So, seems that Hifiman is selling "open box" Ananda with quite some discount. Including EU 😁. Ordered! https://store.hifiman.com/index.php/ananda-openbox.html

Thank you @Broquen and @miserybeforethemusic! I'll see whether I can find a bargain Hifiman Ananda in my area.

Thanks both. @Broquen , indeed the clears are clearly out of budget 😁. Interesting that both you and @miserybeforethemusic suggest the HiFiman Ananda. I was looking at the Shure SRH1840, any experience with those?

Let's say around 500€. Preferably with wide sound stage, neutral sound.

Looking for a good pair of open-back headphones to use with the SR25. I'm not an expert at all, but I did read somewhere that the Sennheiser HD600 and HD660S are too hard to drive reasonably with the SR25. Any tips for a newbie like me are more than welcome.

Same question from me but for the upcoming Spotify HiFi? Or is it too soon to ask this...

Hello, Not sure whether this is against the rules but I'm selling my SR25 + leather case. If you're interested, please PM me. Not having enough posts yet to be able to put it on the "marketplace".

Just to confirm that adding the extra adapter did the trick! I can now choose the "host" based on whether I put the adapter on my phone side or on the SR25 side. Grtz

Thanks for the suggestion @rlw6534! @CountXero, I think the power is sufficient since it works when the host is identified correctly. You did get me thinking though and stumble on this: Now I'm using a direct USB-C to USB-C cable. I ordered an USB-C OTG adapter to which I can then attach the...

Well, I am aware of those indeed but when the SR25 is "master", the DAC/disk button is disabled and it just sees my phone as an external hard drive (the other button is enabled then). The only way of switching master is by unplugging and plugging the cable again, and hope my phone becomes...

Hi, I'm connecting the SR25 now and then to my smartphone (OnePlus 8 Pro), using a USB-C to USB-C cable for using the DAC. Now, I think dependent on the battery level of both devices, it seems that in one moment the SR25 is "master" and sees my phone as an external disk, and I cannot enable...

Yes, works for me too! Happy 😁

FYI, a reply from TIDAL also just came in regarding the non-ability to log in using the sideloaded APK:

Hi! Having the same issue on my SR25. There is a discussion already started around this on the SE200 forum: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/astell-kern-a-futura-se200-first-dap-with-multiple-dacs-head-fi-tv.935878/post-16152558 Suggested work-around for now is to log in via facebook, which...

Well, some good news, some bad news. I managed to get a facebook account with my preferred e-mail address after revalidation from facebook. So I've both now with the same mail address. The bad news is that it seems that I already connected TIDAL once in the past to probably my old facebook...

Thanks for the suggestion! The problem is I would also probably have to change my mail address in TIDAL then, maybe it'll work but it sounds too much of a hassle, so I'll wait some more days :wink:. I did get in touch with facebook support and awaiting a reply. In the meantime, I got a reply...

Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, I removed my Facebook account a while ago. Also when I try to reopen it, it seems Facebook decided to disable it permanently and I'm not allowed to open it again 🤨. Anyhow, I did try the other login possibilities, Apple and Twitter, both did not work, I get...

I'm having the exact same problem on my SR25. Would be great to have this solved.
