Hello @FiiO Just wanted to report that the M11 Plus does not appear to work with Bluetooth transmitters such as the Creative BT-W3. When the device is plugged-in, the player detects it and asks for permission to access the device, but no sound is played through it. Under USB output settings...

There doesn't seem to be much discussion about this product; searching on Google leads to one discussion on ASR and another on Reddit, both with not much discourse so I thought I'd put down my initial impressions here for the benefit of those who are looking to use it as DAP. Starting with...

lol all that netsplaining about signal voltages and bits might sound a little bit convincing if the transmitted data were directly translated, raw, into the audio signal BUT - the data streamed to a music streamer from a services like Tidal, Spotify, et al is in a compressed format that still...

Honestly, that never occurred to me. Good to know.

Hi all,   I wonder if anyone would chime in on the long term durability of the Momentum's leather earpads?   I've had the original Momentum for over two years and it has served me well on an almost nightly basis, but recently it has begun to develop small cracks in the leather pads. These...

Hi,   Does anyone know the proper path format to use in order to get the ZX1 to properly read m3u and m3u8 files?   I've put the playlists in the Music\Playlist folder, and the Walkman reads them but does not find any of the tracks in there, and so result in 0-track playlists.   The...

I just got a QED uPlay Plus Stereo Bluetooth Receiver, and noted that its power supply is rated 5V 800mA. Most USB power, from wall chargers, car chargers and power banks, however, are rated 5V 1A, so I wonder if it is safe to use those to power the uPlay Plus?   Thanks in advance!

Apologies if this has been covered before, as I have been doing a bit of searching and apparently, the only game in town is the Fiio L5?   Are there really no other options? I'm hoping for ones where the attached cable comes out from the side, or one that provides a female 1/8" plug instead?

The A7r II certainly looks tempting for its AF capabilities, BSI sensor and improved metal mount... can't wait for my regular shop here to bring them in so that I can play around with it and then tell myself I don't really need yet-another-camera, lol.

Haven't been here for a while and it looks like I didn't miss much either.   So anyone upgraded to the 5Ds or sr yet? Personally I decided to wait it out for now, as even processing 36MP is already quite slow on my dinosaur of a machine so 50MP is going to aggravate the situation even more...

  I don't know about the other two, but the Sonnet is very easy to maintain (if that criteria is important to you). I have the cheaper version (aluminium body with gold trim), the nib and feed easily comes out with a pull. The nib is attached to the feed via a pair of tabs on each side of the...

Has anyone modified their TS-E so that both tilt and shift occur on the same axis? Instructions I found seem simple enough, but the four screws that I need to remove are very tight and I didn't want to apply too much force with my jewelers' screwdriver set for fear of leaving marks or worse...

  It writes very smoothly, though is quite heavy on ink that bleed through sometimes becomes a problem depending on paper quality.   I also haven't figured out how to properly drain and clean this pen yet; the whole nib assembly does not come out when I pull it like my Parker pens do.  

Hi all, I'm usually over at The Canon Thread but I noticed you have this Pen-Fi thread going on as well... so I thought I'd pop in and show my most recent acquisition:   Apologies for the nasty finger prints though, it was just a test shot after I had acquired a new lens.   Since my...

If weight is a concern, then yeah I'd pick a backpack. I don't think you really need a large backpack for your kind of gear, the A6000 isn't as big and weighty as a full DSLR kit. Your biggest concern would actually be the headphones -- you want something spacious enough that also offers some...
