Anyone else's volume wheel "stick" when rotating it with pressure that isn't perfectly perpendicular to the axis of rotation?

No issues here at all.

the Line out 3.5mm that I can use to toslink which quality has? 32/384? Microusb has 32/384

I don' know if the KANN does toslink via 3.5mm...

Yes my question is if i can exclude or bypass internal amp, and which AK DAP can do it, thanks!

The KANN line out is the analog output of the DAC bypassing the volume control and internal amp.

Line out is analog while toslink (optical) and USB Audio Out are digital. Toslink is limited to 24/192. The KANN does not have an optical (toslink) output.

What is the quality of analog line out?

 

[rick81]

Can i use a Myface Two to have a coaxial out through Kann micro usb line out? Or Myface only works with PC?

What is the quality of analog line out?

Excellent. I' m using the LO with my home audio system

 

[rick81]

but exactly? 24/192?

The KANN line out is the analog output of the DAC bypassing the volume control and internal amp.

So using 3.5mm analog output i can bypass internal amp e volume control? good, now i'd want know what quality analog output has. Thanks again to everybody!!!

but exactly? 24/192?

Yes. 24/192 as well as native dsd but as an analog waveform. Not digital. Digital is thru usb out only.

I have recently got a balanced cable for my LCD-2F what would you recommend I set the gain to hi or low ?

 

[rick81]

Yes. 24/192 as well as native dsd but as an analog waveform. Not digital. Digital is thru usb out only.

So from this analog line out i can go to my car dsp aux in?

 

[rick81]

I'd want go with digital to my dsp but from micro usb to coaxial or optical in of my dsp seems impossible...

When you say "quality analog output has" are you looking for numbers like 32/384? Those numbers refer to the bit depth and sample rate that was used to create the digital representation of the original analog audio signal. Once the DAC converts the digital signal back to an analog signal they have no meaning in describing the analog audio signal beyond saying it came from a xx/yyy digital signal. The digital path in the KANN is 32bit with no down sampling all the way to the DAC. You can read about the KANN features here: https://us.astellnkern.com/collections/portables/products/kann to see if it helps you understand.

The aux input to most of the car audio systems that I have seen are analog and would work from the KANN line out. Now the down side to this setup is that the KANN would have to be used to select the music to play and only the KANN's display would show what is playing now. Your car dsp, as you refer to it, becomes nothing more that an output amp and volume control for the analog audio out of the KANN. That can be great for the ears, but the user interface in the car is not used beyond volume up, down or mute.
