    Astell & Kern Kann MAX

    How do you get rid of the “back” button in services? I’ve removed it from the A&K player, but when I go into Spotify and Qobuz it’s in the way. It’s not necessary as one can just swipe up to exit the service.

    Cayin N3Ultra: an Entry-level Portable DAP that Delivers a Complete Vacuum Tube Audio Experience

    YOU sir are THE MAN! Thank you so much. I just got it and didn't even think to look in the envelope. I was going to leave it in the box until I found one.

    Cayin N3Ultra: an Entry-level Portable DAP that Delivers a Complete Vacuum Tube Audio Experience

    Andy, There aren't screen protectors available on Amazon. Is there another model with a 4.1" screen that has protectors available I can buy? The pre-applied protector came off when i removed the protective marketing film. Looks like the A&K KANN Aplha might fit as it has a 4.1" screen.

    Cayin N8ii: The Incredible DAP with ROHM DAC and fully BAL Nutube

    Which is precisely why I’m trying to make an effort to get that app working properly. I appreciate the explanation. My hope is to find out if I have a setting wrong, or perhaps there’s some other issue (like the card not being formatted properly). Troubleshooting to this point seems to suggest...

    Cayin N8ii: The Incredible DAP with ROHM DAC and fully BAL Nutube

    I have 15 DAPS, and I've always used SanDisk without issue. I suspect @Andykong is correct that it's the player. I have installed other players and I don't have the issue with them, but I want to be able to use the stock app in the player.

    Cayin N8ii: The Incredible DAP with ROHM DAC and fully BAL Nutube

    I'm using the primary app that comes with the player and shows the Cayin brand. I would think the app that comes with the player should work best with the player? Yes, I'm playing tracks that flow one into the other, but the following track isn't seamlessly transitioned into. There is a gap in...

    Cayin N8ii: The Incredible DAP with ROHM DAC and fully BAL Nutube

    @Andykong i think you’ve achieved this, but I have a question: if the sound is amazing, but the player isn’t transitioning smoothly from one track to another, does the wonderful sound matter anymore? I’m using the HiBy player and it isn’t going from one track to the next without cutting off a...

    Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000T

    I currently use an Ibasso DX320 but I’m considering the SP3000T. Looks like a similar setup to the SP3000, with a streamlined and locked down Android OS. On my DX320 I use PowerAMP, which makes importing/exporting playlists to and from my PC and other android DAPs very easy. I can even use...

    Playlist users be warned: My first impression of the Plenue R

    i just adjust the volume. I love mp3gain but it doesn't work on FLAC files. Now as far as the COWON is concerned, i think the only solution at this point is a FW update, because the limitation of 199 tracks on the cue sheets is stupid.

    Playlist users be warned: My first impression of the Plenue R

    Problem discovered... It appears that the Plenue R will only allow 199 files per cue file... Very disappointing development. I will try to confirm with cowon.

    I could, but the damn thing is too beautiful, and accepts a 400 GB Micro SD card.

    Playlist users be warned: My first impression of the Plenue R

    I did, but my playlists have redundancies from one to another and I wasn't keen on having multiple duplicate files.

    Playlist users be warned: My first impression of the Plenue R

    One problem has been partially resolved. As noted, m3u2cue.exe was an inadequate solution because it didn't populate the artist name or track title in the CUE file. Foobar2000 (when used with a plugin called foo_cuesheet_creator) can convert a playlist into a CUE file. Here is a link to the...
