I like it too. Anything with blue hue and darker background really works well.

And a big thank you to the one who created it

Some initial impressions on 1.2.7 sound
-good vocals (especially female). Vocals were boring on 1.2.6.
-smaller soundstage than 1.2.6, less clarity, muddy even.
-Warmer, smoother, not as bright as 1.2.6
For 1.2.6, I felt like I had to tame the brightness (I turned down my treble bands). For 1.2.7, I feel like I need to liven it up. Not really sure I want to bother with that via the EQ. I am probably going back to 1.2.5 or 1.2.6 sound. 1.2.5 had things punchy and fun overall, 1.2.6 was far more analytical/bright overall and could be adjusted easily by turning down the last 3 EQ bands.
Observations are based on the exact same set-up (Lyr with Amperex tubes, DacIt, Mad Dogs, EQ on with the 30hz band turned all the way down), so I know the difference is in the coax output sound.
It's not defective. If you move to 1.2.6, it's using a different scanning technique and to get it to work right requires few simple steps. I suggest you go back to prior posts to find out how. In conclusion, you might need to delete the .audio_data folder on the sd card in order to allow a full, lengthy I might add for the 1st time, scan.
Good luck but please don't give up. I went back and forth with 1.2.5 and 1.2.6 and prefer the scanning progress bar on the latest release. At least you know it's working and where you are and when it's over.
I went to 1.27 and scanning is very buggy, has always been with my 2nd batch. very hard just to get it to see my 64g sandisk card at all, and when it does, i can only see the files when i browse the folders, everything else is blank.
I deleted the .audio_data folder, and now the .album_data folder, and factory reset many times. Is it better to keep nothing on the internal memory and only use the sdcard for storage? i also tried a spare 32g card and same thing. any other ideas? thanks.
oh I'm sorry. Images deleted
I learned from my time with Cowon players its best to just use the cards for storage as much as possible. We only have like 5 gigs to play around with and these things aren't know for their reliability, so I just leave the internal memory alone as much as possible.
