I'm not too concerned about the power as I've got plenty of very easy to drive IEMs and cans. You make a good and valid point about the RFI noise. I did a LOT of reading up on various reviews and comments online about that, and it seems to be a 50/50 split as to how much of a problem it really...

Thank you for the responses. @Airsculpture - I've tried every gain setting and it's the same issue. @samandhi - I'm using an AMP 14 card. EDIT - it's just me being an idiot. Sorted. As an unrelated final note, I'm considering investing in an AMP 13 card, as from what I've read the...

I am a new DX320 owner. RE the PO and LO ports - every IEM and full size headphone I've tried in the PO port sounds very quiet regardless of how easy or hard they are to drive or what cable termination they have, and with the volume at max 63 they're about the same volume level as using the LO...

I'm happy to put an amp on the backburner for now, but keep it up the sleeve for further investigation later on

Thanks. So more than adequate from single ended, with benefits still to be had from going balanced but not essential with either of my headphone choices?

Thanks. Amazing isn't it - all the Googling and research and the one in-depth review I miss not only gives an answer, but is also on head-fi!:smile:

Hi all I only post very rarely due to an incredibly busy home and work life, so I hate to be that person who just logs in once in a blue moon to get questions answered, but I've exhausted all other avenues... I've got a Plenue L on the way (retiring an AK240) and have a couple of questions RE...

Laugh is all we can do at the moment. Ridiculous.

  Am I right in thinking there DID used to be an option to switch it off?  I'm sure I remember seeing it in the options, but never used it so it could just be a false memory.

  Unless I'm being stupid or it's well hidden (could go either way), there doesn't appear to be an option for turning off auto scan.   I've sort-of got to the bottom of (but not resolved) the problem - if you select the PLAY ALL option at any folder level, then the player will not remember...

  Nothing doing, unfortunately - just to be clear, the problem occurs when the unit has been switched back on from being switched off.  In other words, this morning I've been listening to a 4 CD album (located on the micro SD) and had just got to the 6th track of CD 2.  I then switched the...

  I formatted the cards in various formats several times, and (as I said in my previous post) also used the player itself to format them, but it's the same problem.   99.99999recurring% convinced it's a particular issue with 1.25 and nothing to do with the cards, the format they are in, or...

  Nice one, thanks.       I'm using a Samsung 128gb, the same one I was using before upgrading to 1.25.  I've tested 32 and 64gb cards by Kingston and Sandisk, and the same issue is there with all of them.  I even formatted the cards on the AK itself as well, just to make 100% sure that...

Took the plunge and decided to upgrade to 1.25, which seems to be causing a few issues with the micro SD card.  Firstly it keeps unmounting and remounting the card every time I switch it on (which it didn't before) and, more annoyingly, it never remembers what song was last playing from the...

Right, gotcha.  Thanks.

  Thanks.  That's what I thought, but I read of people saying they are using TRRS adapters.  So, I'm assuming, they've made their own adapter?

Stupid/basic question alert...   I've recently got hold of some Shure 846s (which I am loving), and am intrigued about trying them through the balanced output on the 240.  Before I blow any money on an upgrade to a balanced cable, I want a little cheap and easy demo first, but confused as to...

No worries - I don't like Apple's products at all and never have done, so I've never owned an iPod and am only going by what I remember from demoing and friends' players.   Yeah, I know every player out there has its basic foibles, but this one took me massively by surprise because I've never...

I can't speak for phones - never used one as a DAP, nor do I have the desire to.   Correct me if I'm wrong, and not that I've ever owned one, but I'm pretty sure the iPod could also manage this simple task.

I hope so. I have e-mailed them, but being an iRiver owner of old, I know exactly what their "customer service" is like...

I'd rather not start a 30+ minute song from the beginning when I've reached halfway through and get to a place (i.e. my work) where I have to switch the player off.

Considering the cheapo little Sansa I had several years ago managed it, the fact that a £2000+ top-of-the-range 21st century DAP can't is rather embarrassing, both for the manufacturer and the person who bought it trying to justify the cost of it (not that I paid anywhere near that much, but...

Not when every single MP3 player/DAP I've owned in the last 15 years has had this function as standard...

There must be a non-specific after-market case that will fit it, even if it's just a cheapo mobile phone case... Given that the AK240 case, whilst lovely to look at, feel and smell, is next to useless at protecting the unit, I'm just using the case that came with my RHA 750 'phones - perfect...

If it's just paused and I resume play without turning the unit off, it resumes from where it left off.  It's if it's switched off (via the power button, or going to sleep of its own accord) and then switched back on again it starts at the beginning of the song.   I did wonder if it was a...
