Looking at the Seraph it seems they only come with 3.5mm and 4.4mm (bal), and I think I need a 2.5mm (bal) plug, my main dap is an A&K Norma SR25 which puts out about 4vrms balanced on the 2.5mm vs 2vrms on the 3.5mm termination, which geniunely makes the dap perform better to me as I don't mind...

I don't know anything about that player, but for your maths I suspect it is close to correct, just that the voltage is the root mean square as given, so I think you need to add a factor of sqrt2 (~1.4) there for the regular equation, so rather: ( (1.94*1.4)^2 )/ (32+1.8) ~210 mW, for 32 ohm...

stellar, thanks!

When you say the tips fit perfectly, is the mmcx connector regular or not would you say? I have heard people say it isn't exactly standard and that they had to chip some plastic off the ends or something but others say their third party cable fits snugly. I will probably look to switch my cable...

Hi frends. So I'm looking for a new DAP. I currently have an A&K SR25 which (besides the absolutely magnificent audio quality) is not for me for a multitude of reasons, the two big relevant ones here being that it 1) has terrible physical design for me, it's just not well designed for being...

thanks for quick reply Jason!

where can I read update information. I just updated to 1.81. can't find info anywhere online.

Hi friends, what are some good online sites that ship inside Europe, that you know of? Preferrably sites with large assortments of the typical brands of course.. otherwise, where do you peeps buy your stuff if you live in EU? In my particular case it is Sweden, the few domestic sites I know...

Mind blowing if they recognise that the UI is flawed, improve on it but refuse to update it on purpose and put it on another product instead. What?

but maybe if we ask nicely :sweat:

edit: ok something went wrong with my post here lol, let's see if I can fix it. edit2: ok nvm, I'll go again: Anyway: @JasonNYC this looks very interesting already.. my only gripe with the SR25 is the interface/UI - there are a dozen things about it that just make no sense for a player with...

any news on if there is a way to scrobble (audioscrobble/lastfm) on this thing yet?

Sure. I vaguely suspect this is a general DAC and/or power thing (perhaps a PC issue) but I can copy that post up there and start a ticket with ifi, why not. Thanks for your activity and quick replies on the subject here :right_facing_fist:

No I have no opportunity to try it elsewhere atm.

Ok I have done some more research for a few hours and found some funny stuff going here. So I listen to a lot of sources of audio playback on the computer right, there's a browser window with a youtube going on on that screen, discord on on this screen, foobar playing in the bg, maybe I'm...

Yeah it happens all over the place, kinda. When I skip in a youtube video, about half a sec of silence you know, just mouths moving, a soft click sound. This is with the ifi set to 2 chan 16 bits. Maybe this has something to do with DACs in general and/or how they handle power/silence or...

So I have this problem with foobar2k where by default songs either produce a nasty click noise or cut off the first second of play. I have tried both using the Default Speakers with ifi by AMR and the ASIO foobar component ifi USB Audio Device outputs, no difference. Setup is computer USB 2.0...

Hey, thanks for your reply. Yeah that's what I suspected as well. I'm not sure there is a big used market around where I live so I've decided to just get something bang-for-the-buck-ish off of Amazon, but I hear you. I'm leaning towards an iFi Zen Air DAC, connect it to the computer (USB-C to...

So, previous setup I used the onboard mobo soundcard (which was.. alright) and just connected it to a JDLabs o2 amp to drive my headphones. I couldn't afford an alternative at the time and it did the job. So now I got a new mobo, tl:dr; turns out on this one the gpu is real close to the onboard...

this was sweet! Spotify now works which is great. New question though, I can't figure out how to quit an app (in this case Spotify so it might be in there somewhere) once it is running. I start listening to some podcast then it is permanently stuck as an active task on the top drop down menu...

Ok I see, thanks for replying my friend.

does anyone know any free big podcast app that actually works to install on an A&K 25? I am so incredibly frustrated with how bad the UI and the android version is, why they have a "white list" of apps on their website where half of them are only available in the US? and one of them that is...

Having had the player for another few weeks now, I do to be honest find the UI and interface pretty lackluster. There are so many small annoying things about how the player behaves in the interface I honestly expected more for the price class. This is not about the sound or playback which I...

I second this. I recently got an SR-25 and I'm in the feeling out period, it's great for many reasons and I should write more about it somewhere else, but for now one of the most pressing things for me is that I can't find any way to actually scrobble what I listen to which is something I...

Ha, you're right :D, I kind of checked when I put on the spinfit tips, noticed the plastic and just went with it, but ofc you're right the casing is metal (explains the odd weight anyway).
