    New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000

    Well OK but it is strange that I feel the perceived difference fairly clearly and through more than one pair of headphones/earphones. Also I'm not the first to say this. :triportsad: Maybe it's like seeing ghosts, everyone disbelieves until they see one for themselves and then it's a...

    New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000

    Upgraded to firmware v1.20 on my SP1000m a few days ago and I could swear the sound has changed for the worse. There is less detail and there is what I can best describe as a slightly 'muffled' sound. I first felt this listening through my Anandas but wasn't convinced but I am also hearing a...

    New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000

    No need to apologise Jason, hope you enjoying your holiday over there. Thanks for that. It would be a great feature to be able to manually connect to Gracenote on existing tracks or albums, is this something you could foresee as a possible future update or is Gracenote just a ripping...

    New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000

    Guys, a couple of questions about ripping using the A&K ripper if I may. 1). Is there a way to force a Gracenote lookup for existing tracks on your machine or does it only work at the time of doing a rip? and 2). Is there a way to manually choose which tracks to rip if you are also doing a...

    Only an idiot would not have done that!! Yep that was me. :dt880smile: Thank you, all good now. Thanks Jason too, I had been using a power outlet, it was just the external USB I hadn't clicked on.

    Anyone using the A&K CD ripper Mk2? Just bought one, connected it up as per manual, inserted a CD, light flashes on ripper for a few moments and a bit of noise with the disc and then nothing else happens. Nothing shows up on my SP1000m, it's like it doesn't know its connected!? I have tried it...

    I also want to check about using the 2.5mm balanced out on the SPKm. It says on the spec sheet only 4 pole supported, does this mean that as the Auriums balanced ports are 3 pin I cannot use a balanced connection between the two? Sorry if silly question.

    I have got a Pathos Aurium home on a trial as I am intrigued to see if there will be a benefit of using an amp with my Sp1000m. I have not got any clever way of switching quickly between A and B so its just swapping cables about which is not ideal but anyway I hoped to hear a discernible...

    I assume none of you guys went ahead and bought them then, or you did and no longer use the site.

    Have you tried amps and decided any benefits weren't worth it for you?

    Cheers guys. I have always wanted to go down the valve route, the nearest I got was the Unison Research Unico was is a hybrid integrated and it had a lovely sound. It is a valve preamp and solid state power but the tubes were not visible. Thanks for the Icon tip. I have also read up on the...

    Thanks creditingkarma and mmxxm. I will probably be using the 1000m more at home than on the go, as since moving last year I don't have an audio setup in the house. So basically it will be my only music source other than my existing music stored on my NAS. Therefore any interest in an dac/amp...

    Hi guys, my name is Steven and recently joined so hello to all. Been a long time owner of the original Ak100 and it has served me well but decided recently it was time for an upgrade so treated myself to a lapis blue Sp1000m and delighted with it. Should I be looking to get a headphone...

    Hi guys, I am just back from a break in Japan with a set of these cans. Was having a demo of a few different pairs in my various jaunts to the amazing headphone stores and was very impressed, they are so comfortable and natural sounding. Anyone else own them? Cheers
