Astell&Kern Launches KANN ALPHA Digital Audio Player
OK I came on here because my unit became unresponsive and I couldn't switch it off. Turns out I just needed to hold the standby button down for much longer.- Pezzab

Thanks for the advice @ttorbic - I'll certainly give that a try. I bought mine via Aliexpress so I'm not confident I can get them replaced or fixed via that route.- Pezzab

Some disappointing news re my Canons: one of the IEMs has become significantly quieter than the other. I can partially correct the issue by shifting the balance on my DAC but they no longer sound as good as they used to.- Pezzab

Astell&Kern Launches KANN ALPHA Digital Audio Player
Hello @JasonNYC - I'm unable to save custom EQ profiles (or at least they will not persist after shutting the device down if I can save them) since the last firmware update. Is this something anyone else is having trouble with?- Pezzab

Astell&Kern Launches KANN ALPHA Digital Audio Player
Hi @JasonNYC - has anyone encountered an issue with not being able to save custom EQ profiles since the last firmware update? I can add a new profile and rename it, edit the EQ and switch it on or off, but my profiles don't persist if I switch the device off, which is very frustrating.- Pezzab

Nothing in particular - if anything I appreciate that the Canons are comfortable and obviously sound great. It's just that the 3001 pro package is a bit of a hard act to follow in terms of the excellent build quality, packaging and cable accessories. This appears to be something DUNU pay a lot...- Pezzab

Not to be completely down on DUNU. The build quality is superb (where the Canon doesn't compete) and I'd be interested to hear more of their products. I'm reluctant to say too much about the sound of the Canons as I haven't really heard enough IEMs to make an informed opinion, but I haven't...- Pezzab

My bought my first ever IEM's over a year ago and they were the DUNU 3001 Pro. Which while I appreciated they were better than any earphone I'd ever heard before I found them a bit dull to listen to. So I took a punt on the Canon's before Christmas and felt they were a vast improvement on them...- Pezzab

Astell&Kern Launches KANN ALPHA Digital Audio Player
I updated the firmware yesterday and all my playlist folders show "no music found" if I open them and if I try creating one from scratch I'm able to add new songs but when I go into the playlist folder I still get the missing music message. Is this the bug you are referring to?- Pezzab

Astell&Kern Launches KANN ALPHA Digital Audio Player
Hello all, I haven't been here for a while and aware of some of the limitations but none impinged on my own use case and I've generally enjoyed my time with the Alpha so far. Until I hit the absurd limit of 100 favourite songs.- Pezzab

This pretty much agrees with my perception of the Canon. I'd also add that I find I can pick out individual instruments in dense musical passages as well as tonal and physical qualities of instruments that I have never heard before. They also have a noticeably warm and inviting signature that...- Pezzab

I took a punt on them and I'm very impressed. Though my relative inexperience with IEMs means I'm not really able to recommend or describe the Canon with any authority. Looking forward to hearing what more experienced forum members make of them so I can compare my own impressions.- Pezzab

I took a punt on the Yanyin Canon which arrived at the middle of last week and so far I've been blown away by what I'm hearing. My only comparison to date is the Dunu 3001 pro, a reasonably well regarded mid range IEM. While being a great introduction to IEMs I reached the conclusion that these...- Pezzab
