Astell&Kern PD10 DAP with Docking Cradle - Coming Soon

There is no V-Link app on PD10?

The V-Link app was not included on the PD10 because the PD10 supports installing the actual YouTube and YouTube Music apps. Currently they are not available in the download tab, but you can manually install the APKs for both apps obtained from another source, such as APKPure or APK Mirror.

Really? This will be good news. There is no need to waste this beautiful HD screen.

I have a question related to apps and accessing music files over local network storage using smb (Samba) or WebDAV servers - this might be general a&k software question but I liked this device so wanted to check if the current "closed" android on a&k has an app which is supporting these two types of servers to access over network? I am not interested in DLNA.

On open android there are many apps which can do this, for example USB Audio Player which I use when I play music through my phone using dongle dac.

I wasn't aware that the new A&K PD10 used closed Android OS; I thought it was open with a custom skin, and an audio API pipeline to bypass Android audio resampling (like FiiO Android devices).

Can someone, or A&K, clarify?

If the PD10 does indeed use open Android, or have access to the Google Play Store, then you're all good on using apps you like!
