Reluctantly selling what is honestly one of my favourite bits of portable audio kit, as i just don't use it enough after getting an Alo CDM. Imparts a beautiful analogue sound and dynamics, with lovely staging and just a hint of grit, to iems. Battery still lasts for ages. Beautifully made, and...

Hi ałl. Am trying to decide if the SA700 would be a worthy upgrade from my Shanling M6. I listen to a mixture of Hi Res and some streaming (Tidal, Spotify). In terms of SQ and user experience, is this going to be a noticeable step up? Thanks!

Hi, has anyone got an arrow they'd be willing to part with? I owned one ages ago and sold it, but have a hankering for one again, for portable use... 🙂

Brilliant, thank you for the tip, I'll pick some up p🙂

This is incredibly helpful, thanks! Do you know what the specification of the CDM charging port is? Is it a standard 3.5mm? Can't seem to find it written down anywhere...

This is really great intel, at least as a possible last resort. I've also ordered a (much cheaper) 12.6v 1a charger, but my fear is that the connector will be wrong for the CDM (it looks slightly too big in the picture...) Will let you know. I agreeb with yky that not knowing when the CDM is...

Will be interesting to hear. My understanding from this thread and other sources is that you you need a charger for li-io batteries, not an actual charger for the device. 12.6v, 1.5a, I don't know about the size of the plug into the device, if it's standard or proprietary. I've also emailed ALO...

Hey! Has anyone figured out a feasible replacement charger for the CDM? I've temporarily mislaid mine and want to have a back up.

I've never heard the Pure but I've owned the original Duo for years. I absolutely love it, but I wouldn't really recommend it for what you're planning. For portable power and SQ the vorzuge amps are hard to beat, but for the money for a desktop or even transportable amp I think you'll get a...

I'm still pretty fond of the sound that comes out of my CT10, it's better than my Sony Xperia 1iii smartphone from the HO, so it's not entirely obsolete as a device i wouldn't say. On the other hand the abject battery life and the tiny screen are definite friction points. I'm curious to know...

If still of interest, I owned the WA8 a while back and have recently managed to get my hands on the CDM. Here are some very unscientific thoughts on the two: the WA8 was an utterly impulsive pandemic purchase, and i absolutely loved the sound quality, esp. on 3 tube configuration with full sized...

Hi all, if anyone (ideally but not necessarily in the EU) has a CV5 they'd ve willing to part with, please do let me know! Thanks!

Thinking to pick up the R6 Pro, fot mixed iem and can use. How bothersome is the high noise floor for sensitive iems like the CA Andromeda S, which is my daily driver? Thanks!

Quick question - is the original Kann a viable option in 2022 if you plan to use it only for music from an SD card (and you get it for a seriously reduced price?). Barring Tidal compatibility, which isn't a live issue for me, are there other gremlins to watch out for? I currently own an Activo...

Ok, thanks for the reply. Let me know once you've made your decision 😊
