No clue but I suppose USB-C and Micro-SD as on the Kann Alpha
No clue since I haven't tried it myself
Hi do you find Cube to Alpha and improvement in terms of tonality and musicality?
Hi, it all boils down to the combination of your headphones characteristic, headphones cable, DAC filter, DAP gain level and whether or not you are on balanced output. Already spent hours trying all permutations and results of my non-scientific testing lead me to the conclusion that when both play using the same DAC filter they sound very similar. To me Cube sounds better in terms of soundstage, positioning and etc, however depending on headphones, DAC filter, output and so on you can find them sounding better with various headphones and music genre. I prefer Cube for sound quality, but Alpha for its battery life and dimensions. Hope the new Kann Max will inherit all DAC filters from Cube (unfortunately, Alpha has a number of missing ones, including the one I like best) and the battery life and dimensions from Alpha. Folks tend to be saying that these DAC filters don't contribute much to the specific of sound signature, however to me these are the game changer. In terms of musicality and tonality of Kann Cube to me, it sounds more than ok when paired with open back ZMF Aeolus, copper balanced cable, mid gain and default DAC filter.
I wonder too, can it compete to M17 regarding SQ?
do you find it is more power than cube?
Yes it is more powerful, on high gain with the Shure 846 on the Cube I normally listen around 80, whereas on the Max I tend to have the volume around 72, although I tend to believe this is due to the wider perceived soundstage and clarity, it is easier to follow individual instruments and vocals appear even clearer in my opinion even on dense tracks. You could say I’m very pleased with it.
M17 had first day when it came on market. Are people slowly being pulled away from Astell?Can you let me know what DAC filters are available on the menu? Tks
