hmm, my ios app has the following options:
Basic
Standard
High quality (HQ)

i have no way of checking bitrates on iOS, if i still had my WM1A perhaps i could have broadcast to it and check.

it's just strange that deezer lists HQ on the iOS app as a option but then somewhere in the background state that it doesn't actually work?



Sure? On mobile devices?
Deezer off site is lying?

Question. The reason is that in micro SD, it only handles 256 Gb. Does it handle a 400 GB Kingston micro sd card with a standard SD adapter? THX if anyone knows.

Is anyone else having issues with J River recognizing the KANN? My computer will detect it and even let me access files but J River can't for some reason

I bought KANN yesterday. Amazingly detailed. And it's a powerful part of your amplifier. How many mWs (equal to 300 ohms)? 7Vrms in balance means a lot, but no other data can be found. (they do not make the data of the super cars LE clear) :)

I found this, I do not know how credible data is. In balanced . 300 ohm 101.40 mW 14.83 dBV

Does anyone know the battery life of this playing a FLAC file on balanced headphones? Their website just says 15 hours, but what's the source and headphones?

I use HD650, balanced (30% DSD / 70% FLAC). You can use 10 hours of its own (with its internal player) when using external sources, even more. However, it really takes 2.5 hours to charge the USB-C from a Quick Charger (2.5A)

Has anyone else had this A & K device before?
How is KANN's voice compared to them? (of course, not many have this amplifier, AMPs can be supplied separately for 300 and up models)
.........
Another thing: I know it was about it here. MQA support? I do not really see how to work on A & Ks, though it would be worth it. (even if not all HiFi "scientists" like it)
