Hi everyone.. I recently purchased via ebay a almost mint 4308 froma a guy that had his unit in storage for 8 years so basicly has had very little use.
I purchased it to replace my possibly faulty Denon X4100W.
Everything absolutely works on the 4308 and having this unit for now a month it completely trumps over my X4100W from 2015. The DACS on the 4308 are nothing short of absolutely outstanding! I listen to alot of 2-channal music using pure direct mode and the 4308 despite being a much older unit has impressed me so much takes me back to the days of my Denon 3805 realy does.
Anyways... I have everything working perfectly even Internet HD radio work perfectly with WiFi.
However I can't seem to get the unit to read the FLAC files from my USB stick.
Iv formatted it to FAT32 using the full format command not the "quick format". It's a 32GB Samsung drive. So I have copied over several albums in Hi-Res 24bit/96hrz albums these are the Blu-ray edition.
Rush - Moving Pictures
Rush - Signals
Beatles - Srgt Pepper
Beatles - Abbey Road
The 4803 reads the stick perfectly fine I have opted to use the rear USB socket instead of the front. I go into the menus and it reads all the tracks perfectly so that means the flash stick is working. However as soon as I go to play those tracks which are all FLAC so their should be no issue with the AMP seeing and reading those files it goes to read them and just comes back with "FILE FORMAT ERROR".
What I'm I doing incorrectly here.
I get a perfectly good network connection to my router via the WiFi anyway. And I have been playing Internet HD Radio for a while now all via WiFi and it buffers and plays back fairly fast.
I have a Denon Blu-Ray 3313UD Blu-ray player and I have some physical Yes Albums in Blu-ray hires formats. I use 2 HDMI cables from the Blu-ray player one for the picture and one for sounds as the Denon 3313ud player has a pure direct mode which I use.
So when I play back those Yes Blu-Ray Albums the 4308 does acknowledge DTS-HD Master and plays them back absolutely brilliantly via HDMI cable to the AMP.
So any ideas... The manual does state it will okay back FLAC, AAC, MP3 ect.
