Sorry to hear of your troubles. You might have a better chance of getting a response from Eversolo over on the Zidoo support forum.

No, you didn't miss anything because it wasn't mentioned. This is blind testing conducted by people who apparently do not understand how to do blind testing. What is amusing, and unfortunately all too common in the audiophile mainstream, is that great attention was paid to inconsequential...

188888 is not a valid port number (they only run up to 65535). Try port 18888--works on my unit.

Unlikely, Samba ports are standard. As I mentioned, your ISP might be blocking 445 and 139...if that's the case, there's not much you can do about it. See here for some further info: https://superuser.com/questions/311658/make-a-network-drive-available-over-the-internet

I see. Well, in that case, you can open the ports temporarily to allow your friend to grab the files. Not ideal, but you can minimize the exposure. I just wouldn't leave it open for very long. :)

Really bad idea, from a security perspective. The A6 does not do even rudimentary password authentication, so basically anyone hitting that port from the internet has instant access to your device! At a minimum, they could easily erase your share to screw with you, or do far worse. Moreover...

I'd be interested in knowing how you get that to happen, since this is one of the frequent complaints about the DMP-A6...the screen does NOT wake up when streaming starts! Are you initiating playback using Cast within the native control app? That would do it. This is an issue for those of...

Go big or go home! If you use Roon, for under $500, you can set up a large touchscreen monitor running off a small, cheap fanless PC as a control point (only works with Windows). Darko did a video on this a few years ago. In my case, I use a Dell P2418HT touchscreen and a MeLE Quieter 3Q...

LOL, well when you put it that way, it looks like a horrible deal. The i2 is priced just $80 more! Of course, you and I would agree that relative to competitive offerings from the likes of Sonore, SoTM, Lumin, Auralic, etc., the Element S looks decent. Decent, that is, if you buy into the...

As of this morning, still nothing on Matrix's website, but their US distributor, Apos, has information about it. As one might gather from the name, it is a streamer-only unit sharing the same design language as the Element *2 series, priced at around $1,500. Will start shipping on April 25...

A terrible tragedy has befallen the family of John Siau, VP and Chief Designer at Benchmark Media Systems. According to The NY Times, a gunman killed John's son David and his 18-month old daughter during a roadside attack in Montana. Other members of John's family were critically injured...

For USA types, I spent some time looking around yesterday, and found that Monoprice sells TRS to male or female XLR Cables with gold-plated pins for less than $10, depending on length. Use their Cable Finder to locate them. If you want higher-end, one of my go-to cable houses, Blue Jeans...

In that scenario, Core Audio in MacOS will upsample everything to 24/192 and send it to the DAC. This is probably how I'd go; I doubt there would be any audible degradation due to upsampling.

I'm with you concerning this drawback, but the one application I could see this being a killer for is driving higher-end headphone amps. A "pure DAC" with balanced outputs and no redundant functions like volume control would be optimal. I think the addition of balanced outputs combined with...

If you are playing from a Mac, it is an Apple thing. Apple Music on the Mac does not automatically change the output sampling rate based on what is playing; you have to change that manually using the Audio MIDI Setup tool. Major pain in the butt. Oddly, on iOS devices, automatic switching IS...

Sorry, I don't have a power meter. However, I also thought the temp is probably a pretty good proxy.

To interject some data into this discussion, I used an IR thermometer to measure the top housing temperature on my EX5. After sitting in "standby" mode for more than 24 hours, the top of the unit registered about 92 deg F (33 C). I then began playing back music via the headphone output...

<groan> I take it you're running Big Sur. This is due to the fun new security features. You can search online for fixes...here is one approach, but I can't vouch for it personally: I haven't applied the update yet, because I'm still waiting for a better explanation of what it does. The...

Bummer. Any chance the Android audio stack is upsampling? Can you confirm the Pixel is outputting the correct sampling rate on another device?

That's disturbing! I haven't seen this behavior on mine. Just out of curiosity, what are you using to feed the DAC?
