    New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000

    I can't connect to wifi at all. Message says check my connection - my connection is fine on all other devices I use. Will doing a settings reset erase my playlists? Thanks.

    ZMF Verite Closed - Headphone Amp

    Thanks for that. I listen to rock music mostly, don't use Tidal. I'm happy enough with what I've got, it's just that a few people on here have suggested that using a headphone amp (just amp, not the DAC) I could squeeze out a bit extra. As you have said, my gear probably does exceed my ability...

    ZMF Verite Closed - Headphone Amp

    Just got the ZMF VC and they sound great from my SP2000, but I do have to increase the volume to 125 -130. But will a headphone amp actually improve them?. The VC is my first quality headphones (been using iems to date) so I have no experience of the merits of a separate amp. Any views?

    Astell&Kern new flagship A&Ultima SP2000

    I am not technical at all so don't understand all this type of stuff. But Zach did say the SP2000 can drive the VC so I guess I will take him at his word.

    Astell&Kern new flagship A&Ultima SP2000

    I emailed Zach about this and ne said "it (the SP2000) absolutely can drive it fine! The v closed only needs about 80 to 100mW at 300 ohms to sound great so you'll get plenty of volume."

    Astell&Kern new flagship A&Ultima SP2000

    "I have A&K SP1000 and just received my verite Closed, and.... obviously the VC is underpowered by the SP1000 (volume level is OK, but sound is congested and soundstage colapsed ! :frowning2: . While it sound wonderful out of my desktop tube amp ED445.) So... I am hesitating between getting the...

    ZMF Verite Closed or Focal Stellia - Help me decide.

    I currently have iems - Empire Ears Legend X but am thinking of selling them to help fund either the ZMF or Focal. Without getting too much into IEM v Headphone debate (I just can't seem to get a comfortable fit in my ear with the LX and worry a bit about damaging my hearing). If anyone has...

    IEMs or Headphones?

    Oppo PM3s might be a good compromise without spending the earth, Got some great reviews. Thanks for the tip.

    IEMs or Headphones?

    Thanks. From what I can gather from reviews, closed back headphones will also be less annoying to people on the train on my way to work!

    IEMs or Headphones?

    Thanks for the replies. I've got the A&K SP2000 so I will have to read the reviews if I go for headphones. The Empire Legend X are good for bass, but I am left wondering if headphones will be even better (I'm a bit of a bit of a basshead!). Guess there's no substitute for getting down to a...

    IEMs or Headphones?

    I have always used IEMs and currently have Empire Ears Legend X, which I am very happy with. But I'm tempted to sell these and go for the ZMF Verite Closed. I'm not very technical but, in simple terms, would a good pair of headphones sound better than an equivalently priced iem?

    A&K SP1000 problem with Tags

    My new SP1000 has 58 albums where the Artist is listed as 'Unknown'. The artist is definitely in the Tag. I've synced with JRIver Media Player; reset the player and drag and dropped files from Explorer, but the problem persists. I can't fathom what the problem is and it is a nuisance when a...

    Any SP1000 owners out there who can help?

    Hi just got the SP1000. Coming from the Sony ZX2, which was easy to navigate, I am a little confused how to select an album, under 'Artists'. After selecting an album this way, the next screen shows the tracks but I can't play the album. How do you do this? Also, 64 of my albums show as...
