    Astell & Kern AK70 MKII with dual DAC

    Y'know what... I knew that. I knew that, and it didn't even occur to me that the fastest way to scan is just on startup. It only takes ~15-20 seconds to start up anyway, and I've never seen it take more than a few minutes at most to scan before being ready. (It helps to know that ONLY...

    Astell & Kern AK70 MKII with dual DAC

    So... Does anyone, anywhere, have any more information on what, exactly, the "Pro EQ" changes? Are there any graphs anywhere? Any measurements? Anything? (The user manual is no help, of course). It really doesn't matter much, I'm just curious what it's actually changing because personally I...

    Astell & Kern AK70 MKII with dual DAC

    I've never had a dedicated DAP quite like this and I'm loving it so far, except for one (not-so-little) thing -- the fact that the library scan takes WAY too long after re-inserting the SD card. Currently, it's about 15 minutes before I'm able to listen. (And yes, I have stuff on the internal...

    Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6

    Yes, I'm aware of the automatic & manual options; I was mainly just complaining that it takes so long to update, and anytime you add/remove anything, you need to run the update... Guess I'll just have to get used to allowing enough time.

    Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6

    Is it normal for the "My Music" update to scan ALL files every time it runs? Do I actually have to wait for it to scan my thousands of files every single time?! (Sorry if this has been discussed already).

    Or, honestly, just try calling. I actually spoke to Dr. Ambrose directly. (Who knows how often he's able to chat -- maybe I just got lucky -- but it happened).

    Hm... Maybe try their "info" email address directly?

    ADEL™ Drum Earbuds

    I should chime in here as I was actually in Denver recently and almost got to go visit the Asius labs and meet Dr. Ambrose. (Didn't work out because of tight scheduling on my part). But, I made contact simply by using the contact form on their site: https://asiustechnologies.com (then click...

    Damn... That's a hell of a wait, but I agree: this tech deserves time. I really hope it takes off.

    ADEL™ Drum Earbuds

    Gotcha... Thank you for the explanation! Also, WOW... You're still waiting on your pre-order from last summer?! Damn... And I see that the campaign is still in "Prototype Mode." They were supposed to ship in February, no? I was really interested in this but ultimately opted out of IGG's...

    ADEL™ Drum Earbuds

    So, it looks like you can still get the $169 price for the base model via Indiegogo? Anybody know if this is the original or the "2.0" version? I'm also seeing that they've partnered with Empire Ears -- waaaaaaay out of my price range, but have they partnered with anyone else? I really...

    Here's my (computer) setup -- am I doin' this right?

    Hi folks, So. I'm on an MSI GS70 2QE laptop running audio via USB through a Creative Sound Blaster X7 amp/DAC w/ E-MU X7 bookshelf speakers; I also use JRiver Media Center for music... (With a... Dynaudio soundcard? Is that a thing? Realtek soundcard? And then there's also Nahimic? I don't...
