Astell&Kern new flagship A&Ultima SP2000

I emailed Zach about this and ne said "it (the SP2000) absolutely can drive it fine! The v closed only needs about 80 to 100mW at 300 ohms to sound great so you'll get plenty of volume."
Well the sp1000 gives a lot more than 100mw so why did it sound bad ? The sp2000 didn't push my TH900 well.

I am not technical at all so don't understand all this type of stuff. But Zach did say the SP2000 can drive the VC so I guess I will take him at his word.
Cool , enjoy it. Thanks for your input and choice.

i'm still having romantic notions of the ak240SS, someone please dissuade me.
Love the form factor, its such a sexy piece of gear.
That is why I am still holding on to my RWAK240SS. One of the best designed dap in AK history. Small, Sexy, nice design elements.

Should be in the next firmware update. The last firmware update was held as they are planning on adding the update for the Artists menu that collapses the song lists under each album. Also they are fixing the bug when using the physical buttons on apps where it skips multiple tracks. Once these two items are finalized, they will push out updated firmware. I was told in December, but no specific date yet.

How about this other streaming service? https://zvuk.com/ (https://apkpure.com/zvuk-music-offline/com.zvooq.openplay) ?

4 months it's a very large time to approve an apk to be included. Or to give permission to the user to install in his player.

actually i tried usb out to ext dac from dx200 and dx220, using uapp or hiby app, you can hear the sound but there are static noise crackle, i was asked around and turn out dx220 and dx200 do not support usb out to ext dac. Tried with hugo2, wa11, wa8, bartok.

Dear fukzen
Dx220 has new firmware upgrade which solve noise, hiss with external DAC. It give an amazing sound quality via usb connection
Hope Sp2000 will have soon upgrade so I can compare them

Dear AK team

New firmware has still not improved quality of usb connection yet. Still have hiss, microphonic when connected with external DAC via usb
I think your programmers can fix it, because Ibasso dx220 fixed same problem excellently.
Please help to solve soon
Tks
