@JasonNYC Will the apk download feature of the KA update to the latest available or is it just a start point and the user is responsible for downloading updates from apkpure?

There will be regular updates to the list as newer versions are tested and approved by the QA team.

Looks like there has been an update on the APK list. New versions of Tidal and Apple Music at least

@JasonNYC do you know if there is a way to delete the old installs from the 'Open Service APK' section at the bottom?

Is there any possibility to include in a future firmware update crossfeed feature as it appeared in the new AK KANN ALPHA MAX?

...Any answer?

...Any answer?

I asked the same question half year ago. As far as I know the Acro CA 1000 is the only Astell and Kern Player with crossfeed (but it is for - transportable - home use). No mobile DAP from AK has crossfeed feature - also Kann Max haven't got it. It would be easy for A+K to implement that feature - but we may have to wait until SP3000 (with crossfeed) is out...

 

[NikBales]

Thnx Jason! Let's hope it's going to be soon enough...

@JasonNYC can the Kann Alpha or SE180 connect/play audio via Bluetooth to two sets of headphones (or BT speakers) at the same time?

 

[Laue]

...Any answer?

... and the new SP3000 ist introduced - with crossfeed feature - the first mobile DAP from A+K with crossfeed. Hopefully the people at Astell and Kern have mercy with the poorer fraction of their customers and the add crossfeed functionality as an update in a new firmware of the kann alpha together with replay gain....

Any informations about Roon Arc apk for Kann Alpha?

Any informations about Roon Arc apk for Kann Alpha?

No info yet. Was talking to the Roon team about it on Saturday night at CanJam when they gave me a sneak peak at Arc. I believe it is being worked on between the Roon and AK engineering teams, but do not have additional info to share.

No, KANN ALPHA does not have multipoint Bluetooth support, which is required for multiple devices to be connected at the same time.

SP3000 is the first DAP to use the AKM 2 chip solution. Separation of digital and analog circuitry with the AK4499EX (x4)+ AK4191 (x2). Not sure how it's going to work out but pretty impressive (to me anyway) that A&K implemented this technology in a portable this quickly. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), the asking price is too rich for my blood. Pretty cool regardless.

Hey guys, been a happy kann alpha user for a while now. I am now wading into desktop setup and I'm having issues. I am able to connect the kann alpha to my deathonray honey h1 and use the external usb mode no problem. But when i connect it to my holo spring, it doesn't change to external usb mode and i hear nothing out of my desktop setup. I have tried the same cable with phone and hiby r3 pro with no issues. Any idea what might be the issue here?

Have you tried the optical out to see if that works?

Nope. Yet to order a cable to try that.
