    Astel & Kern AK 120 and the Tesla Model S

    Astel & Kern AK 120 and the Tesla Model S

    Thanks for the post.  I had spoken to the service manager and the comment was passed along.  They are well aware of the inability to use iDevices but they were not familiar with the issue with the AK.  I wish they had put in anAUX.  The bluetooth is a wee bit flakey with audio playback.

    Astel & Kern AK 120 and the Tesla Model S

    Does anyone know if the AK 120 will play back on a Tesla Model S.  The car has multiple USB ports which work fine for some DAPs but most notably do not work with iphones/ipads.  There is no stereo AUX input.   Not a deal killer but it is a factor I want to nail down before purchasing an AK...

    The Astell & Kern AK120

    Really? I am sorry to hear that.  I think the MBP sounds fine on flight while trying to avoid the social disorder in the seat next to me but I can not imagine that it is not buried by the AK120

    New to audiophilia. Questions...

    I really don't mean to stir the pot but what format is your music in? If you have all of your music in 128 kbps mp3s or AAC files purchased from iTunes you might want to start a bit lower and start converting your music over to at least a higher bit rate Mmp3 and preferably a lossless format...

    Rate the video games you're currently playing

    Quote:     I would strongly recommend Bioshock 1 (I think it is the best of the three). I did not care as much for Bioshock 2 - it was technically well executed but it felt like more of the same (it was done by a different studio) and brought very little innovation to the table.  ...

    Rate the video games you're currently playing

    I am currently playing The last of us and State of Decay.  I love the polish and look of Last of Us but I really enjoy the mechanics of State of Decay.  State of Decay has some clear issues (but they are acceptable for a $20 game).   Once it makes it over to the PC and clean up some bugs, I...

    Rate the video games you're currently playing

    Sorry to jump into the middle of the conversation but I think a 9 is spot on correct.  I really enjoy the look, pacing and story of the game.  I am not entire enthused with the controls.  Maybe I have played too many FPSs or spent too much time with keyboard and mouse but I am most of the way...

    Portable Amplification for AK120

    Hello,   I will be getting a a AK 120 as a new DAP and I am curious what amplification are people using with the AK 120? I am particularly interested in what people are using to drive LCD-2 or LCD-3 headphones.  Without amplification I will be using it with Shure SE535s but I am probably...

    Digital Fix in Williamsburg, Brooklyn has some nice AT headphones, Grado's up to 325is and some other good (though not top end phones). The owner, David is really nice and can get most things but he is a bit constrained as to what he can keep in stock. Everything in stock is available to listen...

    USB to Cinema Amp?

    Hello Many sound cards and some motherboards provide an spdif out. Most DACs can take either coax or optical. I have a creative labs card which 3.5mm digital out. I connect it to my lexicon MC12B using an RCA cable with a mini adapter on one end. I works great. Depending upon your sound card...

    Moving to NYC?

    If you don't intend on staying here for more than a couple of years, stay in the city. My wife and I eventually bought space in Williamsburg Brooklyn but that was after years in the city. If you might only be here for a couple of years then you should spend it in Manhattan. All of the...

    ModWright DVP-S9000ES

    Hello I was wondering if anyone had experience with any of the SACD mods from modWright for the Sony DVP-S9000ES. I am currently sing an unmodded player and am trying to determine if I want to send it in for modification. Thank you for any comments you might have. Cheers
