Is the file structure sorted out now ? Can you search within artists and albums ?
Hi folks at AR. I have a few questions for you and hopefully you can help with them.
- I've read that my AR-M2 does not actually sound at its best with low impedance IEM (I use UE900s at 30 Ohms) even though I think they produce a fantastic sound. Do you think a 100 Ohms impedance adapter would improve the sound?
- Also the battery only lasts around 6 hours on Flac CD quality. What kind/model/brand of battery could I buy in order to replace the original one when it wears out?
- About a case, is there any case available with some bumper protection?
Huge thanks for any info and help.
It just means there's less noise. Also, ar m20 has a better soundstage
Hi, Andrew -
Are you using IEMs or headphones for comparison? Do you use the same pair with both units?
Thanks,
Brian
I would describe the MS-AK120 as the more analytical, while the AR-M2 is more musical. I felt that AR-M2 is less fatiguing for a concentrated long period, but there are either moments or musical pieces where the analytical powers of the MS-AK120 seems to be appropriate and required.
The next step - for another post - would be the addition of the Questyle QP1R to the mix...
Both DAPs are large and relatively heavy - still very portable - but require some careful handling.
I, personally, like the size & weight of the AR-M2 for my grip, but it's not a device you can hold for long...
The build quality seems strong, so I guess - but haven't tried... - that it would survive the occasional drop. But the screen - like all of them - might sustain some serious damage, which is way a case is definitely a must for all these gadgets.
I wouldn't describe the AR-M2 on its own as slippery, and with the case the grip is even better.
I would def consider this, if this is the only issue you have with the device.
