    Acoustic Research M2 Audiophile-Grade Hi-Res Portable

    HiByMusic will run on the AR M2 but, if I remember correctly as it has been a while, I had to use APK Editor Pro on the HyByMusic APK to allow it to install on the lower version of Android. I'm running HiByMusic V3.0.0 build 5481 which I downloaded from APKPure. Technically, I think it should...

    Acoustic Research M2 Audiophile-Grade Hi-Res Portable

    I don't know if any of these will help but here is what I would try: - Leave it plugged in for a while to see if it starts charging after a while. - While plugged in as above, hold down the power button to see if it will restart. - Plug it into a computer to see if the different power source...

I seem to remember it was stated by AR that they wanted to avoid using filters in order to achieve the best sound from the amp...

    Acoustic Research M2 Audiophile-Grade Hi-Res Portable

    I found this PS Audio video helpful a while back in explaining the difference: Google also came up with this: https://www.audioholics.com/audio-amplifier/amplifier-classes From the above article, it seems like Class AB can operate in Class A mode at low power. I have read elsewhere that the...

    Acoustic Research M2 Audiophile-Grade Hi-Res Portable

    Before purchasing the AR M2, I had been using USB Audio Player Pro (the app that AR Music Player Pro is based on) specifically due to it's ability to bypass the Android system and interact directly with external DAC's. It certainly would be odd if the version used by AR somehow does not fully...

    Acoustic Research M2 Audiophile-Grade Hi-Res Portable

    That was probably me! I notice at least one more has sold since I purchased mine just after Christmas. I'm pretty blown away by the sound quality of the M2. It has essentially replaced everything I have used up until now. I was using a DarkVoice 336SE Tube amp or Topping A30 fed by a...
