My R3s arrived yesterday and I tested both for some time.
I am good with SQ but there are too many issues to use them for now.. waiting for an updated firmware to be happy to use them again
This is the outcome, can you answer these please?:
Issues and questions (only on both devices, the other issues seem to be device specific):
1. is the GAIN setting real gain? or just pushing up or lowering the output level via software and is the impedance altered between both gain settings?
2. Will it be included to support embedded lyrics and album arts? or do I need to pull all information into files for my complete library?
3. can you pleasde fix the issue that the clock resets to its initial timezone then and when, e.g. when entering a menu?
4. Loading of the artworks takes qbout 2 secs when scrolling down,.. and again when scrolling up. that is disturbing, is there a way to cache or preload them?
5. I need manual.. I do not know what many items of the options really mean and I do not see an effect on some, when is a manual planned?
6. up to date players can connect to two devices to play music to them via bt5, eg BT-Speakers. is bluetooth 5 planned?
7. Wireless LAN can not be connected to WLANs that are not broadcasting SSID, although there is an option to manually insert the SSID and Password..I have secure not broadcasted ssids
8. During Bluetooth playback you cannot exit the playscreen without disconnecting from bluetooth, so no equalizer MSEB or system settings can be made.. why?
9. I cannot select the Bluetooth codec to be used, will this be implemented? for some devices this is neccessary.
10. sporadic freezes in the menu occur for no obvious reason, is this known?
11. After reboot is starts into bluetooth receiving mode is this works as designed? I would assume it should go into the standard music overview interface. (it started doing this after configuring bluetooth once.
12. DSD files of 1,2 GB Sample rate 1822.4, 6Channels, Bitrate 16934kbps are not playable. break every 0,5 second.!!!
13. pressing an option in the settings menu sometimes throws one off to the basic screen.
14. Songs in an Album are not sorted at all. not by name, file title nor by track nr! Thats horrible and makes them unusable for me .(
Which of these things are being fixed in the next firmware upgrade. and.. you have an idea when it will come?
Nice to have requests:
1. can we setup a background wallpaper at some time?
2. include last.fm to track and scrobble played songs.
Good Stuff:
the playback SQ is really good for this size, I really enjoy it.
The MSEB is working gorgeous, I am not a fan of Equalizers but.. wow.
playback is quick and reaction time on the screen is perfect for me.
edit: I forgot about the display.. the display is gorgeous! no hoghlights, no dark areas, just allover bright and wow
