Hi Again,
Thanks to the two folks who gave me some advice on what to do with my Explorer, and while installing the HiBy music app has made it possible to listen to most of my files, I still can’t listen to all of them, and others just disappear. Also, since switching to HiBy, my optical out doesn’t work, and this is what I used to connect the Explorer to my desktop speakers.
And, I am getting no response at all from Echobox when I ask for support. As an original backer of the project, this is especially aggravating. So, I’m starting to plan to replace this doggone thing.
I like the sound signature of the Explorer. To me, my songs seem fuller and more alive than they do if I listen to my other DAP, a Fiio X3II. So, I’d like some advice from whomever is willing to give it. I’d like a similar sound to the Explorer, something that can handle DSD and 24-bit WAV files, has an optical output, excellent reliability and support. All for under $350. Is that even possible?
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.
