused, and I wanted to ask someone who owns a v3 Blaze for clarity.

In regards to the info above, I have a couple questions:

  • Is the v3 Blaze capable of reading and loading upwards of 40,000 tracks in it's music player software without issue?
  • Or is it the case where up to 20,000 tracks can be loaded with the music player and any above that requires you to use the file browser to play them instead?
I appreciate any help yall can give me, and hope this post helps anyone else searching for the same info in the future.

The manufacturer informed you and basically advised but you want another answer you are hoping to be happier with? Is it possible as they said but they can not support this I would assume.

The answer the manufacturer gave me was as quoted in my post, which while giving me an idea of the track limit of the dap left me with more questions for clarity, which are the ones I typed out.

For reference (though if I am incorrect please tell me), in my research into another dap, the Shanling M1 Plus, I found that it has a total track limit of 20,000, however I believe one can play even more than that limit by loading them directly through the file browser, rather than the music player software. This info turned me away from the M1 Plus as an option.

As such, from the wording of the manufacturer's answer, I was unsure if the v3 Blaze could read up to the limit in the music player, or if, like the M1 Plus, one would have to use the file browser for anything above the 20,000 mark. I did email the manufacturer back with the same questions in my post, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask in a place where people were discussing the v3 Blaze. Plus it means that if someone like me has the same questions, the info should show up in searches now.

I have the original TempoTec V3 and when I try to update the firmware it says "no firmware update found" and the .upt file is placed in the root of the microSD. The thing is, I don't remember if I had already updated to version 1.3 or not and the device says 1.1

the file name must be v3_analog.upt and if it Dosn't work you should try another sd card formated as fat32

Got this email from tempotec. seems like a good deal for the v3 blaze. thought i'm good with my v3 og since it's mostly used as a transport so i don't need the extra power of the blaze but found out that blaze has a faster processor as well.

Just bought original v3 used and it’s on the way.

So how does this thing sounds? cuz there’s a two opposite thoughts: one say it’s musical and bassy, other- it’s bright and brittle 🤔
