I follow the guide, but when I'm about to inject the firmware, I open the file, the program just closes and nothing happens? I've tried with and without all antivirus enabled. Also tried on Windows 10 installation and Windows 11. Same thing happens. Anyone know how I might be able to fix it? Having some issues, for example windows audio doesn't afect audio levels, plus audio starts only after a short delay when doing playback of stuff.

Recently got into planar iem's and headphones, got an artti t10 last week but my Abigail can't seem to drive it well(have to push it a bit to get listenable volume) and it sounds different when I compared it to a 7hz 71 which I have on hand(loaner) idk why but the soundstage seems better on the 71(maybe placebo idk).

So, started to search for a good "portable" DAC and stumbled upon this and was gonna order one like 30 mins ago that's when I stumbled upon one of the reviews on reddit talking about the thing being bricked and various other issue's. So my question is that did Fiio fix it or should I pick up something else. FYI I might get an HE400 or Deva pro if they comeback in stock(local vendor).
