Oof... LTD edition, tuning kit, and additional tax easily makes this the most I've spent on a headphone. Only for ZMF I would spend this much lol.

Ah, guess you can't please everyone. I understand.

Oh wow. I can't believe I haven't been using Line Out this entire time. This has to be one of the most confusing daps I've ever owned... With iBasso or FiiO, you just enable the setting once and it'll give you a volume warning. Having to enable Line Out twice on the A&K feels really...

Anyone here can tell me if you are able to adjust the volume when utilizing the Line Out? I'm trying to resolve a massive noise interference issue with my device. Support is saying that enabling Line Out locks the volume to maximum. That has never been the case for me. The volume remains...

@JasonNYC Can I please get a response to this? I've reached out to A&K directly and have gotten zero response. Am I reaching out to the correct support? There's no US email listed on the site, just the HQ one and countries outside the US... https://www.astellnkern.com/support/contactUs.jsp

@JasonNYC When I have an issue with my device, do I reach out to the dealer, or you guys directly? I'll try to be brief... I've been struggling for the past month or so talking with ZMF and Hart Audio Cables trying to find out why I'm getting terrible noise from the 4.4mm Line Out to the ZMF...

First time buyer here for tgxear. Heard them mentioned in the round up thread. Been out of the earbuds game for awhile now as I never really found an earbud that really beat my recabled Diomnes lv2 buds (without spending a fortune) years back. Wanted to dip back into TOTL buds and saw the...

I recently found out you can change voltages on the line out. I've been switching between the 1V/2V and 2V/4V, but I don't notice any difference in volume or sound. Does it matter for external amps - like my Cayin HA-3A? What's the setting meant for?

No, I never leave amps on. The only thing I can think of is a sudden power outage we had, but that's never killed the VU meters in the Cayin HA-3A I have.

My VU meter has stopped working. Not sure when it happened, but I barely have much hours on the amp.

You got me curious, so I swapped back to stock and now I'm feeling the same. Sounds really nice with the Mullard tubes I've got here. AC and Bokeh is satisfying all my bass needs.

Just tried these. I think they do offer a good inbetween from stock Lambskin and Suedes, but I still preferred the Caldera Suedes over the Bokeh Suedes. The Bokeh pads sounded more closed in and less "magical" (?) to me. Not bad at all, but more of a preference. Also, pad swapping on the AC was...

I also have been switching pads again, and it was really rough... Not my first ZMF at all, but the Suedes almost felt impossible until I forcibly broke the stitching... Suedes in general always seem to soften the attack too much for me. I liked the tonality, but it became a little too soft...
