    TIDAL is coming to Astell&Kern players!

    Does anyone have an idea on when it will be released on AK240. What means "soon after' ? Thanks !

    I'm sorry but I don't get it... Streaming, buying, ripping your CD is not about money or return on investment... Especially for those who can afford several K$ player... In my point of view it's only about having the freedom to ear what you want (unknown new stuff thanks to streaming, your own...

    Using the AK240 as a DAC with our iDevices     Hi, If you remember I asked last year how to use Qobuz, Tidal or other CD quality streaming services with the AK240. (I wanted to suscribe to Qobuz Sublime in order to stream and discover new albums, artists, songs and buy in HD only the few I...

    Damned ! What about other devices such as Galaxy tabs or Samsung phones ? (It would be strange to me to buy a dedicated phone for streaming purposes but why not after all...)

    There may be a quick and easy solution for us to use all streaming service (Deezer, Spotify, Qobuz, Tydal...) : connect the AK240 to an iDevice (iPhone, iPad) This is what the AK10 does ; this is what the Hugo does as well (using iPhone Camera connector) We could then stream from our iDevice...

    Hello, I unfortunately do confirm. The Qobuz app only give you the ability to... - download what you bought - listen extract of proposed new content to buy (not full catalog) and add it to your basket (and then you have to use your computer to finalize the purchase) - listen the complete song in...

    I'm sorry but I don't get it... Would you expect a CD player in your HiFi system to resume the song where it was when switching the power off ? For me it's logical and somehow expected to have the track starting from zero when starting the device. Don't you think ?

    I just switched back to 1.15 The new release clearly changed the sound. I don't think it's a placebo effect. I have Shure se846 with peptide v2 balanced cables. I have the feeling 1.16 gives more details on meds. Voices are more detailed, bass are more neutral but... I have simply less pleasure...

    What a disappointement !!!! I waited that Qobuz app for week and... 1/ we can't browse the complete qobuz content but only their proposal ie. "Best choice", "best bought" ... 2/ you still have to pay online with a computer 3/ I was not able to create a new account from the AK. You have to use a...

    You're right Cosmic but as I have already an AK240 to get music with me when traveling, I wouldn't buy an additional device. The AK240 (as the AK10 does) should be able to DAC/AMP the iPhone as well. Again, the AK240 is perfect for the music I bought but I first need to explore music online with...

    Thanks. Would someone know how to contact Astell & Kern to ask for iDevice support with the AK240 as it is the case with the AK10 ?

    Hello Mimouille, do you download Qobuz file from the AK240 itself ? I heard Qobuz developed a specific program to buy & download music directly from the AK player but I don't know if it's already available or not. As I bought the AK240 in the USA and not in Europe I thought I couldn't get the...
