Astell & Kern Junior (AK Jr.) Impressions Thread
Yep...had that here, too. Couldn't pin it on any specific format/quality, though. Same problems with the DAC obviously, which is a shame...but i never bought it for that. Would be nice to have working...but instead they just shouldn't have bothered putting a DAC into the Jr at all. Linux and...- ChristopherP

Astell & Kern Junior (AK Jr.) Impressions Thread
It can take a good 3+ hours to charge for me. The display will change to say "Fully charged" or - if it's turned on - the little battery will turn a solid orange.- ChristopherP

Review: Estron Linum BaX --- New IEM Cable for a New Age
Not too much to know :) It is more tangly than other cables, so storage can become interesting. Keeping the plug and phones away from the bundle of cable inbetween usually helps... Soundwise - to my ears - they mainly helped with overall clarity. I didn't do too much testing back and forth... -

JH Audio & Astell&Kern Siren Series Full Metal Jacket Line Announced!
Thanks for linking that video! So that sounds like the Rosie will basically be the universal fit version of the new JH13 v2 custom (and vice versa). Makes me think more and more about upgrading my 5yr old 13s with the new version... :)- ChristopherP

Astell & Kern Junior (AK Jr.) Impressions Thread
10hours 10hours sound about right in my experience as well. I use it daily on my commute and for varying lengths of time in the office. It basically lasts all day, although sometimes i have to charge it for a bit before going home. Recharge time from almost-empty is about 2hours i'd say...- ChristopherP

Astell & Kern Junior (AK Jr.) Impressions Thread
I just tried a few DSD64 songs and it seems to work fine here. What's interesting, though, is that you can see the little Jr struggling quite a bit playing those :) . The whole UI is way more sluggish/slideshow-y than usual...- ChristopherP

Moon Audio Reviews
i received my balanced silver dragons for my JH13s (terminated to XLR with 1/8" and SR71B-adapters) and my LCD-2 (terminated to balanced SR71B) yesterday. build quality is excellent, as is the sound quality. communication was always extremely fast and helpful also. nothing to complain...- ChristopherP
