After two years of using the player, do you find any problems related to Bluetooth or build quality?

@@ghiocadrian7399 Well 4.0 is an old version of bluetooth but such a small amount of delay won't be much of an issue. The build quality did look quite sturdy enough. I actually plan on buying this model and will use it on both manual and bluetooth connection

I just made a video yesterday on my surfans F20 ruclips.net/video/RipNnaWTNU4/видео.html but over the last 2 years its held up great. You can see in the video. I should add im very hard on electronics - tossing in backpacks, dropping off scooters and you can see some scratches on the screen. If I was to buy a new one I may put a screen protector on it but after 2 years it works great including blutooth.

Hi,can f20 support native dsd in usb dac mode?
I use it with foobar and installed dsd plugin,but when play any dsd music ,the sound just come in pcm mode and silence in dsd mode.

Theres allot of confusion in DSF vs DSD. DSD is the commercial name for digital audio encoded with 1 bit at sampling frequencies that are multiples of 2.8MHz. There are two major file formats that store DSD audio: DFF (i.e. DSD Interchange File Format, or DSDIFF) and DSF (i.e. DSD Stream File). Im not sure about the "native dsd usb mode". I would just try it and see. I have experienced Super Audio Cds ripped in DSD may not work.
Also You can play back a DSF or DFF file without conversion on a DAC that supports DSD, either natively or as DoP. If the DAC doesn’t support DSD, audio will be converted to PCM. This conversion is not lossless, since there is down-sampling involved (from 2.8MHz down to say 352.8kHz). Conversion from PCM to DSD is also not lossless, since that involves up-sampling and bit reduction to 1 bit.
So allot could cause it to not work but I would just try and see.
