    Astell&Kern AK380

    Have you tried turning the Wifi on and off? I have the same with my AK240. Whenever I have the Wifi turned on and my phone close by, there is some noticeable interference.

    AMP/DAC for Sennheiser HD 700 headphones

    DIY, not sure haha! I'd rather throw money in some direction and get something with an electrical plug back! :)   If there is no risk, as in short-circuit'ing the whole thingy, it might be an option if there are some considerable benefits when looking at DIY.

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    Hey guys!   I just wanted to post how IMPRESSED I am by the AK240. Normally I use it on a daily basis with my JH audio Roxannes, but I managed to get a good deal on a Sennheiser HD700 and man... even without further amp'ing - it sounds wonderful! Listening to Eric Serra's Fifth Element OST in...

    AMP/DAC for Sennheiser HD 700 headphones

    BUMP!   Sorry to jump in guys, but I am looking for some advice. I have the HD700 and I am looking for a reasonably prices amp to connect to my AK240 (so no DAC combo...), AK240>amp>HD700.   Preferably <500$ :).   I was looking at the Schiit models, they seem nice but as I normally use...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    Hey Guys!   Happily reading back all the posts... which is taking me ages!   One quick question, I can grab an "as good as new" HD700 for around 375 Euro... Now, I am usually using my JH Audio Roxanne's (custom) with my AK240. I am, however, looking for an additional headset and stumbled...

    Astell&Kern AK380

    Still, wouldn't that mean that the volume will be around 45/50 vol. compared to the AK240's 0.5 vol. increments... For CIEM's, I guess thats quite high... (for me personally :) )   Anyway, quite off-topic:)   Let's bring on the lush about the 380 so that I can feel bad about my savings...

    Astell&Kern AK380

    90-102 ... Isn't that quite loud.... I am running my JH Custom Roxanne's at around 32 vol on my AK240 and even that seems too loud to me from time to time...

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

    Great thanks:)  Looks like this is going to hurt my wallet again...

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

    Haha, yeah... no worries, your visuals did not abandon you :)! I am just interested whether the audition was also conducted with the AK240 alone.    Carrying around more than my DAP (and hp/IEMs of course), defeats the purpose of portability for me personally. :)     Btw. Greetings from...

      Did you feel that the AK240 is able to drive the EL-8 open without needing further amplification? :)  Thanks!

    Audeze EL-8: The EL-8 is a must-hear at CES 2015

        Interesting. What do you think so far? I am currently using my JH Audio Roxanne (custom) with an AK240. As I am tempted to the EL-8, I am scared that I might not be satisfied by the sound compared to the Roxanne...
