Hi everyone - I just got the Red and having issues playing 768 khz upsampled PCM in Roon output to Wandla DAC via I2S. Sound is garbled/distorted. DSD won't play at all via I2S; DSD 64 plays via AES. Any ideas of what could be the issue? EDIT: Everything works now as it should after Wandla...- raps1514

Now it’s time to wonder if there will be an audible difference between the two boards with the GS FW as it relates to the “Hardware Voltage Adjustment” feature.- raps1514

Apologies if this was already answered, but…will original Wandla owners opting for the GoldenSound upgrade be able to take advantage of the “Hardware Voltage Adjustment” feature?- raps1514

CanJam Global 2024 General
Good to see CanJam returning to so many cities. Will go on the record and say that no Chicago this year, however, is a disappointment.- raps1514

Astell&Kern Launches KANN Ultra DAP and AK HB1 Bluetooth Amp/DAC
@LFC_SL - re your post above: I've seen it mentioned on a certain retailer's site that the Ultra is indeed capable of driving Stealth / Expanse. I cannot agree - not by my standards, anyway.- raps1514

Astell&Kern Launches KANN Ultra DAP and AK HB1 Bluetooth Amp/DAC
Non-scientific estimates: 1. Balanced HP Out - Low Gain: Yes (too loud to get anywhere near 100%) 2. Balanced HP Out - Medium Gain: Yes 3. Balanced HP Out - Super High: Not quite - more like 60% - but close enough. Edit: In pre-out mode - volume on Ultra is at max / 150 - gain setting cannot...- raps1514

Astell&Kern Launches KANN Ultra DAP and AK HB1 Bluetooth Amp/DAC
Of the ones I've spent good time with and regardless of price - these stand out: DX320 LPGT Cayin N8ii Yes, adding the PA10 to the Ultra improves the IEM performance - to me - giving it that fuller, enveloping character.- raps1514

Astell&Kern Launches KANN Ultra DAP and AK HB1 Bluetooth Amp/DAC
UI and Operation: I really like the Crimson UI and HD screen - the saturated colors really pop and make album covers look beautiful. Performance is fast and responsive, too, though I think there are bugs: AK Connect is not detecting my NAS and I'm getting a weird error at the system update...- raps1514

Astell&Kern Launches KANN Ultra DAP and AK HB1 Bluetooth Amp/DAC
Received yesterday. Disappointed to find the Ultra unable to drive my DCA Stealth without clipping, like the Max before it. Pre-out into PA10 is a surprisingly good, desktop-grade experience. I’m finding this combo to have strong imaging, separation, bass, and a slightly warm character with...- raps1514
