Aartkillen replied to the thread Astell&Kern, or Astell and Kern, AK PA 10 portable headphone amplifier impressions, comments, or general discussion.I didn't think this pairing complimented each other very well. Tried it with 3.5mm and a 3.5 to 4.4 input adapter. PA10 removed some of...

Aartkillen replied to the thread Astell&Kern, or Astell and Kern, AK PA 10 portable headphone amplifier impressions, comments, or general discussion.You can do this. The balanced input on the PA10 simply won't have the differential signal it's expecting, so it technically won't be...

Aartkillen replied to the thread Shanling H5 - Portable DAC/AMP/Player, AKM AK4493S DACs and sweet warm tuning.I had a Mojo 2. Even with the EQ, it never sounded warm with my Ananda nor HE1000se. Technicalities were good, but the note weight never...

Aartkillen replied to the thread Astell&Kern, or Astell and Kern, AK PA 10 portable headphone amplifier impressions, comments, or general discussion.Correct. It isn't taking full advantage of the balanced input. I use it because it outputs a higher volume than the 3.5 PA10 headphone...

Aartkillen replied to the thread Astell&Kern, or Astell and Kern, AK PA 10 portable headphone amplifier impressions, comments, or general discussion.I have this combo and I 100% agree. Crossfeed enabled for classical music is on another level, too. I also upsample to 706kHz and the...

Aartkillen reacted to pippen99's post in the thread Astell&Kern, or Astell and Kern, AK PA 10 portable headphone amplifier impressions, comments, or general discussion with Like.That is what I have found also.

Aartkillen replied to the thread Hiby FC6 - another R-2R USB dongle.No drivers for me. RU6 = FC6 with a loudness button and more driving power. FC6 has smoother timbre, by a little. If you have IEMs or...

Aartkillen replied to the thread Hiby FC6 - another R-2R USB dongle.FC6 sounds like an RU6 with more neutral tuning and less driving power. Some people think the RU6 sounds a little muddy in the lower...

Aartkillen replied to the thread Hiby FC6 - another R-2R USB dongle.I did try that combo. I prefer the FC6 by itself. Some of the charm was lost in going to the PA10, even though there was more driving...

Aartkillen replied to the thread Hiby FC6 - another R-2R USB dongle.Your interpretation is correct. And yes, it's a limitation for most or maybe all dongles with the 712, to varying degrees. Things with...
