Does this play AIFF files downloaded from HD Tracks? What home device/player will play these files? Thank you!

Thanks for your question. .AIFF tracks, the Apple equivalent of the Windows .WAV file format will not play on this device. The intent of downloading these files is really to play them directly from your computer through a Digital to Analog converter, and then through your audio system There are free programs that you can download such as Media Monkey and Foobar2000 that will facilitate playing these files from your computer. This is a fantastic sounding player. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Marantz dealer.

This will only play content from CD/DVD disks. If the disk says "blue-ray" (which is popular for new HD movies) this won't play it! You will need to look for a player that can play blue-ray disks.

You can playback directly from the device. I have uploaded through USB and off the SD Card.

Though this one says media player I would not recommend it. It will not recognize or play all media files. It was extremely disappointed. You would be better off with either of the next two models up $50-70$ or 70$-100$ price range. I have had not problems with any files since making the upgrade.

Yes, it plays both file types. However, I would suggest you look further for an all region player. My experience with this was not good. The remote stopped working after only a couple of weeks of use. The player works, but without the remote it is very inconvenient. At least it was cheap.

The best answer I have is to make sure the audio files are in the proper format for your storage card. If they arr make sure they actually play on th computer, if thry do not play on the computer obviously they wont play on the device. Otherwise most likely the storage card isnt a match.

Not sure about ape files but definitely flac and apple lossless. Other then dsd files (this can't play) not sure why you would want any other file

Looks to me like there is no way to have the files play from the SD card by default. This is a major flaw, one of many.

It is called an MP4 player,but I never could get it to play MP4 files. In fact I had so many issues with this device that it went into the trash. I hope you have better luck.

Check out the Pono Store !! Also, they let you buy individual tracks (HDTracks does not!!)

I'm using aiff mac files and some standard iTunes files and have no problem but, idid find it challenging to import files. if found it easier to drop and drag files to a pre added named folder. i love the ability to hear high quality music file. its worth the hassle to me. you can hear things that you could not conventionally. i never liked low grade mp3 files. sounds terrible. for me its worth it to revisit old tunes at this qua lit. might even get the x5 for more navigation control. hope you find your answer and this response was useful to anyone. good luck.

I'll plug in my external hard drive and see. My only concern would be the slower USB 2.0 port. I have a 3 terabyte drive inside the AIOS and I play Blu-ray iso files all the time. I'll rip a disk to folders instead and put it on the portable drive that will connect via the front USB port. I'm copying a set of Blu-ray files to the player today, so I'll see how well it works versus .iso.

Sorry, I don't have HD cable, and it's not the greatest player and was overpriced for what it does! I would look around for something better.

Yes, it will play flv files. you will need a player app that plays flv files. There are many available from Play Store.

Try VLC, open source player. Most everything plays. No extra codecs necessary. Get the Audiodock for Duo; hear it better.
