Astell & Kern Junior (AK Jr.) Impressions Thread
Oct 21, 2016 at 9:02 AM Post #2,731 of 3,321
I've got a question if anyone is willing. I'm choosing between the AK JR and the Ipod Touch 6th Generation. I imagine the Ipod Touch wins on UI. I'm also tempted because I can use it with a Tidal subscription.On the other hand, I don't need to convert flac files to ALAC w/ the AK JR. But What do you think about the sound quality? I did a quick search through this thread, but didn't read any pros/cons regarding sound quality. Personally, the dream dap has a replaceable battery... but oh well. 


Have u considered ak70? Offers tidal support and good UI

Is it possible to connect the Junior to an iPhone/iPad via a lightning to USB cable to function as an external DAC? I can't seem to find any info online and I also don't want to waste money on a lightning-USB cable if it's not possible.

I don't think so. I tried doing the same with my old Note 3 (which worked with my Fiio dac/amps) but got no audio. The Jr's dac barely works with Mac and Windows despite what the official specs say.
