der Gents,
what do you think? Is there any difference between AK10 and Beyerdynamic?

Only the brandname, but bypacked cables in Europe still have the AK label.

Thanks for comment.
And what about firmware? In European version of Beyerdynamic it is possible to dismiss volume limit to have possibility to use with heavy cans ~600ohm.

You can, If you want to use cans like Sennheiser 650. I use mostly in ears, the Grado GR10 and the Senn IE80, and in case of the latter I dismiss the volume limit because i like the grunt necessary for bass heavy music like Primus.

there are 3 little buttons on one side, all you have to do is pushing the middle one and hold a few seconds. Than you can turn the volume wheel as far as you like.

Thanks for the advice, but this trick doesn't works for AK10, this is instruction for beyerdynamic. What I should do in case of AK10?

I thought they were authentic, if not , I hope people with an AK10 can help you further, will some research myself as this is rather strange

I just tried it with the AK10 and the red light is lit at max volume and pressing the middle button for a few seconds doesn't do anything.  I think you might be SOL when trying to drive 600ohm cans with this little thing.

The Non-EU version of the A200p does not have a volume limit... does the A&K 10 even have one?
 
Disengaging the limit on the EU-A200p is a bit more complicated and involves disconnecting everything. Just looked it up:
*) disconnect all cables
*) power on the device
*) lock the keys (i.e. power key in lock position)
*) press the Play-button for about 5sec. Power-LED should flash purple and turn red. Volume limit is turned off now.
*) Power off
*) re-connect cables and power on device
 
Same goes for re-enabling the limit (LED flashes purple and then blue in that case). Use on your own risk -- listening at high volumes can damage your hearing etc.
 
Maybe you want to try that on your A&K 10?

 

[pilgrim-frw]

Thanks for advice . I did this. Unfortunately it doesn't works with AK10.

Sorry to hear that. I did not even know the A&K version actually has a limitation. Did you ask your retailer? What did the product description say? The A200p non-eu version explicitly states compatibility with high-impedance headphones up to 600Ohm while the eu-version talks about 32Ohm.
 
Furthermore the limitation is said to be in effect only when connected to a smartphone. Did you try to connect the A&K to your computer?

Has anyone tried the a200p or ak10 with the Roxannes? Wondering if i should pull the trigger. Thanks.

In case anyone is wondering, the AK10 works with the iPhone 6. It does sound lovely with my JH5 CIEM's
 
The A200P should work with the iPhone 6 too.
 
In some testing with the JH5 straight out of the iPhone (Spotify, extreme quality mode) it was very transparent, detailed and sounded pretty good, however, the AK10 adds a fills in a good deal of body, decent thump and richness. Definitely worth it when considering the elegance on top of the sound quality- a really easy, quality, uncomplicated add-on to the iPhone.
 
With that said, I haven't tried the E18 and would be curious about how a strap-on portable amp (e.g. E12) would fair.

Yeah, the A200P works fine with the iPhone 6.
 
However, when I put the A200P in bootloader mode, the firmware update software does not recognize it and therefore I cannot update the firmware.  I've tried this on mac and pc.  POS
 
I believe it does the job well, but it still feels like a cheap POS with a lousy designed volume wheel.
