DM15 - disappointed, angry?

I’ve got back into music in a huge way, and was incredibly excited at the prospect of the DM15. I received it today and within 20 minutes of using it, I realised tracks were consistently skipping.

To begin with I thought “eh, maybe it’s a bad disc” so I switched it out for a brand new CD. It still skips!

I remember buying a budget discman type thing in 08 for about £30 that didn’t skip once!

To add to this, I find it really, really disingenuous of all these paid off YouTubers singing praises for the device, but when you go into the community, it’s clear the problem is affecting most people.

I also don’t care how good it sounds (incredible btw) if it can’t do the main thing it exists to do. It fails to be something that will play CDs. I don’t think this is at all a defensible product.

Lastly: I was and was intending to use this device flat on a desk. There were no vibrations, no shocks and bumps.

Linux Performance

Was there ever a fix for the worse performance on Linux vs windows? On my i7 machine with a battle mage you, it’s full speed on Windows, but about a 3rd less on Linux with Cachey.
