    Just bought myself a late Christmas present, and I'm waiting for it to arrive.
    By the way, the company says that to update the firmware, the SD card must be formatted with FAT32. Problem is, most come formatted with EXFat, and Windows will ONLY format large SD cards as EXFat.
    There is a program called GUIFormat which will do it, but EXFat is a FAR more efficient file system.
    I'd keep the cheapo card, format it as FAT32, and use it for firmware upgrades.
    I bought a 256GB card as well. Can't wait to try the player out.
    Thanks for the informative video, and Happy New Year!

    Hi! Thanks for the nice review. I'm considering buying this and would like to ask about the idle shutdown function.
    I sometimes go to sleep while listening to music and would like to set it to turn off for example after 45 minutes, to save the battery.
    Does this player turn off after being idle (so that the user hasn't pushed any buttons) in the set time?

    • @AudiophileHeaven
      @AudiophileHeaven  Рік тому +1

      It should do that, altough I did not use the function extensively. But it sould work. I think I did it once or twice and was surpised that it worked. But I can't recall if it was playing music and it shut down or if it was idle and shut down (?)

      In my experience, all DAPs will have this issue, unless they make a ghost playlist with no repeats, but from experience all of them repeat songs unless they're android based and the app is well designed, like iBasso's Mango app and Hiby music.

    So I bought this after I accidentally broke my Fiio X5 a couple years back, and I've been itching for a new portable DAC for all my downloaded music. I loved my Fiio X5, but I wish it had Bluetooth as well. I got this for the Bluetooth, but didn't realize that I guess it wouldn't work with Airpods?
    I also see that when I go to my artists, it just lists all their songs completely. Is there no way to go to an artist, and then view their albums separately, like most, if not all music players? I like the sound of the player, but the playability/enjoyment I get from this doesn't seem on-par with the Fiio X5. Was thinking maybe I'd be better off with an X5 Mark 3? Though I'll probably still be better off sticking with my phone + Spotify until then...

    Hi George. Excellent review, you've earned another subscriber. I just finished watching your review with great interest as I'm looking for a decent quality player to replace the RUIZU X02 with HIFIMAN RE-600 V2 earbuds (I know, not high end but suits my purposes). I enjoy listening to tunes while on long motorcycle rides. My concern is I carry the player in the inside upper vest pocket of my riding jacket and am hoping any associated movement or jostling may change the settings, i.e. file being played or volume, etc. Do you think this might pose an issue, or would the 'lock' feature address this?

      I'm also on the fence between the F20 and the H2. But I like how the F20 can play ALAC (apple lossless) as well, makes my workflow a lot easier. But if the H2 is easier to use with large libraries (e.g. scrolling through the alphabet when lists get too long, like old iPods), I'd rather have that.

    Have you (or anyone) been able to load a playlist onto this player? I download about two dozen podcasts on Sundays to listen to at work all week. I like them in a specific order, but cannot seem to make it work with this device. Past devices, I simply created the playlist in Windows Media Player, and synced it to the device. Nothing I have tried has worked yet...

    • @AudiophileHeaven
      @AudiophileHeaven  Рік тому +2

      I do not think that sync with windows media player would work, you'll probably need something like an m3u playlist mnade with foobar, I am not sure as I do not work with playlists...
      You could, at the very least
      Use Bulk Rename Utility,
      Make a copy folder of your files
      Rename files, so that you add numbering to the files
      Use folder browsing while playing them, and you will have them in order.

      Hii there, Overall, this one is quite strong, and should be a good match for most headphones, but for 6XX and 560 I might recommend something with a bit more power, and likely a balanced cable too, like iFi Go Bar, iBasso DC04PRO, iBAsso DX160, and TempoTec V6. For the super affordable range, H2 is one of the strongest available that I tested, so if you can't spend more it should be super ok
