It sent it back, because the guarantee period was about to end. That's customer support nowadays: RMA ticket. How do you reflash with the app?

You mean trying period?

 

[brtsch]

Yes.

You'd just go through the process again. Could have been something didn't quite stick the first time.

Did you ask for a replacement unit since it would clearly still be under warranty?

 

[brtsch]

Yes, I tried it about four times with different cables and USB ports.

Have you given up on that player or did you request a replacement?

 

[brtsch]

I asked for a replacement, but the shop is out of stock. That's why I tried to fix it. I like the sound, because it is a significant step up from the Spotify Bluetooth Signal.

Kinda glad I held off on the PL100 as it looks like SMSL has a much nicer looking player coming out soon, the PL150, and they make a big deal of true gapless playback. Not much info yet but from the limited image the styling is much better: https://www.smsl-audio.com/portal/news/detail/id/909.html

It does mention a higher price. If it’s like $120-$130 or something, I’ll jump at buying one.

Really quite amazing how responsive these companies are to internet feedback. I think I ordered mine in January not long after they came out. They’ve covered the main points that undecided buyers have been chewing over and it is only April. Any idea when it will be released?

Edited to add that if they have moved the display to the right of the slot then it appears the unit will be wider. I’m interested to find out what they’ve done there.

It’s funny how they mention the PL100’s “legacy,” as though it’s been out for years or something.

Someone on Reddit posted that they asked SMSL and were told a few weeks. Gotta wonder if tariff’s will make it much less affordable though? I’m not up to speed on the latest with that fiasco.

MQA went bust. All that symbol tells you now is that it can decode files that were MQA encoded.

The best thing about was this: "Mafia Quarantined Audio"
