This player is great! I love how versatile the EQ is and the Featured EQs (I use Scott Ian's). It's awesome that it plays lossless audio codecs, I haven't seen many players that do that. But there are a few issues - I'm having trouble with app putting music in the main search tabs. For instance I just added a new album to my phone but I can't find it under the artist, albums, and songs tabs, but if I go to the folder tab I can search though my SD card and find the new album. Also it's very slow to react when you play, pause, or advance the next track. For such an expensive media player I expect much better performance.

The features, functionality, and interface of the app are good. However, as other reviews have also stated, it screws up the volume level when the app starts/restarts. This happens with both my Fiio K1 and Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt. With the latter's 2.1V output, the volume reset to max problem of the app just blows my ears off! I cannot live that fault. Therefore, I jad no choice and refunded the purchase.

Huh seems we have some consent issues with Android/Apache applying my sound mastering to a few tracks I made. Has the great 'select headphone' feature but when clicking on the 'web helper' link Google LLC states 'non secure'. But when selecting Lic. info within the app, the now 15-20 yr old 'licenses' no security issues. Will look forward to credit/payment on next build. 11-29-23 update works now but not registered properly which is Google LLCs issue.
