Howdy,

Last night, I bought the full version of Poweramp for my M21.

I have been enjoying the interface.

It is more visually appealing than the Fiio media player.

I use primarily use Sennheiser HD 599 SE headphones for playback.

While experimenting with Poweramp last night, I noticed that I had to turn the volume up to 60, just to get it close to level 30 volume on the Fiio media player app. This was alarming.

Could someone please explain why this is?

I do not want to damage my hearing by using faulty settings in Poweramp.

If someone could please recommend a good Poweramp tutorial for newbies, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Howdy,

I have a SANDISK 256GB Ultra Luxe USB 3.1 Gen 1 Flash Drive. I primarily use it to watch 1080p/4K video via an extension cable connected to the USB Port on my Samsung 2024 S90D 4K TV. I have noticed that video freezes from time to time. If I formatted the drive would that resolve the issue? I should mention that there is an archive of thousands of family photos on the drive. Would this cause issues with the file system?

I have several of these drives and the rest of them play video without any issues.

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

I received my M21 on Thursday morning. I'm loving it.
I wanted to buy a FiiO HS7 Hard Carrying Case for it.

However, this case is no longer being manufactured.

Could someone please recommend a similar replacement?

Thanks!

Howdy,

I am a PlayStation guy.

I have never played a Forza game, although I have wanted to for a long time.
I've noticed that Forza Horizon 5 Premium is available on the PS Store for $50.

I know that Forza 6 is the latest game in the series.

However, I realize the PlayStation port is at least 1-2 years away.

Is Forza Horizon 5 Premium worth $50?

Does the Premium version of the game include EVERYTHING or is there still more DLC to buy? I'm not up for grinding for hours to unlock items and I won't spend money on VC.

I realize this is an older game to XBOX/PC players.
To someone like me, Forza 5 Premium on my PS5 Pro would be a brand new experience. The game looks like a lot of FUN!

I should admit that I didn't enjoy Gran Turismo 7. It was too much of a simulation and not very fun. Although, I LOVE arcade racers.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I've rediscovered my X5-2. I use the official USB cable to recharge using an old Samsung white USB power adapter and it takes a long time to recharge. Would using a generic rapid charger damage the battery of the X5-2? Any feedback would be appreciated.

I've rediscovered my 2015 X5 - 2nd Gen on Friday and have been really enjoying it.

The sound quality along with the use of wired headphones/earphones I've experimented with this weekend blow away my modern Bluetooth setup.

I have been using my Galaxy smartphone/Lenovo P3 tablet and Shokz Pro 2 BT headphones as my DAP setup for several years.

I'm considering getting an M21 for the BT functionality and further improved sound quality.
Would the improvement in sound quality be dramatically noticeable over the X5 2nd gen?

Another question I have is: would using a "rapid charger" AC adapter to charge the X5-2 damage the battery?

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

I bought Crossworlds for $30 during the Black Friday sales. I've been waiting for the season pass to go on sale. The digital deluxe version of Crossworlds is $45. I'm tempted to double dip. I assume the pass won't be discounted until a few months after all the DLC is released. What would you do? Thanks!

I've just received the Back To The Future - Ultimate Visual History book from a third party seller on Amazon - pathnme. I'm in the USA.

The ISBN is 9798337403601. I ordered the 40th Anniversary edition of the book for $36, which seemed too good to be true.

The MRSP is $50 and the publication date listed is 2020. 
It must be the 35th Anniversary edition.

The book was manufactured in China, which seems like a red flag. 

Could the book I received be considered counterfeit?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! is my favorite NES game and Super Punch-Out!! is my favorite SNES game. I never had a Wii and have only played 2009 Punch-Out!! a few times via emulation.

My Switch 2 has been collecting dust for months.

I'm a PlayStation guy who was caught up in the Switch 2 hype one year ago.

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out 2 exclusively on the Switch 2 has a nice ring to it.
Tyson has rehabilitated his image since his downfall in the 1990's.
Iron Mike is synonymous with boxing. I could see Nintendo working with Tyson again.

I dream that Mike Tyson Punch-Out 2 is released for the Switch 2 sometime this decade. If a new Punch-Out!! is released for the Switch 2, my Switch 2 would go from a paperweight to my most played console...
