Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000
Hi all, Not sure if this has been discussed, I can’t find mention of it, but recently I’ve tried updating my sideloaded Tidal and Qobuz apps on the SP3K and while the device goes through the motions, the old version doesn’t get updated. So I’m currently running Tidal 2.92.0, when the download...- Nails

Thanks for asking Foo, The Andromedas are quite good, however they are very light on bass which may suit some. They also have very short tubes and I tried many eartips without success getting a good seal, this reduces the bass further. A while back I got some ADV custom tip’s which work really...- Nails

Astell&Kern Launches New flagship DAP and an IEM Collaboration with Empire Ears
Hi stacey That is extremely kind of you to offer. I’m not sure how long they will need them to take an impression. If its a similar process to getting ear impressions it should only take 30 minutes max. I’ll email them again suggesting you might be able to help and find out more details. Thanks...- Nails

Astell&Kern Launches New flagship DAP and an IEM Collaboration with Empire Ears
Has anyone had custom eartips made for their Odyyseys? I’ve checked with ADV-sound and they haven’t got moulds to suit. I’m in Australia and not prepared to send my iems away for several weeks to get the custom eartips made up. I’m hoping someone has already done this. Thanks- Nails

I just had a look at this and I don’t believe you can run the same version of qobuz on the Cube due to Cube not being able to run the same operating system version as SP3K. Not sure why I still have mine, its like a dinosaur but it still sounds great if you’ve got time to wait for it to start up 😝- Nails

Thanks Brandon99, good to know it’s not just me. I thought it might be qobuz, but I’m sure they won’t confirm it. This morning I removed the qobuz app and reinstalled, then realised I would lose all my downloads, lol at least I only had about 30GB worth. I’ve downloaded a few albums since and so...- Nails

Update on missing tracks issue (see original post #2638) I’ve noticed that as soon as I start playing a track from my offline library, it disappears. This also happens if I start playing a full album and check after listening to say 4 tracks…those 4 tracks are then missing and I can’t play...- Nails

Yes, it was like that for me with the Cube, it also used to jitter, by that i mean skip a couple of seconds every few seconds on a track. I couldn’t resolve it so just started with qobuz. My issue now is losing tracks I’ve downloaded from qobuz. Hopefully I find out why soon. Hopefully you can...- Nails

I haven’t had this with SP3K but I did with the Cube, that was the main reason I tried qobuz and didn’t look back. I think its a Tidal issue but not sure- Nails

Thanks FF. I don’t know much about Roon although I did read up on it ages ago. Might be time to have another look. The lifetime subscription did seem pretty reasonable I thought, probably still not a bad deal- Nails

Hi DM, I’ll need to check, I haven’t updated the cube since I got the 3K. It is a bit of a process to update the cube compared to really straight forward with the 3K, I’ll check tomorrow and let you know.- Nails

Glad to help! Even as a native English speaker I find it hard to follow lyrics in many tracks I like, so I definitely agree. I think it’s probably on a qobuz list to implement at some point and if/when that happens I’ll probably drop Tidal.- Nails

I just noticed I’ve lost another 6 tracks from one album and 2 from another, probably others too. Very strange. One of the albums is in my favourites, the tracks are still listed but the missing downloaded ones are not available offline (the others are) I tried a reset earlier today but nothing...- Nails
