Hi Kevlar397 - it's a great question - and I'm still learning myself! Sometimes I think of purchasing progressively more sophisticated audio equipment the same as I do progressively higher resolution televisions - my eyes are only going to be so good! At the end of the day I realized I liked two...

Milescheng - I’m a big fan of music generally and the “sound” to quote you is important to me too - my first foray into ‘dap’ territory began with the dragonfly - now I have the SR 15. I’m not using the Beyerdynamics anymore and have since replaced them with some Campfire Cascades - and I am a...

Hey people - is anyone else experiencing a serious slowdown on the embedded Tidal app? It was pretty fast even streaming “Masters” but lately no matter where I use the Norma - home WiFi, work WiFi ... Internet and connectivity solid - Tidal just bogs! Takes forever to search - song gaps are...

Mine didn't. It came with plastic screen protectors - I purchased a red SR15 case from the A&K US Site separately. I found what others have said here about the heat to be true - the player did get warm at the beginning - especially when streaming Tidal but over time this lessened and (at least...

Now - my understanding is that Tidal Masters is only available using the desktop Tidal client - not mobile/portable as of yet ...

Excellent solution JasonNYC - worked perfectly - thank you.

I’ve tested it with the AK CD Ripper and I’m REALLY glad to report that it works very very well! Not going to diminish that happiness - I’m genuinely glad. It appears that files are automatically ripped to internal storage - and even manually starting the rip could not find a way to specify...

Don't tease me ..... !

Fair question for sure! I find Tidal sounds generally much better - BUT that is listening to the "new" stuff - - just in case I was "Emperor's New Clothing" myself I had some of my colleagues in the office give the player a whirl using my Amirons and the balanced cable same as I would - and they...

I don’t doubt it - a lot of my collection is older and it wouldn’t surprise me if the quality went up on “newer, enhanced or remastered” recordings - when it was possible to digitize the collection to fit on an iPod which was the standard then - it was the best I knew. Now I know better and I...

I think it would have been better for my first impressions if I didn’t have an older collection of CDs that ripped to 16bit 44.1kHz FLAC ... source material does make a difference. I wish there was a way to improve on that at least - I agree with another poster that the newer stuff on Tidal does...

Thank you pitch_black - so from the review it sounds like I may need to use Android File Transfer for downloaded files of a better quality than the rips I get from CDs .... or .... lower impedance headphones or a combination thereof. *sigh* those Audeze headphones mean business price-wise even...

Brand new - knows little - here to learn - first post Hi people! I have an SR15 - first digital audio player ever (I mean since my first Compaq MP3 portable and a squadron of iPods from my first iPod Mini in lime green to my last Classic and all in between) ... I love music and the idea of it...
