    Nevermind, just realized the higher capacity cards are not micro. My bad.

    Does anyone know if a higher capacity 256 GB MicroSD Card will be compatible and play in the AK240?

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    ....Creating playlists using the AK240 is slow and laborious, especially when considering large playlists.   Is there a simpler way to generate playlists thru the use of the PC and transferring the file into the AK240? So far I've tried MediaMonkey, FooBar and Notepad to generate lists...

    Brand New : Tralucent Audio Ref.1 Too & original Ref.1

    Monoboy, Congratulations on your new babies! Yep. Everything you say I'll have to agree with. My ie800's sound very pedestrian now since moving into the Ref1's. Just nothing else like it. And yes, they sound great now, but 200-250 hrs of burn in and these babies have really settle in very...

    Brand New : Tralucent Audio Ref.1 Too & original Ref.1

    All is good. Didn't intend to stir the pot on wether to own these IEMs. I just offered up an alternative to what was suggested here in the community. If that's a game changer for you, at least you can make a more informed buying decision based on our collective experiences and opinions. I came...

    Brand New : Tralucent Audio Ref.1 Too & original Ref.1

    Monoboy, I understand your concern. IMO it's a design flaw inherent with the 2-pin prong. I had this happen to me after I received my Heir 8.a's. I felt the same way, spending hard earned cash on a custom, I faulted "the wizard" . After searching this forum, I found the problem wasn't exclusive...

    The gel glue dot just needs a gentle scraping off with a small pin or something comparable. Gel dot remains in a tacky state. The glue dot's main selling point is for example to adhere let's say photos to a backing, with the ability to remove it at a later date, keeping the original state of the...

    Brand New : Tralucent Audio Ref.1 Too & original Ref.1

    Just an FYI.  My right side iem cable continues to pop out of Ref 1 socket. I'm somewhat concerned about losing any earpiece. I have also had this problem with my Heir 8.a's as well. I'm not comfortable with liquid glue and my clumsiness. Alas, found a better solution. Glue Dots.   I used...

      about the music: So intense. Its tempo, so driven and energetic, to be sure. Just when its getting apocalyptic the music brings you back from the edge to a glorious sunrise of warmth and real feeling.    My piling on the superlatives still won't begin to do this piece justice........ The...

    Brand New : Tralucent Audio Ref.1 Too & original Ref.1

    I hear you. Don't get me wrong. I've been listening to the ie800's for 3-4 months now. Very good iems. Like I mentioned, the ie800's signature seems to me to be inside my head and very well balanced in its presentation. But, the bass responsiveness doesn't come close to the Ref1 iems. Its in...

    Getting to know my Ref1 now and I'm putting it up to some challenging paces. I listen to most all genres of music. And if anyone has recorded music suggestions for what may be a giant killer to most gear, please put it out there. I'd like to give it a go.   My current portable rig consists of...

    Brand New : Tralucent Audio Ref.1 Too & original Ref.1

      I run/ran the ie800 in balanced mode. Better imaging I believe. Its soundstage seems more inside my head than in front of me. Bass response is decent, but doesn't even come close to the detail, texture and punch the Ref1 can reproduce. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how I look at...

    Gotta post here and just publicly thank Gavin for the Ref 1. Just received my pair Friday. So pumped! I've been listening a bit here and there, still giving the Ref1 time to burn in. It's been 48 hours so far. They do sound awesome right now.......not sure of what IEMs seem to settle in at. 100...

    Reply to review by 'rrdubbs' on item 'Jerry Harvey Audio Sirens Series Roxanne Custom IEM'

    Awesome review! What about the wait time on the Roxannes? The reason I haven't pulled the trigger on these, was the long wait. Hoping that after it's initial intro and the rush of orders, I'd look into pickin up on these beauts at a later date. How long from placing the order til delivery?

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    With foobar's Lyric Show 3 I can get all lyrics to album in a couple clicks. I'm just using mp3tag to confirm the lyrics are present in the tag.

    Never mind. I had to tweak out Lyric Show in foobar preferences. I changed all lyrics to show in tag LYRICS for both categories synced and unsynced. That seemed to work.

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    Has anyone figured out how to add lyrics to song file's tag? I have tried mp3tag as well as foobar add-on component Lyric Show 3 with no luck. I have text in UNSYNCED LYRICS tag. However it's not showing up in the lyrics box of AK240.

    Well stated. Review is spot on. I have the IE800 balanced version from ALO. This has become my favorite goto setup. I paired this with the AK240 and now my home setup with cans has been neglected. The soundstage here is breathtaking! If your stationary, close your eyes and music extends beyond...

    Following up on what my-200 and Fafner have mentioned several posts back. I'm very impressed with the IE800 and AK240 pairing as well. I have the ALO modified balanced IE800 IEM. Running in balanced mode for two months now, and I have never looked back. The soundstage width and depth...

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    My current DAP is the AK100. I have a number of microSD 64gb cards to add additional storage to my rig. Question: Will the 64gb cards formatted as Fat32 work with the AK240?
