A & K KANN and Chord Mojo - How Do I Connect?
Thanks for looking everybody but to ‘close’ this thread I’ve managed to sort it. The fault was with the KANN (actually not a fault at all, it was working correctly). There is a setting buried away in the bowels of the unit that needs to be selected each and every time you want to use the micro...- mkn777er

A & K KANN and Chord Mojo - How Do I Connect?
Title says it all really. I have recently purchased a Mojo which enhances my Laptop and headphones brilliantly. But I cannot get it to work with my A & K KANN. A Google search suggests (many sites) that all A & K devices (except Jr) need a Toslink cable with one end plugged into the headphone...- mkn777er

Do I Need A Better DAC?
Thanks for the replies. I've had a good trawl through DAC Difference thread and based on what I have read there I think I will buy the headphones and see how I get on usnig the KANN as my DAC. I've also looked at the Focal Clears and they do indeed get great reviews. But I am particularly...- mkn777er

Do I Need A Better DAC?
Sorry for the ‘strange’ question but I’m wondering if I could improve my current set up. I have an A & K KANN as my main portable music player and I use a pair of Bose Quietcomfort headphones. I also use the DAC within the KANN to play music and movies through my laptop etc. It works well. But I...- mkn777er

Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery
Thank you for the replies. I have tried it on Hi Gain with and without the EQ and it does not seem to make any difference. I think the problem is with the Bose Wireless buds, I think I will send them back and look for some with a bit more oomph. The wired Bose I have are just fine. I've looked...- mkn777er

Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery
I'm new to these forums so apologies if this is not the right place to ask but: I have a KANN which I have been using for about 2 years. I'm not partically technically minded - but want to learn more, hence these forums! - and don't feel I am getting the best out of the KANN. I have two...- mkn777er

(Portable) Headphone Amp with Bluetooth out function
Thank you, I’m new to these forums and had not found the KANN thread, I will take my questions there. Yes I have turned it up to max, and at that level it’s just about useable, but i would really like the option to increase if required.- mkn777er

(Portable) Headphone Amp with Bluetooth out function
Thanks for the reply, that makes sense. I think the problem is with the KANN. By my standards it's a very expensive media player but it does seem to lack oomph when using Bluetooth. The Bose are just fine with my significantly cheaper Samsung phone, lots of volume. I think at some stage it will...- mkn777er

(Portable) Headphone Amp with Bluetooth out function
Does such a thing exist? I want to improve the volume of my A & K KANN so that I can use it effectively with wireless buds. I have Bose QuietComfort buds which work fine with the KANN but the volume level is only just about 'adequate'. I've seen many portable amps with Bluetooth receivers but...- mkn777er

Bose Quiet Comfort Earbuds and A & K KANN
Hello, my first post. I have been seeking some help via the internet with not much success and then I found these forums and hoping I may find some answers here? It might also allow me to demonstrate my lack of technical knowledge, but I will take it all as a learning experience. Anyway: My...- mkn777er
