New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000
Dignis case is in stock for anyone who wants one. Also on the wear/ scratches it should be a non issue for any of the models since you can get a full coverage skin from healing shield. I have one on mine and it's fantastic.- MisterNobody

Just ordered one of these, how does it feel in the pocket and is there enough room to say fit a pair of IEM's or a small cable in the top section?- MisterNobody

New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000
Anyone using a carrying case/bag for their SP? I kind if want a felt or similar carry case. Despite having having the leather shell and screen protector I feel I need some sort of carry case as well.- MisterNobody

New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000
It would seem that the SP1000 doesn't charge while being used as a dac with a laptop despite the laptop being plugged in. Either that or something is messed up somewhere. On another note the SP has some damn good battery life.- MisterNobody

I ended up fixing most of what I wanted to. It still baffles me why people name music files with a bunch of underscores, brackets and three digit numbers it just makes everything much more difficult, thank god for Yate. Android files transfer is beyond trash, Commander one has been pretty good...- MisterNobody

New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000
Sat down to finally organize my music collection on the SP, names, albums, proper artists and after looking at all my music which takes up all of one 400gb SD card and the storage on the AK with little more than a GB free between the two I realized I just don't care that much. Maybe another day.- MisterNobody

New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000
I use this exact set up. Plug the SP into your MBP, swipe down the menu on the SP and change the USB mode, just hit the circle. In OSX click the volume icon in the menu bar and ensure the audio output is set to SP1000 and you're done.If you want to take it a step further you can open the midi...- MisterNobody

I was never really a fan of streaming services it was always "what if you're in an area with no service" although my job requires that I go out to sea for extended periods of time so streaming was never really an option for me. I hope you can find something that fits your needs.- MisterNobody

I'm glad I was able to buy the SP1000, I got the black version. I've been using CA Vega and the A&K T1P with it and have been nothing but impressed. I'm excited for the future with this DAP because I plan to buy a pair of full-sized on par with it, looking at the utopias, then eventually a good...- MisterNobody

New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000
This device is absolutely fantastic as well as the T1P. I've always used IEMS and closed back and going to a semi open everything just sounds different I can't describe it but I've really been missing out. I was questioning if maybe it wasn't the best choice to drop so much on a new set up but...- MisterNobody

Can anyone comment on the quality of the healing shield screen protectors? I can't seem to leave **** alone once it's set in place and managed to mess up both of the screen protectors that came with the SP. Luckily I do have the healing shield on the way and will need to be extra cautious until...- MisterNobody

Anyone have the Cordovan lather case, is it worth the money? Considering getting it, the leather case that comes with the player is nice but it's not quite on par with the player it's self.

Just pulled the trigger on the sp1000 and a pair of t1p's. Spent a lot of time going between copper and black and in the end decided on black. Now I gotta pace around and get over the fact that I just dropped 3500 on a dap.- MisterNobody

Sounds like I should go with the cu then based on the vega and my music preferences or am I wrong in thinking that? Dropping this kind of cash I wanna make sure I get the best. Any comment on the t1p?- MisterNobody

Really close to pulling the trigger on a copper or black one should I upgrade from my ak240 BN? This will also be used as a dac for my laptop. I will be using a pair of ca vega but was also considering getting a pair of t1p, are they a good complement or should I get something else? I listen to...- MisterNobody

I'm looking at getting one of the two is there one you like better in particular? I would be using the device as a portable player and as a dac for my laptop. I use CA Vega and listen to mainly hairstyle, jazz and trance.- MisterNobody

The Astell & Kern AK240
If anyone is considering buying 2 400gb sd cards, filling them up then swapping cards when needed, doing it properly of course, don't bother. The AK240 doesn't like that in the least and will format the card at the drop of a hat or say it's damaged. I speak from experience, don't try this it...- MisterNobody

The Astell & Kern AK240
I joined the drop for the Blue note ak240, as a huge lover of Jazz music I couldn't pass this up. I see the specs say the largest SD card it can accept is 256Gb but I'm sure there's been firmware updates since the release of this. Has anyone tried a bigger SD card and know if it would work with...- MisterNobody

Ensuring I have every set up for optimal sound (ZXR and Schiit stack).
I'm fairly new to the audio game and I wanted to verify I have everything set up so I'm getting optimal audio quality. I'm currently using a Soundblaster ZxR connected to a Schiit Stack (Magni 2 Uber/Modi 2 Uber) which is driving a pair of Mayflower Fostex T50RP MK3s. My set up is as follows ...- MisterNobody
