    I have 3 suggestions (A,B and C) for a future update.

    A
    Currently, the input choice requires 3 steps and 3 buttons:
    1 Access the inputs menu
    2 Choose your entry USB-B or USB-C or Coax or Optic or BT
    3 validate the choice.

    It's not ergonomic at all. One step/one button would be nice.
    See my drawing.
    The remote button should automatically go to the next input,
    1->2->3->4->5 and return at the beginning (a loop), with temporay
    windows information about input.

    B
    Volume remote control
    A long press should raise or lower the volume linear in time
    A short press, raise or lower the sound by steps.
    It's not ergonomic to press 20 times to lower the volume.

    C
    The text remains lit above and below the vu meters is not pretty and
    it's not useful.
    When an entry is selected, the written indications should remain for 10
    seconds and then disappear.
    Only the vu-meters, it's pretty.
    There might be a settings in the menu:
    Temporary texts or permanent texts

    What do you think ?

    Best regards from France
    Sorry for my bad English. I'm French

    --------------------------------------

    J'ai 3 suggestions (A, B et C) pour une future mise à jour.

    A
    Actuellement, il faut 3 étapes et 3 boutons pour choisir sa source :
    1 Accéder au menu des entrées
    2 Choisissez votre entrée USB-B ou USB-C ou Coax ou Optique ou BT
    3 valider le choix.

    Ce n'est pas du tout ergonomique. 1 étape/1 bouton serait mieux.
    Voir mon dessin.
    Le bouton de la télécommande doit passer automatiquement à l'entrée suivante,
    1->2->3->4->5 et retour au début (une boucle), avec information temporaire de l'entrée choisie.

    B
    Télécommande de volume
    Un appui long devrait augmenter ou diminuer le volume de façon linéaire.
    Un appui court, monte ou baisse le son par paliers.
    Ce n'est pas ergonomique d'appuyer 20 fois pour baisser (ou monter) le volume.

    C
    Le texte reste allumé dessus et dessous les vu-mètres ce n'est pas joli (à mon goût) et
    ce n'est pas utile.
    Lorsqu'une entrée est sélectionnée, les indications écrites doivent rester pendant 10
    secondes puis disparaissent.
    Rien que les vu-mètres, c'est joli.
    Il peut y avoir un paramètre dans le menu : Textes temporaires ou textes permanents

    Qu'en pensez-vous ?

    Meilleures salutations de France
    Désolé pour mon mauvais anglais. Je suis Français (mais je me soigne !)

    Thanks for your feedback. All these changes have been implemented in the new firmware v1.0.0.45

    Yes I saw ! I'm so glad you listened and happy to use the Z8. If I find a fault with it, I will contact you, but I don't think that will be necessary, it seems perfect!

    ------------------------------

    Oui, j'ai vu ! je suis tellement content de votre écoute et heureux d'utiliser le Z8. Si je lui trouve un défaut, je vous contact, mais je crois que cela ne sera pas nécessaire, il semble parfait !

    For some reason since updating to 1.0.0.45,when I press the off (standby) button using the remote, the player seems to go into standby but seconds later it turns back on again. Only way to actually put it to sleep is to press front button. Has only done this since updating. Anyone know what's going on here please?

    Yes me too, my Z8 restarts after I turn it off with the remote

    ---------------

    Pareil chez moi. Il se rallume tout seul.

    For the next update, it's possible to have only Vumeters (without text) ?
    Have a nice day

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pour la prochaine mise à jour, il est possible d'avoir uniquement des Vumètres (sans texte)
    Merci beaucoup

    Hello and happy new year!!

    I have an important suggestion for the next update

    In order to use the volume control of an external preamp you must add for each audio output
    1 option: variable volume control
    2 option: volume control fixed at 100% (you can no longer use the volume button)

    This exists on many DACs.

    I am waiting for your answer.
    I hope this request can be added to the next firmware.

    The specifications of the ES9038Pro indicate the variable volume at 0 db equivalent to a fixed output. But it's a good idea to bypass the volume.
    Personally, I set the volume to 75% on the Z8 and use my amp's remote to turn it up or down.
    The advantage, if I am far from the remote control of my amp, I can increase with the 25% on the Z8 (using the android app on my smartphone).
    And cut (or lower) if I receive a phone call (the app is very well done)

    -------------------------------

    Les spécifications du ES9038Pro indiquent le volume variable à 0 db équivalent à une sortie fixe. Mais c'est une bonne idée de shunter le bouton de volume.
    Personnellement, je règle le volume à 75% sur le Z8 et j'utilise la télécommande de mon ampli pour le monter ou le baisser.
    L'avantage, si je suis loin de la télécommande de mon ampli, je peux augmenter avec les 25% laissés sur le Z8 (en utilisant l'application android sur mon smartphone).
    Et couper (ou baisser) si je reçois un appel téléphonique (l'appli est très bien faite)

    Oui on peut faire comme ca.
    Mais l'option est intéressante car cela evite aussi une erreur manipulation du volume sur le dac si on utilise le volume d'un preampli externe.

    ------------------------------
    Yes we can do that.
    But the option is interesting because it also avoids a volume manipulation error on the dac if the volume of an external preamp is used.

    Me too although I control all my devices via my Harmony Elite Hub and its Remote.

    I just watched theHarmony Elite Hub
    Very interesting. Currently my Z8 is connected to a Revolt (moxalain/revolt.html) which puts in "power on" another non-remote controllable element of my chain.
    Except that since the Z8 bug which turns on by itself, it's a mess (but it doesn't matter, everything will be back to normal)
    I have a question about Harmony Elite Hub. How do I control my amplifier whose remote control is IR if I'm not in the same room ?
    My office is on the mezzanine. Too far away.
    The receiver of the amp should be wifi or bluetooth, right. Not ?

    Hello everybody.
    2023 with peace and music.

    I tried the VU meters without writing but ... there are still some!
    My initial wish (and still valid) is to have only the VU meters. Really without writing. As in the photo.
    And, additional wish of luxury, since one gains place in top and bottom... why not enlarge the vu-meters !?

    Have a nice day
    -----------------------------------
    Bonjour tout le monde. 2023 avec paix et musique.
    J'ai essayé les VU mètres sans écrire mais... il y en a quand même !
    Mon souhait initial (et toujours valable) est de n'avoir que les VU-mètres. Vraiment sans écriture. Comme sur la photo.
    Et, souhait supplémentaire de luxe ... puisqu'on gagne de la place en haut et en bas ... pourquoi ne pas agrandir les vu-mètres !?

    Musicalement votre Z8 vu meter.jpg

    That would be good as I sit 3 meters away from my Z8 :)
