I had a MK1 Directstream for years. I loved it for it's musicality and the over the air upgrades. Finally got to the end of it's shelf life after the FPGA could no longer accommodate future upgrades. The MKII is supposed to be a significate upgrade. Because the pandemic the MKii was...

I use the Audeze preset as a convolution filter plus a 3 band PEQ on my LCD-5.

I never EQ’d my LCD-4 in the 5years I owned it. During a Roon free trial I tried the Audeze preset but soon went back as I felt it was not an improvement.

Here are my thoughts on the two on my LCD-5. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/double-helix-cables-thread.600546/post-17379416

Do you have a source for the Miter case? I can't find it on the planet.

I also have the CA 1000. I agree it is a great piece. I prefer it to my SE 300. Almost if not all of the problems have been in the US. You will probably be good. The Ultra would not play longer than 5 minutes so not really able to compare. I needed a portable unit or I just would have used...

Then you have not read the complete thread or have not been playing attention. Many of us(in the US mainly) have experienced disabling Wifi issues with the Ultra. The Ultra will connect but be unable to hold the connection. You then have to exit Wifi and then try to connect again. This was...

Fir Audio KR5 for sale or trade. Would prefer trade. This is the best IEM I have owned. The bass is amazing with an astonishing high end. Unfortunately the design that results in such wonderful sound does not fit my type of use. I need a more isolating design than the Kinetic Bass design...

I had the EML 2.5vs in my WA33 EE. They sounded great but were unreliable. The distributor and part owner of EML Jacmusic is owned by a bandit who will do everything possible to avoid a warranty claim. It took me 6 months to get a replacement tube. Others had similar experience with...

Jason noted that the development team was investigating on 01/22. Since then there has been no further news. My dealer got tired of my nagging and traded me up(?) to a SE300 Titan. Still would prefer the Ultra for its superior processor and greater power. Apparently a complicated issue.

I did not have that option. If I continued to wait on A&K development team to provide a solution I would now be nearing 10 weeks without a DAP. That is why I have the SE300.

I have seen all kinds of results. From 451/354/127/54/24. Since you asked I just now turned it on and got 325mbps. At least it connects and stays connected unlike the Ultra. I have even walked outside more than 75 ft from my router and it stayed connected. I still would prefer the Ultra for...

For certain Wifi users the Ultra will not hold the Wifi channel. It will sign on and then drop Wifi. One has to sign out of Wifi and then sign back on. Then the whole thing repeats. It is why I have a SE300. My dealer traded me to a SE300 because a fix from A&K was undetermined. Apparently...

Since it is a Wifi problem do not hold your breath. Astell & Kern still has not announced a fix for the Kann Ultra's Wifi issues.
