Hey all,

I have a question. Should I get my new cables termination at 3.5mm or 2.5mm for the AK SP2000 SS plus A18t combo?

Also any cables to recommend for this combination?

Mainly listen to rock, heavy metal music!

Thanks!

Your headphones don’t really distinguish between the two. There is an argument that promotes single ended as best for headphone output but go for which you prefer.
I use both depending on which iems I am using.

Thanks for your advice! Does singled ended means 3.5mm?

Yes, single ended on a DAP is always 3.5mm. For desktop systems, it's normally either 3.5mm or 6.3mm jacks, in the case of a headphone output. For connecting a desktop amplifier and DAC, RCA cables are used for single ended.

Not volume capped. If you are in North America, you should buy one from a US/Canada dealer for warranty purposes.

 

[denis1976]

There is only CM and CN versions

Hmmm wonder how stable is the apk app as when I had this on a android dap that had no google play... It was buggy and everytime I reboot the device it was loosing the offeline content

 

[denis1976]
