Thank you! My technical competencies needs some serious update... :-) Syncing JRiver software and AK120 proved to be a piece of cake. Just erase everything on the AK120 before syncing to avoid having 2 files of everything... *sigh* P.s. Playlists not showing up as expected...

Just upgraded JRiver til version 19 (something) and AK120 firmware to 1.33, and discovered that it's possible to sync AK120 with playlists and everything using JRiver. Dont know if this is common knowledge around here but decided to tell you all anyways. Started the sync 10 minutes ago and...

Now, if only they could offer me some real music, I'd be opening an account. Seriously, pushing 50 and Creedence was not even an option for young people back in late 70s. Well, of course unless you and your family belonged to the hillbillie tribe...

Hi lee736, and thank you for your feedback. I can see from the Heir thread, that you have had your share of troubles, and can only imagine the agony in the process of dealing with a producer on the other side of the world when in trouble. Very contradictory to my own experience which turned out...

My auralic taurus mkII arriving next week. Will pair it with Violectric V800 Dac to start with, and kind of excited with regard to how these two ladies fit each other.

I like it. Not as big as I assumed it would be. Kind of like the iMod with an amp or thereabout. Nice! Looking forward to your sound impression in a day or two... Congrats

A question for lee730, as I know you have both AK120 and 8.A, how do you like the two of them together? How would you describe the fit between them? Believe that you have a more trained ear than me. Any thoughts? Any recommendation for a noob like me? Thanks

Got hold of the AK 120 today and have to admit that I love this player. Absolutely beautiful, perfect size, nice UI, and stunning SQ wise. All in all, a nice upgrade from the iMod and Headstage 12HE 4G. So far it also seems to play nicely with Heir Audios 8.A. Will try out the UE 18 Pro later...

Got final confirmation before shipping today, and here they are, my new babies. So can I play with you guys now? Please? :-)             A big thanks to the team over at Heir Audio for all their help. Fantastic team and support all the way!! Thanks

In summary, this (Violectric DAC V800) is one of the best DACs I've ever experienced, which is surprising since it only costs $1300. That's a lot of money, but actually pretty low for a top class DAC, which is what I consider this to be. In my personal experience I rank it below the Resonessense...

If he for some reason should change his mind you'll get it. LOL. Awaiting his full address to be able to post it on monday or whenever he want me to send it.   - Stim

Honestly don't know but as I have upgraded to Headstage Arrow 4G you can have mine. PM me your adress (including nation) and I'll send it to you on monday. In retrospect I wouldn't buy it after listening to Arrow 4G but it might do wonders for your setup for all I know, so there you go... :p

Anyone have experience with the Arrow 4G and Sennheiser HD650 (or similar headphones)? Will Arrow be capable of running them? Is it a good match?   Any input welcome!

Been waiting for Jude's impressions and comments on these. Now eagerly awaiting your feedback as well.
