    Astell&Kern, or Astell and Kern, AK PA 10 portable headphone amplifier impressions, comments, or general discussion

    Yes in the end there is a difference with the Q15 but it is subtle and I think that a lot also depends on what type of iem/headphones are connected. The use of the PA10 with other sources (dongle) largely justifies the price (personal opinion). Listening to a Lotoo PAW S2 or an EPZ TP50 with the...

    [FIIO Q15] DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Thanks for the reply... the thing that seems strange to me is that other devices don't do it. My daps do lose something but not 50%, and even the Shanling H7 that had been turned off for the same amount of time woke up with 45% of the battery remaining. I'll have to be more careful with the FiiO...

    [FIIO Q15] DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    Question for FiiO... is it possible that the Q15 consumes battery even when turned off? I left it at 50% battery in a drawer together with the smartphone I use with it (LG V50). After two months of non-use the smartphone is still at 50% battery while the Q15 has dropped to 1%. Is this all...

    Sliivo SLT6 Cable

    If you can't find the original, I got a graphene Xinhs that leaves the original kilometers behind and doesn't cost a fortune. The SLT6 deserve a better cable than the original and there aren't many who can adapt while the recessed pin version of this fits perfectly...

    I wanted to update you on my situation which, above all, thanks to the help of Mr. Lim Rui of Effect Audio, was resolved in the best possible way. In fact, I was reimbursed for the expenses I initially incurred for requesting assistance under warranty. Thanks to this refund I am happy to be able...

    I see no reason to delete your post, it is not offensive and contains a simple test that anyone can do on their own with the necessary tools and a little skill and patience. The fact that this thread doesn't have 100 pages yet, but only 13 says a lot about the situation. If the phone had...

    Look! MOONDROP's First HiFi Smartphone, MIAD01

    And this explains the strange silence on this thread... in practice the phone does not eliminate android's audio resampling (as communicated by the company and by some reckless reviewers), it is not compatible with UAPP (it does not detect the internal DAC) and It has a poor implementation on...

    Luxury & Precision (LP) W4, Successor to Their Popular W1/W2 USB Dongle is Here!

    The strange thing is that the same powerbank, when connected with the Aceele hub works perfectly with all the dongles I own... the problems arise when I connect it with Y cables (L&P WY1/CB19). However, this only happens with three dongles of all the ones I have (RU7/M15/W4) while it works well...

    Luxury & Precision (LP) W4, Successor to Their Popular W1/W2 USB Dongle is Here!

    Has anyone tried using the W4 with the Luxury&Precision WY1 cable? When I connect it to the powerbank the W4 restarts continuously, while if I connect it to the same powerbank via the Aceele hub this does not happen. Do you have any idea what it could be? Thank you.

    Astell&Kern, or Astell and Kern, AK PA 10 portable headphone amplifier impressions, comments, or general discussion

    If you're looking for a single, complete machine, the H7 is definitely superior... but the Q15 with the PA10 is superior. In terms of tonality, detail rendering and general quality they are similar, but the amplification of the H7 is superior, so in the end the sound of the H7 is richer and more...

    Astell&Kern, or Astell and Kern, AK PA 10 portable headphone amplifier impressions, comments, or general discussion

    In my opinion, no portable amplifier can bring out the best from the HEK Stealth and it's not just a question of power, but everyone can drive them. I tested them with the H7 (1300 mw), with the AK PA10 (1890 mw), with the iBasso DX220MAX (1900 mw), with the Venture Electronics RA2BFE (3000 mw)...

    Simple... because on its own it's a 350 euro amp/dac that sounds like a 700/800 euro dap, while with the AK PA10 it's a system that costs less than 1k euros and sounds like a 3k/4k euro DAP.

    For those who own and love the Q15 I advise you to think about purchasing an AK PA10... together they reach incredible heights!!! Using the excellent line out of the Q15 to equip it with the enhanced amplification of the Astell&Kern SP3000 (Class A - Teraton Alpha) is a very wise thing to do. ;)

    Some considerations on the use of the Q15 alone... it is certainly an excellent device with a sound that is enough and more than enough to make 90% of users happy and considering its price it can certainly be defined as a bargain without any doubt. Having said this, a direct comparison with the...

    [FIIO Q15] DAC and Headphone Amplifier Discussion & Impressions Thread

    I noticed that the Q15 has the volume that increases exponentially and not linearly like the H7... in fact at the beginning it seemed much less powerful... Let's say that where the H7 makes the SLIIVO SL-T6s sound with 27- 30 volume at Q15 requires 47-50 (desktop mode).

    Sorry for the stupid question, but when you only want to charge the Q15 (without listening to it) which of the two USB ports should the charger/powerbank be connected to? Thank you.

    Look! MOONDROP's First HiFi Smartphone, MIAD01

    The Amazon HD app on all Android devices is unable to route the data flow directly to the DAC which is therefore resampled by Android and in fact during playback it reads 48kz (Android resampling and consequent loss of bit perfect). If Moondrop managed to bypass this resampling, the Amazon HD...
