    Reply to review by 'hikaru11' on item 'Sennheiser HD 800 Headphones'

    It did not take me more than 3 mins to dislike these headphones. There is a huge void in the low and mid end frequencies. My songs which would normally have a thump, was entirely lacking. The high end had too much treble. Voices lacked warmth became of the missing bass. They shrieked and hurt my...

    Astell & Kern Junior (AK Jr.) Impressions Thread

      It can use 200GB? I thought 64GB was max?    Glad you found my info useful Christina. I'm learning myself.    I was trying to rip AIF files at 16 bit/44 and they sound a little better than FLAC files. The vocals was a tad smoother. When I did 24/96 I can hear strange noise artifacts like...

    Hey guys, will AK support the new MQA files? I heard it can be hardware and software powered. If it's software, then a new firmware could update it to play MQA?

    Just curious if anyone has tried the HiFiMAN HM-901 in comparison to the AK jr?

        Yeah i know by dragging the bar. It's the scrolling in the center area that doesn't follow the touch too well.

    >>>   Hi, all- I'm new here and have found a lot of useful info in this thread. I'm about to set up a new AK Jr, and wanted to ask your advice. I will be copying music (mostly FLACs) over from my older Mac Pro (running Yosemite.) Using the Jr for listening on my daily commute. -...

    Is  QP1R ($899) & Valoq ($750) worth 2x the money of Jr?

    Astell & Kern Junior (AK Jr.) Impressions Thread

    I have the latest firmware and still find the touch interface really difficult to scroll. When you want to scroll fast, it's not responsive. At times a fast swipe doesn't move the scrolling much or at all. It's just hard to do what you want it to do.  I used the Sony A17 and that leaves this UI...

    Intermittent in the middle? What do you mean?   Problem 1   I DO have a problem when the next song of a different bit rate plays, it seems that the processor can't render the song properly and it sounds like AM radio or low fi.  This happens sometimes but not all the time. Anyone have...

    If price wasn't an object I'm sure there is something better. But the AK380 is nearly $4000. Is the sound worth 8x the cost of the JR? Probably not. :P

    I listened to the AK100 and like the AK Jr better. Firstly the Jr was louder because it's 2 ohms i believe. But the sound was nicer in my opinion. I am using Grado PS500 headphones which doesn't take much to drive them loud but the volume on the AK100 was too low for my taste. Plus it's cheaper...
