HiMedia Q10 Pro, Q5 Pro / Re: Q10Pro Yet another playback problem
« on: June 12, 2016, 02:22:43 PM »
I have now got around the problem of playing DSF files, and higher resolution recordings up to 192Khz by using the free android app HibyMusic and connecting my dac via a usb cable into the Q10Pro. Initially I tried my Mytek192 dac connected this but did not work, then tried my Primare dac this worked. I think the compatibilty using this app and usb connection depends on the actual dac chip used and how it is setup by the manufacturer. The Primare I think uses an XMOS usb chip. I  tried DSF files these  played fine although as the Primare doesn't do native dsd I had to choose PCM in the HibyMusic Advanced settings which converts the dsf to PCM. Also tried SACD ISO this played to some degree but with some stutters (again this was PCM converted). All the other high resolutions eg 192Khz, 88.2Khz also worked without problems.

HiMedia Q10 Pro, Q5 Pro / Re: Planning to buy the q10pro

As a 4K or HD movie player it is excellent with superb colourful images on my Sony LCD. Easy to change audio streams,not sure about subtitles, although on the films I have played with subs no problems encountered. The main problem area for me with the Q10Pro is music playback as I don't seem to be able to play back SACD ISOs or DSFs natively, all are resampled to 48Khz. Operation is typical android player although menus are quick to open and remote is better than many similar players. Buy it if you want it for movies,music think again.

Managed to overcome the Kodi problem by uninstalling the original Kodi app and then downloading it from the Goggle Play Store and reinstalling it, and it now opens correctly. The firmware update problem though is still not sorted.

HiMedia Q10 Pro, Q5 Pro / Q10Pro Yet another playback problem
« on: June 10, 2016, 09:32:55 PM »
Having sorted out my Kodi installation I now have another playback problem. I have several 24/96 and DSF music files and was hoping to play these back natively ie. no change in fromat or sample resolution unfortunately I haven't managed to do this yet. I have my Mytek DSD192 dac connected via the sdif output(Q10Pro) and sdif input(Mytek Dac) and all my music including 24/96 and DSF files playback at 48Khz I have selected Raw and Dop in the music player but no change in actual output from the 48Khz. Can anyone help or is this just another firmware failing. I should add I had no problem playing back DSF or 24/96files via the Mytek sdif input when using a Cambridge CXN Network player and its sdif output. It really niggles me that we can have so many problems with the Q10Pro whic h in their specification outline says it will play and obviously do not do satisfactorily in the real world, do the manufacturer's ever check or test whether it works or just assume active forum group members will find work arounds for the problems.

What do I do to ensure Kodi works. Do I uninstall Kodi then reinstall it from Goggle Play Store, or is there another method. I found the system update file approx 645MB in size on the Q10Pro and tried to unzip it but the Q10 informed me it didn't recognised the file, whats happening surely it should know what this file is. As these problems  were aware to other users  someone should have sorted it out by now, it doesn't give me much reassurance for the future re updates.

Just received my Q10Pro and have tried to update system via internet, file downloads ok, click to install, system reboots, android man twirls around suggesting updating is being carried out, system opens, check the upgrade button again in settings and system still shows the old system installed and that a new update is available, carried out the above operations three times still showing update available, finally gave up. Also tried to open Kodi, warning message appears obb. missing,  exit app. These two problems are most frustrating and spoils my initial experiences with the Q10Pro. A big letdown, pity as the picture via the inbuilt mediaplayer app is very good. Before the Q10Pro I was using a Popcorn A400, much better build quality than the Q10, operates superbly, again excellent picture, pity it doesn't do the latest codecs that the Q10 does.
Can anyone suggest where I am going wrong and what I need to do.
Thanks
