I don’t recall having this problem with 4.5.0. I’m using version 4.6.0 now and screen timeout with Apple Music works as it should.

@JasonNYC, is there any update on the availability of Apple Music Classical? Thanks.

That’s great. Thank you Jason 🙂

The Kann Ultra has plenty of output, but it started to distort at moderately loud volumes with Dan Clark Audio Aeon 2 Noire and E3 models. I think those headphones are notoriously demanding. I have no such issue with the Focal Stellia I now have! I did own the M17 for a while but didn't really...

Hmm, it’s not doing that for me. However, I just tried it again with the display on, and it skips one track as it should. When the screen is off it skips several tracks.

It’s great to have Roon now! I remain very impressed with this player. It is a joy to interact with and sounds great. Jason, I notice one small problem with Roon (as I previously highlighted on the Acro CA1000 thread): while using Roon, pressing the physical “next track” button actually skips a...

I am getting exactly the same with my newly-acquired N7. I haven't measured the temperature, but I can believe 51 degrees C!

One thing to consider between the CA1000 and the CA1000T is that the T’s balanced output level is capped at 125/150 when in Super gain mode and not connected to power (volume level can be increased at lower gain settings but will not go any louder). In the end I returned mine and stuck to my...

Very true and thanks for clarifying 😊. I still want that cap removed!

I have just realised that the volume cap applies only when the device is not being charged.

@JasonNYC, I continue to be very impressed and happy with my CA1000T. However, I must once again request that the crazy volume cap for balanced output be lifted. I bought this device (and the CA1000 before it) partially because of its plentiful power to drive my HD800S via Roon and its...

@JasonNYC, I’m really keen to hear confirmation that the volume “cap” of 125 via balanced output is going to be lifted very soon. It’s pretty ridiculous for A&K to sell you a powerful player but not permit you to use it!

I had the same issues when I had the SP2000T, particularly with Qobuz high-res files. I actually sent it back and got a replacement but it was no different. Qobuz loaded the files much, much more quickly on my IPad. In the end I switched back to Tidal, as its MQA files are smaller. I’ve not had...

The CA1000T’s volume restriction of 125 out of 150 when using a balanced headphone connection is unlikely to help driving the Susvara. I’m hoping this restriction will be lifted soon by firmware update. The CA1000 is not limited to 125, by the way.

Yes, it is a DAP, DAC, multi-amp Swiss Army knife-type device! With streaming, storage (256GB + micro SD), Roon-ready and powerful and configurable amplification it's all that's needed for a great quality music device. Just add headphones. As to which ones, that's a tricky one. Personally, after...

Not really what you were asking for, but I got the Nanuk 903 the other day as a safe transport case, based on a suggestion by @Nogoodnamesleft for the CA1000. After removing the pre-cut (well, mostly) section and making a couple of extra cutouts with a sharp blade, it‘s a snug fit!

Positive review of the CA1000T... https://www.audiophile-heaven.com/2023/02/astellkern-acro-ca1000t-transportable-tube-dap-the-mightiest-music-player.html George likes it as much as I do!

@JasonNYC, I've also seen on the CA1000T that I can't increase volume above 125 unless connected to a charger (the message "BAL. When connected it is limited to MAX 125" is displayed). I hadn't seen this on the CA1000. Is this a new restriction? Thanks, Tony

@JasonNYC, I just thought I’d mention a small issue I have with Roon on my CA1000T, which was the same on the CA1000. When using the physical track skip forward button, the player jumps forward by three or four tracks. The on-screen controls work as they should. Thanks, Tony

I haven't connected mine to my Mac mini yet. As it runs my Roon core, I only restart it occasionally.

Just quickly before I must force myself to switch it off and get some sleep…! I was thinking about how I might describe the differences, and I would say the sound is more focussed; it’s as if each element of the music becomes more distinct, yet fully cohesive. There was a softness to the...

Got my CA1000T today and haven’t stopped listening to it since! I loved my CA1000 but couldn’t resist the temptation to get the new model. Boy, I am so glad I did! This thing is just wonderful. I did a brief comparison between the two by grouping them in Roon. At first I wasn’t sure the...

Yes, I’ve tried the crossfeed. The Hugo 2 I owned before had it too. I found that it really only helps where you have stereo recordings that have hard-panned instruments, either to the right or left. Not a problem when listening through speakers, as you hear both channels still with both ears...

Another reason for my hesitation in jumping on the CA1000T straight away is that when I first got the CA1000 it was as a replacement for the SP2000T. Although I didn’t have long to compare the two before I sold the SP2000T, in like-for-like settings comparisons, I found the CA1000 to sound...
