Astell&Kern Launches KANN Ultra DAP and AK HB1 Bluetooth Amp/DAC
@ Newbie Master WiFi topic was discussed earlier in this thread, and I think it also concerns SE300 too. I pasted the quote. The described change in Access Point helps, or a change of region (maybe it will be included in the December firmware?). I do not see a problem in the EU in Poland...- 123peter

PLANAR IEMs fans thread-Impressions, suggestions, ranking list, techs
You are absolutely right. Currently, it is not a rash of such equipment, it is a flood of bland equipment. On the one hand, we have headphones that are astronomically and absurdly expensive (and yet it is just one element of the audio path), and on the other, cheap headphones that sound - the...- 123peter

Reply to review by '123peter' on item 'Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro'
Vanillacones - Well written review. However, I can't find any information on the internet about the codecs supported by the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro. Is it just the dedicated - 24 bit / 96 kHz Samsung Seamless Codec, or does it also have other codecs that it supports? For older Android or...- 123peter

Astell&Kern, or Astell and Kern, AK PA 10 portable headphone amplifier impressions, comments, or general discussion
The balanced A class amplifier Astell & Kern PA10 is a great idea from the company at a friendly price. Such an amplifier can complement A&K DAPs, but also DAPs and other companies. It is a nice addition to the existing setup. You can experiment with music from the DAP itself and DAP + PA10, it...- 123peter

SP3000 - within 2 years, that's 14 firmware Kann Ultra - within 1 year of release, only 2 firmware (patches and improvements promised in January forgotten) The life of new Astell & Kern DAPs is very short, until the first reviews by well-known testers in the media.

Thank You - It was an interesting and professional meeting that you led.

Maybe it is due to licensing restrictions? 2.Your products are of the highest quality...- 123peter

Test, listen, check - I think it's great that we have such a possibility of adjustment. It's very individual in reception. Sometimes it's not an improvement in sound that will make you listen only in such a setup. In my case, A&K Kann Ultra suits me very well and I often listen directly from it...- 123peter

YAMAHA HA-L7A Headphone amplifier | MESSAGE FROM THE ENGINEERS
The assertion that using new DAC chips doesn’t matter because 'you can’t hear it' suggests that progress in audio could have stopped several years ago. But do we really want that to be the case? Such logic assumes that everything that could be discovered in the realm of sound has already been...- 123peter

Astell&Kern Launches KANN Ultra DAP and AK HB1 Bluetooth Amp/DAC
In my opinion, you buy a DAP because of: minimal audio setup, portability (movability..) and the fact that you are free from interference from the electrical network on battery power (hum) - these are some of the main advantages. Enjoy 6-7 hours of music from your DAP on battery without...- 123peter

Astell&Kern, or Astell and Kern, AK PA 10 portable headphone amplifier impressions, comments, or general discussion
I've written about this before. The whole point and magic of the A&K PA10 sound is a good balanced source that will deliver a signal to the PA10 4.4mm input, and using the PA10 output only balanced 4.4mm for headphones. Besides, you can't cross-connect a signal to the 3.5mm input and get sound...- 123peter

ACTIVO Q1, New IEM Collaboration from ACTIVO and DITA Audio

My "subjective" experience with AKM vs ESS DAC chip "sound signature".
For many years I was a big fan of AKM chips. And since my last sound sources in recent years have been DAPs I can say one thing - DAC chips themselves "don't play music". The chip is just one element of the path and what matters is how they were implemented in a given device/equipment. Remember...- 123peter
