Astell & Kern Junior (AK Jr.) Impressions Thread
I had the Ak Jr for over 2 years and finally the battery gave up. The dap works fine when plugged in as a DAC, but does not switch on without being plugged in. Do you guys know about replacement batteries?- jamescheru

Focal Elear - Impressions Thread
I have tried couple of cheap alternatives for a 3.5 mm connection from the Elear to my Chord Mojo. I’m noticing ever so slight loss of detail with all those cheap cables and adapters. None of them have the rich sound which the OFC cable has. Could you guys please suggest a good cable (atleast...- jamescheru

After eyeing the headphones for over an year, I finally made the purchase. I use my Astell&Kern AK70 as the source and am planning to connect the headphones directly to the player.

IEM's+AK70
I use my Ultimate Ears UE900s with the AK70. The pairing is pretty good, but I have noticed that I have to turn up the volume between 100-110 for the headphones to awe me. The UE900s has a reference kind of sound with a mild dip in the mids. I am satisfied with the combo for rock, classical, and...- jamescheru

New iRiver AK70
The drivers automatically installed when I connected my AK70 to my Windows 10 machine. However I had trouble connecting the AK Jr with the same machine. So the drivers should be for those models which wont install automatically.- jamescheru

Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion
The audio-gd is in shipping, so I cannot comment on that. I used my Hifiman with my portable player Astell & Kern AK Jr. It was a sweet combination. Never harsh and with a lot of detail. Even though there was sibilance at times, its not something that you will notice and not ear piercing. ...- jamescheru

Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion
I am planning to buy the Sennheiser HD700 to replace my Hifiman HE400i. I really like the sound of Hifiman HE400i, but they are not the most comfortable. Hifiman gets really uncomfortable after an hour of use. I like fast sound more than laid back warm sound, I don't have an opportunity...- jamescheru
