Astell&Kern new flagship A&Ultima SP2000
- Thread starter beaux
- Start date
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.Yes. You can connect Dx220 to external DACs via usb connection.
You must have otg type C. And neutron or Onkyo hf players should be installed. Hirby free app support usb output too
In my experience. Sp2000& Dx220 run smoothly with Marantz NA11S1, dx220 has a bit noise with RME, but sp2000 has no signal output with RME
As you mentioned, you can hear sound with noise. It means Dx220's usb connection is working but not perfecting.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.

In my experience, Dx220 & sp2000 run smoothly with Marantz NA11 S1 via usb connection. Sound is very great and no noise
Sp2000 & dx220 connected to Ayre qb 9, has a bit noise & lag.
Sp2000 has no sound with RME. But dx220 can hear with noise.
I dont know noise and no signal are caused by electronic power or usb firmware.
That is reason why I need Ak team's support
Our software team found the issue causing this and it will be fixed in a firmware update that will be pushed out in December.For anyone wondering - the hardware playback buttons still skip 4-5 tracks (with the new OS) on Spotify if you use them with the screen turned off. Sigh. Getting super annoying. I was on my flight yesterday and having to turn the screen on every time to change tracks so I don’t miss half an album is incredibly frustrating.

How utterly stupid the volume wheel is!
The N8 volume wheel is perfect, switch DAP's?

When I had SP2k on loan for review, there was no issues running Qobuz (5.1.9), and I don't recall anybody else in this thread having issues with previous Qobuz versions. Maybe something has changed in their latest update? Can you try to download previous dot release to see if it's working for you?

Qobuz 5.3 is working without issue on the SP2000 we have in the office. I assume it isn't a particular track, but all tracks you are receiving that error message? I would suggest logging out and logging in again and see if that fixes the issue.can i ask why qobuz does not work on ak sp2000

If she could sing, she would be a French opera singer and put out an album.
She is one of my favorite sopranos, has unbelievable control of frequency and amplitude of her vibrato.
She was first discovered when she was a student studying music.
Available on Tidal. High res. version is also available to download on hdtracks.
There are also several pretty good quality youtube clips from the actual recording so you can see where was what at the recording.
Rameau, like most French composers, had absolutely exquisite taste in music, the kind that makes me truly jealous.
My sp2k sounds so satisfying and inspiring, my boring commute has transformed into an event I actually look forward to a little bit.
If there is traffic, it is time to get down and seriously listen to some tunes.
Enjoy the weekend~
