If you want something with a better UI - the closest I've heard in terms of SQ is the Acoustic Research M2, but it's nearly twice the price and I still don't think it should sounds as good. As long as you can cope with the UI, then the Teac is the best I've heard.

Having lived with this dap for a few years now and with them finally updating to include support for flac 192 and hapless playback on everything - I have to say it's still the best dap ive heard. I recently listened to the Astell & Kern AK380 and expected to be blown away, but I much prefer my...

I'm still using this dap daily and since the update to allow lossless playback it is now bordering on perfection. I don't mind the basic interface, it's the sound quality that I adore. The only feature I'm now still waiting for is the promised 24/192 FLAC playback so that I can tag my 24/192...

Well I'm still getting a half second pause between all my tracks - or is this only supported with Wav files too? I listen to a lot of live albums and concept albums so gaps are really annoying

Okay I'll try converting to wave for the 192khz files, bit of a shame though. How about gapless? Anyone managed to find this option?

Also, just tried to play a 24-bit / 192Khz file and it said "not supported" - although the spec sheet says that it should - anyone else had any issues with this?

Hey. Finally got my HAP90SD and I'm very impressed with the sound quality. As good as you led me to believe :) However, I have one major gripe. It's advertised as having gapless playback, but I can't seem to find the option to turn this on. Any ideas?

Very tempted by this - I'm torn between this and the AK100 II, but that's a lot more expensive and doesn't have the iPhone compatibility for use with Qobuz etc. What's the new firmware like?

  Hi vrapan,   They actually have a microphone built-in to the side of the earcup for answering calls, so this can be done wirelessly.           Hi danielcalutul,   Glad to hear you're enjoying your H6 headphones - they really are a great sounding product.  In regards to your...

Innovative B&O PLAY interface and design takes wireless headphones to the next level        For a long time wireless headphones with Active Noise Cancellation have been big, clumsy and short of battery lifetime. For the first time Danish design and sound aficionado, B&O PLAY by BANG &...

No problem L0SLobos,   Yes, I've listened to the B&W P3s also. I really like the P3s, but I much prefer the sound of the BeoPlay H2s.  I'd say the P3s are a very impressive sound for the money with a decent mid-range, but I just find them a little dull and unexciting, lacking a little in...

Just been listening to these headphones at the new Bang & Olufsen store in Leeds. They actually sound rather impressive for the price. Much warmer sound than their larger siblings the H6 and a heck of a lot easier to drive too, though the finish isn't quite as luxurious. Whilst the bass is...

I'll also add that I'd prefer it to either be a 1 box solution, or like I have now, a 2 box solution that sticks together

Hi guys,   Looking to pick your brains again. I currently have the following portable rig:   iPhone 5S V-Moda Vamp Versa B&W P7   It's a good setup and I enjoy using it, but I'm missing some features from my previous rig, which was an Astell & Kern, primarily the ability to playback...

Probably old news, but just plugged my Astell & Kern AK100 into my laptop and it just updated it with DSD support - yay!  :)

We have just got these in at Superfi - I'll post my impressions shortly

Hi guys,   I'm just starting an interest check thread for stocking the Astell & Kern products at Superfi around the UK. As some of you know I work in the Leeds branch and I use an AK100 myself and we have had a few customers ask about the Astell & Kern products, so I'm hoping to get it into...

we don't have stock at Superfi yet - although I'm currently on holiday, so it may have shown up - I'm not sure.

hey guys, thanks for the replies - I didn't realise that USB products for Android phones existed - I'll have to start looking into that :)  I looked into the HRT and it seems they do one called the Headstreamer Mobile that works with Android.  Would I need a better source if I'm using a DAC/Amp...

No-one?

Hi guys,   I'm quite interested in this Spotify lark as the content seems to be getting better all the time and as a Pink Floyd fan, the recent addition of their library appeals to me too. The problem is I currently only have Spotify on my Samsung Galaxy Note and suffice to say the quality is...

  I like the M500, I find them to be quite detailed, I probably slightly prefer the warmer sound of the P5s, though I preferred the Momentums over both of these sets of cans. The P7 to me has the detail and the warmth, without getting too muddy. It still seems to be a coloured sound, but much...

Hey guys,   I work at Superfi in Leeds, and the B&W rep has just brought us a pair to listen to, and I can safely say that these are the best portable headphones I've listened to, and definitely the best that we sell (for my listening taste). I just compared them directly with the Sennheiser...

Quote:   Hi, thanks for your interest - that's because they're not on yet - they will be starting tomorrow at 20:00 GMT at 99p starting bid - let the bidding battles commence - hehe  :P
