Thanks for those datapoints..... i guess i will see what the feedback from Fried Reim is. The V281 is on the same eletrical source and is dead silent. What is strange is the fact, that they probably use the same transformers. My theory currently is a transformer, that is probably not behaving as...

The interesting thing is that the V281 that was connected to the same electrical source was silent. @iFi audio : can you explain what you mean with „easy to get rid of“?

Hi there I have a question i could not see answered so for in this thread. I received a Niimbus US5 pro for trial from a very nice dealer who let me have the unit for one week. Although i really loved the sound, the thing that made me send it back was the mechanical hum from the PCB TOROIDAL...

Why is there silence on this matter about AK Connect Problems... basically everybody who uses AK Connect seems affect. Some transparency about what can be done is warranted... As customers we invested quite a substantial amount of money.... Well?

I agree.... and very surprising the Devs cannot reproduce it. If this is not resolved in the next weeks i am going to sell mine. It will be my first and last AK DAP.

Yes... the skipping / dropout only happens when the screen goes off....

i bought from official dealer... i have this firmware 1..01CM.... in Switzerland... is that correct It is for me not WIFI dropout... the AK Connect seems to shut down although settings are correct.

I reported the same issue already a couple of weeks back, so have others.... Agreed that this seems to take a lot of time to fix......

@JasonNYC Did you already get a reply regarding the 4.4mm output and the grounding? Thanks

@JasonNYC : Is the 4.4mm balanced output internally grounded? This is important to know if connecting to external Amp. Thanks, Michael

thanks again for your work on AutoEQ.... one question... can you explain the following? Recomputed all results with the new limited slope equalization. Would this create audible differences?

Hello Jason I am sure you follow this discussion here and you probably also saw that some users who use AK Connect report problems. Is this something AK is aware of? For me as it is, AK Connect is not usable at all. An it is not related to any settings. Also using the latest firmware 1.01

I also have the RME ADI-2. I agree... sound is amazing...the many features are really coming from the software side. On my end... I use direct DSD basically bypassing all software processing.... the result... amazing clean sound. The RME ADI 2 is a fully transparent DAC. I would be very...

It is turned off... tried both settings

I also struggle with AK Connect. when screen goes dark .... it disconnects. Any advice?
