    Astell&Kern Launches Three New Products to Start 2023

    @JasonNYC had some questions on the CA1000T and AK Connect and wondered if you can help. - When using Tidal as source and the Acro as "speaker", is the Acro itself connecting to and playing Tidal content? Or is the phone / tablet running AK connect playing Tidal and sending that data over the...

    iBasso DX300 MAX Dual AK4499 Snapdragon 660 Octa-Core 6GB RAM 128GB ROM **NEW Firmware:** 2.03 Available.

    Hi Paul. The version before last (2.01) was great in terms of sound, and worked perfectly in Ultimate mode.

    iBasso DX300 MAX Dual AK4499 Snapdragon 660 Octa-Core 6GB RAM 128GB ROM **NEW Firmware:** 2.03 Available.

    Unfortunately many of us have the issue with the latest firmware that ultimate mode sounds much worse (muffled). Still waiting on the firmware upgrade that’s meant to address it.

    Astell&Kern ACRO CA1000 Carriable Headphone Amp

    Hi all. Couple of quick questions on sorting of music. - Can you sort albums by date added? - Can you sort by album artist?

    New Astell&Kern CA1000T impressions thread.

    Hi all. Couple of quick questions. - Can you change the sorting of music (e.g., date added) as opposed to only alphabetical A-Z? - Can you display albums by artist instead of by album names A-Z?

    T+A Solitaire P planar magnetostatic

    Has anyone tried one of the universal headband pads like you get on Amazon to improve the comfort of the SolP? I usually start to feel discomfort after around 30-40 minutes. Also have quite a small head so thinking a pad would also help keep the headphones more in line with the ears.

    New Astell&Kern CA1000T impressions thread.

    Thanks so much. One other quick question I had - can I use the CA1000T as a USB DAC connected to an iPad? Was thinking I could for example use the iPad as as the interface with the Acro doing the decoding and amplification.

    New Astell&Kern CA1000T impressions thread.

    Hi everyone. I wanted to ask about the performance of the CA1000T - specifically with Tidal. As has been called out in reviews and several times in this thread, it can be sluggish with third party apps. From what I have gathered, some have been improved (e.g., Qobuz) and some can be sped up...

    THE WATERCOOLER HEADPHONE EDITION – Headphones, Amps, DACs, and desktop/home audio related – a freewheeling discussion of gear, impressions, music, and musings.

    Hi all. Was wondering if anyone has perhaps compared the A&K CA1000T and the Naim Uniti Atom HE? This would be for all all-in-one to use with full size headphones. Transportability of the Acro is a plus but not mandatory.

    In the same boat. Really happy with it. Though I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t enticed by the PB5 to pair it with, especially for full size headphones ☺️

    iBasso DX300 MAX Dual AK4499 Snapdragon 660 Octa-Core 6GB RAM 128GB ROM **NEW Firmware:** 2.03 Available.

    Suspect it’s got to do with the issue raised over the last few months of ultimate mode not working properly (degraded sound) which would tie into it not getting hot.

    Ibasso PB5 the next dedicated portable Amplifier

    I’d be interested in trying that out, though would want iBasso to first fix the issue with the latest DX300MAX firmware which leads to sound degradation in Ultimate mode.

    When is the XP1 expected to be generally available? Also, seems like the “distributor” page on the website isn’t working.

    Ear concern

    I get that when my sinuses are clogged and have head pressure. It sounds like my ear is a speaker “clipping”. That’s my cue for nasal spray / rinse and if need be antihistamine to clear the head.
