Last week I got a new DAP... 6 hours later it wasn't working. Flashing a Bios onto it bricked it...
Not really amused by that, last weekend was painful... but I have the replacement now and got shop to update bios before they sent it out, I didn't want a repeat. I never really got a chance to listen to it, so that is all I have done since I got it. Helps shop had also charged it up for me.
No complaints so far. I don't have a lack of volume available to me.
I have been using Tidal for about 4 months and every month it thinks my favourite band is Underworld.
They aren't bad but I wouldn't say they fav... I don't really have one.
Its only as I had a small playlist downloaded on my phone that I listened to the most often while out and about... and they may be over represented in it. I didn't want to fill my phones storage up with music... but I will happily do that for above. Need to correct its misunderstanding about bands. It won't have it so easy from now on. I probably listen to more music now its not so complicated to set up. Attaching a USB DAC to PC and then plugging headphones into it takes more time than just plugging in headphones to DAC. Also doesn't restrict PC usage to one thing...
Need to buy a Micro sd card tomorrow, as I would soon use the 64gb of onboard but a 512gb sdcard might take a while.
That is one advantage over phones... and this can go way louder than I need right now, without distorting. And not many phones have balanced outputs or Desktop grade DAC chips in them... but I can't make calls... oh no.
