ZIDOO NEO A - NEO X - NEO S

Of course not Olivier

 

Cool and I have nothing against you, but it's always better to have an official message if I have to talk about it on other forums, this is my opinion.

 

Thanks for all the info, I have now managed to do FFT from my mac, its nearly as quick uploading as a usb3 drive ! Iam not bothered about changing for a larger drive just yet because of FFT being so easy and quick for adding and removing. Sorted the clock now so very pleased indeed. Once Iam happy with burn in I will compare my internal files with spotify / jriver streaming, like for like , and see where that goes.

 

Further note on SSD replacement - the metal shield between the power supplies and motherboards sits slightly over the SSD module so has to be raised in order to remove the SSD - it sits in runners cut into the side panels, so just slides up:





And for those interested, it does have a TTL UART socket on the motherboard:

 

Hello Mark,

Thanks for all these pictures.

Can I use them on other forums?

The shield seems to be in plastic ? I'm not an expert but it should not be in metal ?

 

As you and Nice Monkey said, the layout of the electronic components is very neat.

it's as beautiful on the outside as on the inside

 

Yes of course.

The shield is metal - judging by the weight I'd say painted aluminium.

 

Thanks Mark,

Ok great, on the picture it looked like black plastic to me

 

Is there any internal fuses?

 

Not internal, no - there is a fuse on the incoming mains supply accessible on the back panel.

 

Good , thanks.

 

Any update on the Roon certification process?

 

Roon ready for UHD3000 will be soon.

 

Whats so good about Roon anyway ?

 

I couldn’t find the change list but here is what Zidoo support said:
Hello. Sir
We are working on this.
UHD 3000 has roon certified two days ago, Neo S and Neo X will get it soon and they should have this certified together.

 

so,how about the progress of neo x & neo s passing roon cetifaction?
