Naim Audio Uniti Atom Headphone Edition
Totally agree with you with regards to fuses actually located in devices - there is no way I would touch those (my system fuses are all untouched but all original mains leads have been replaced) To be honest this was a hole I have not considered going into before.. The fuse change was...- Thepantaloonduck

Naim Audio Uniti Atom Headphone Edition
When I went to my dealer to discuss power cable upgrade options (after 6 months burn in) for the HE, he instead recommended simply replacing the original Naim power lead fuse with a Synergistic purple fuse - here in the UK there is a fuse in the mains plug BTW. He lent me a cable and I did an...- Thepantaloonduck

Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery
Hi there You are asking about the KANN and its gremlins and I think somethings have been missed - so here are my thoughts: Re sound quality and ability to drive full sized headphones - it does sound good and happily drives my Sennheiser HD800s - but in my view to get it to sound its best with...- Thepantaloonduck

Naim Audio Uniti Atom Headphone Edition
Hi there I was wondering how you are finding the Expanse with the HE in comparison to the Utopias I am looking to upgrade from my existing HD800s and the Utopia 2020s and Expanse are top of my shopping list - but I and am getting mixed messages as to their suitability as to pairing with the HE...- Thepantaloonduck

Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery
Hi Jason I decided to pull my Kann out of storage and was expecting there to be at least one firmware update being available as I remembered this being promised - both as a result of the bricking issue and Tidal debacle… Update menu option on the Kann doesn’t show any being available - so...- Thepantaloonduck

Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery
Hi there I feel that people are missing the point… Yes, the KANN does have hardware limitations which make it more difficult, but not impossible, to update the firmware to a TIDAL compatible version, or provide alternatives) - but its not the main issue here. Its Astell & Kerns response to...- Thepantaloonduck

Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery
Hi There its been a long time since I have commented here as, to be honest, I’ve pretty much given up with my KANN as its now relegated to being used only occasionally as I am not able to travel… This is yet another example of A&K failing its users (remember the software upgrade promised, but...- Thepantaloonduck

Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery
To be honest I have given up any hope that the KANN will be updated to provide any enhanced functionality but I thought I would give it one more go to see if A&K have any intention of ever updating the firmware in any way as I need to decide whether to keep or replace it - so I asked the...- Thepantaloonduck

Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery
Hi As having a fully working browser on the KANN would make life so much easier I emailed A&K support with a link to the video and to ask them how to do this - their reply was This customer might access brower though installed apk, but we are not sure which route he reached there. Regards...- Thepantaloonduck

Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery
Hi there I think this may be down to the way in which the KANN does (or more correctly does not) deal with corrupt file contents and bad read/writes to the internal and external storage. If one or more of your playlists was corrupted when copied over to the KANN then this may have killed the...- Thepantaloonduck

Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery
Sorry Jason but I must disagree Yes the Kann uses an old version of Android - but it is being sold to customers who are buying Kanns today and expect at least two years support going forward... This is supposedly a premium product and I really expected it to be supported as such. You also say...- Thepantaloonduck

Astell & Kern KANN - DAP with Massive Storage & Battery
First of all Hi - this is my first post here I have been lurking around here since I bought my Kann as it was the only place I could get any form of sensible guidance and advice as to fixing the bugs and software idiosyncracies of the device... I bought mine in January 2019 I have just...- Thepantaloonduck
