    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000M - Coming Soon

    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. I perceive such a policy as...

    Thank You - It was an interesting and professional meeting that you led. He somewhat evaded answering the questions I asked: 1.Is there a chance that the LDAC codec will appear in your wireless products? Maybe it is due to licensing restrictions? 2.Your products are of the highest quality...

    Astell&Kern, or Astell and Kern, AK PA 10 portable headphone amplifier impressions, comments, or general discussion

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    ACTIVO Q1, New IEM Collaboration from ACTIVO and DITA Audio

    TWS from A&K are not exceptional. But if we are talking about IEM, I have a different opinion. I had and have Astell&Kern IEM headphones. Great synergy of their headphones with great DAPs of their company.

    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...

    Hi @Strale - It's nice to read you and it's great that you are experimenting,and the fact that you go back to old entries shows that you delve deeper into the topic. I agree with you that specifications and price alone are not indicators of sound quality. What matters is that the sound pleases...
