Denafrips Ares 12th speculation/discussion/impressions
Noob question: is it OK to keep both XLR and RCA outputs of ARES 12th-I plugged to different devices, in case if I turn on and use only 1 of these devices at a time? For example, may I connect headphone amp via XLR + active speakers via RCA, if I will use only one thing (either headphone amp +...- punknotyet

Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player
Have you tried to install Control App on your phone, make all required adjustments for your wireless earphones there, and after that use them with A&K? I have Technics AZ60 and ATH-TWX9 and I did exactly the same with both, i.e. customized touch controls on both, changed number of volume steps...- punknotyet

Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player
@GreenBow, you need a Tag Editor program (e.g. Mp3Tag, TagScanner, etc.) or a player with ability to edit tags (e.g. foobar2000) on your computer. Then you open all 17 tracks from Gladiator OST (discogs) in this program, change their different Artist tags ("Lisa Gerrard", "Djivan Gasparyan, Hans...- punknotyet

Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player
I'm wondering if anyone is using SR25 (I or II) with bluetooth earphones outdoors? I have VERY bad experience with Technics AZ60 - it barely works only with SBC codec. When I try LDAC, connection is very unstable (constant interruptions), so it's impossible to listen. Absolutely no problem...- punknotyet

Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player
OK, I've tested "Album Artist" approach today, using Twin Peaks OST as example: - 8 tracks have Artist tag = "Angelo Badalamenti"; - 3 tracks have Artist tag = "Julee Cruise"; - all 11 tracks have Album Artist tag = "Angelo Badalamenti". Unfortunately, this approach doesn't work as it should...- punknotyet

@GreenBow, try to put "Hans Zimmer" into "Album Artist" tag for all files from this album ("Gladiator - Music from the Motion Picture by Hans Zimmer"). Then (if I'm not mistaken) all tracks should be presented there, when you use navigation by Artist. Or you may simply use navigation by Folders...- punknotyet

I've bought V6 Vivids. Not sure about the difference in sound, but at least they are big and shiny. That's already something, right :)? Nope. By same combo I meant only WP900 + Burson PM2. Actually, I prefer to listen PM2 with other headphones - ATH-R70x (on High Gain). WP900 is used with Lotoo...- punknotyet

@Hyde00 , about your loudness issue with Burson Playmate 2 and WP900. Probably, a silly question, but I ask anyway :) - are you sure that you actually applied Low Gain setting?

Burson Playmate 2 (3W, ESS9038 DAC, Pre amp, DSD512, USB-C, toslink)
It looks like this issue happens, when I turn on PM2 and then almost immediately turn on the speakers (within several seconds interval). When I turn on PM2, wait several minutes, and then turn on the speakers - everything is fine (no "farts" :)). Is this expected behavior? With originally...- punknotyet
