I do agree that yours is somehow an unpleasant situation; nevertheless, installing Beta releases are always installed AYOR, and afterwards complaints about broken functionalities are basically to be ignored, as known to be possible, if not even expected...Sadly, especially after my enthusiastic support of the "2.40" BETA release of the DMP-A6 firmware, I am unhappy with the "2.44" version.
While there is an obvious (and inadvertent?) change with the DSD handling - I now can't use DoP64 whereas I was required to previously - the issue is, unlike the previous BETA, the SQ has gone backwards... putting it simply (and unscientifically), listening to music with the DMP-A6 is no longer "fun".
Worse, I found that the A6 is one of the devices that blocks you from reverting and re-installing a previous firmware version... does anyone know of a way that I can perform some sort of "reset" back to the factory firmware level and then I could re-apply the "2.40" BETA?
If this is possible, I could at least consider this device as part of my setup - I was, after all, quite happy with it when running the previous BETA... otherwise, my WiiM Pro is back to being the better choice and I would return the DMP-A6.
I would say that, since Beta's are meant to test / fix functionalities, sooner or later these introduced issues will be fixed by a newer Beta... just be patient; I see the development is active.
