    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    This may be a noob question: SR25 can only install APK file? not APKM or any other variant of APK? I can't find Apple Music 3.6 in APK?

    The Qudelix-5K thread

    I posted in Qudelix forum as well will playing a lossless file improve the sound quality of Bluetooth-transmitted sound? I am not sure about the exact signal/data path. But if the file to be converted/compressed to BT signal is higher quality (lossless), won’t the sound be better? Or will...

    The Qudelix-5K thread

    Apple just turned switch on to lossless. Their news release said that Bluetooth doesn’t support lossless. But I think I hear improvement. Am I hearing a non existent improvement caused by bias?

    NEW Astell&Kern SR25 DAP - Available Soon!

    I have had my unit for about 9 months until the back cover came off. I sent the unit back without a firm return date. I am looking about 45-60 days? Has anyone had the same issue?

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    Has anyone tried HD650 or HD800 with SR25? It seems like KANN can drive full size headphones, but I'm not sure if SR25 can

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    do you know if I playback from SR25 via bluetooth I'd be listening to a sound that bypassed SR25's DAC? or is there a SR25 DAC -> BT ADC -----> transmission -------> BT receiver DAC?

    I see. I'm using a Bluetooth dongle (receiver). So it'd be same as connecting directly to PC via Bluetooth.

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    I just ordered Qudelix 5K. To my surprise, I found out that SR25 does not support bluetooth when used as DAC from a PC. WOW...I didn't expect that... I wonder if this something that can be addressed by A&K later as a firmware update

    I'm sorry for asking a question off topic. do you think 5K would be able to drive HiFiman Ananda?

    The Hi-Fi + Hi-Res Audiophiles' Bluetooth Headphone Adapter Thread - [17.Oct.21] iFi GO Blu impression added

    I ordered 5K based on the review. However, I wonder if anyone has had a chance to compare 5K with Deva Bluemini.

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    Does anyone know if there is a way to customize the function of the three buttons on the side? They seem pretty useless for now. When listening to Tidal app, the buttons control the app (play, pause, next, previous). as soon as I pause and stop using the app for a few minutes, the buttons stop...

    Hifiman DEVA - Official Thread

    It's been a week since I receive my set of Deva. While I'm impressed with the SQ via BT, I wonder how it compares to HD 6XX when connected to cable. It's been a while I sold my HD 650 but I've been missing it. Does anyone have both Deva and HD 6XX to give me a simple comparison? I listen to...
