    Astell&Kern Launches KANN ALPHA Digital Audio Player

    I'm still having some problems, but thanks for trying to help. I've also come across another issue where sometimes album tracks are in the wrong order, despite me editing the metadata so that it should be displayed in the right order. I don't know what that's about.

    Astell&Kern Launches KANN ALPHA Digital Audio Player

    How do I rebuild the database? How do I scan my SD card?

    Astell&Kern Launches KANN ALPHA Digital Audio Player

    I am a new owner of the Kann Alpha and I'm generally really happy with it everything, like sound and UI and so on. I have one problem, though; quite often it skips tracks and displays the message "Unplayable music has been moved". Which is weird because it happens randomly and with any kind of...

    Best DAP? Astell&Kern Kann Alpha or Fiio M15

    I was able to figure that out on my own and after a few more days of use with the Kann Alpha I can say that I'm extremely satisfied. Not a single complaint I can make on this thing, except maybe that sometimes when I try to play songs the playback suddenly stops. But it's a rare and minor issue.

    Best DAP? Astell&Kern Kann Alpha or Fiio M15

    I got my Alpha today and I'm not sure what verdict to give it. The UI is a lot clunkier than it was on my Sony Walkman and I had to convert all my .wav files to .flac because of issues with metadata, but aside from that I'm pretty damned happy with this. I don't know if the UI is smoother or not...

    Best DAP? Astell&Kern Kann Alpha or Fiio M15

    Not yet. I'm in Sweden and it's from China via AliExpress, so I don't know when I'll be getting it but we're probably a couple of weeks away.

    Best DAP? Astell&Kern Kann Alpha or Fiio M15

    I'm afraid I can't offer much of an answer but I decided to go with the Kann Alpha 'cause it was a bit cheaper and when comparing what people said about the M15 compared to the Kann Alpha, it just seemed more people were satisfied with the latter, unless I misunderstand. Hard to know if you...

    Best DAP? Astell&Kern Kann Alpha or Fiio M15

    I'm not sure. I've heard that both use restrited or old versions of Android where you can't access the google play store, but there may have been firmware updates and if anyone wants to correct me, go ahead. Either way, the fact that both of these have support for Tidal in some fashion means I...

    Best DAP? Astell&Kern Kann Alpha or Fiio M15

    Hello. I've been thinking of getting a new DAP when I have money in the near future, but I'm kinda stuck on which one to get, but my main interests are Astell&Kern Kann Alpha or the Fiio M15. I'm mostly asking because it's been a bit hard to find a lot of reviews for the Kann Alpha. I've heard...

    Good Home Listening Headphones for Walkman NW-ZX507?

    Well, I tend to use the cable with my H9i, but still, thanks for clarifying. I think I've decided to get the HE-35X and maybe later down the line get a balanced cable for it. So thanks for the help!

    Good Home Listening Headphones for Walkman NW-ZX507?

    This clears some things up for me, but where I'm a little confused is that I got the adapter because the audio wasn't distributed evenly (one side sounds louder than the other) with one 3.5mm cable I got from Ali Express (unofficial) and another one I got from eBay (official) and the sound with...

    Good Home Listening Headphones for Walkman NW-ZX507?

    Hey, this is super helpful so thanks. As for that adapter, I haven't experienced any problems yet despite using it for at least a couple of months, but if you're correct and it could damage my Walkman I'll try to be more careful, so thanks again.

    Good Home Listening Headphones for Walkman NW-ZX507?

    Well, from what I know the high gain setting doesn't exist on EU devices. I hear it might be possible to circumvent this by rooting the device but that voids the warranty, I think. Maybe a DAC or some kind of amp is a better investment that I'll try to save up some money for. I'm still getting...

    Good Home Listening Headphones for Walkman NW-ZX507?

    Hello. I'm not necessarily new to this whole audiophile thing but some of the technical stuff is a bit hard for me to understand, which is why I'm making this thread to ask for help with a thing. I have a Sony Walkman NW-ZX507, which I'm very happy with overall, aside from one little thing...
