Hello, I've inquired before in other forums, and it seems I'm not the only one with this issue: Trying to copy files from my mac computer to the attached SSD in the DMP-A8. Everything works, but it is ***painfully*** slow. From PC (which I don't have access to most times), it is fast as expected. But from MacOS, it takes 10x the time. Any ideas as to why this happening? And if there is a solution? Thanks! (dmp-a8, imac are both wired connection to my network)
Have you tried a direct usb connection between computer and A8, use the top OTG port and setting for PC connection , this should be faster than a networked connection ?
Mac does not connect with Android, for this is some software necessary but I don't know which one. Just tried it with a Windows box, but also not the best, because of performance, in my case 30-80 MB/sek slow and made problems with the sync tool FreeFileSync (many errors ... I abortet the test). In my case the best solution is a external SSD which for updates I connect directly to the Mac and Forklift does the job with much better performance. I stay with this.
I use Finder>connect to server: smb://(IP of Ax) in MacBook Pro when MacBook and Ax are on the same network. When a window popup, log in as guest. SSD will show in desktop.
New A8 owner here. Network transfer from MacOS to the internal M2 NVMe I installed is painfully slow. Can transfer to other devices on the network at higher multiples. Is there a firmware fix for this? Attaching a FAT32 external USB drive works but is cumbersome. I have over 40k tracks on the SSD gettign to the directory to load new CD rips is slow either way. Please fix this. I add 5-10 new CD's a month. The Eversolo is far worse than BluOS or Roon.
Transferring music files over wi-fi is almost always a pain (unless they are MP3s, of course). Although cumbersome, using an external HDD is a clean and fast (well, ehm... faster) solution. Curious, though, that you add a new CD every three days or so, on a regular basis... I usually add one every month, at most...
