So nice of you, thank you!! main issue that I am facing is that there is no labeling on LCD panel. I will PM you the pictures of panel, maybe together we'll be able to find the model used. Thank you!!I got some spare parts. Let me check if any works and I send you a PM, meanwhile you could check (when you get the device) which model of LCD is.

The latest DSDs Firmware is 0.5b.
When you say "new version", do you mean the Hardware, or the Firmware?
I'm asking, because the Firmware doesn't affect the Line Out on the AK device models.
The DAC chip has L+, L-, R+, & R- output pins, that the op-amps & transistor buffers amplify, and then output as Single-Ended Line Out, Single-Ended Headphone Out, and Balanced Headphone Out.
Yes But I will give him a chance Somehow this sound captivates me regardsAKM4499?

You're right - the Line Level Output is on the Dual AK4497 model.
One thing to NOTE - Since the Volume adjustment is within the AK DAC chips, none of the DSD units have an actual Fixed Line Level Output.
.
There were some links in this thread, to 0.5b Firmware downloads, that worked earlier in the year, but they're not working now.
.
I don't know if this forum software will allow me to upload the copy of 0.5b that I've got, or not - but I'll try.
The file type is a RAR, but I've given it a .txt suffix, so it would upload.
If you can download it, you'll need to delete the the .txt suffix, before uncompressing it.
Then rename sapp.bin to app.bin, and place app.bin and flash.bin on the DSD memory card.

Just check that mine is AK4497EQ.
thank you for the firmware but I can not download, it convert to .rar when I download, and I can not extract it.

I tried to fill 256GB card with m4a files but the player does not read them. What's the problem and how can I fix that?

I broke the plastic Len (LCD still work) on the Zishan DSD (dual ak4977). Where can I get a replacement for the Len or the entire case?

Hello @buzzbuzz you should send a Pm to huo guang Store, he states that is very close to zishan developers, and he could get you the replacements that you need.I broke the plastic Len (LCD still work) on the Zishan DSD (dual ak4977). Where can I get a replacement for the Len or the entire case?
