Has a Canadian ordered direct from their site ? Did you get hit with duties ?

You can order direct from A&K from the US Amazon.com site at the same prices and they tell you the import costs up front. I have ordered other items this way and it removes the unknown headaches related to custom fees and duty. It may try to push you back to the Amazon Canada site but stay on the US site and you should be fine.

I just ordered the SR15 with a case from the A&K USA website to take advantage of their current 15% discount. Shipping is only $35. And I expect to pay between 100-150$ cad for taxes and duty fees. There are websites that allow you to calculate those import fees.

A&K Amazon shop tracks the same discounts and is currently $595 USD. Shipping is $11 CAD and import fees $113 CAD which includes taxes, customs fees and duties.

I’ve been tracking this closely as I’m close to pulling the trigger on an SR15, R6 or R6Pro, or if I have a moment of weakness, the SE100, which is what I really want but it’s bloody expensive.

My issue has not beem with the vocals but with the bass or lack of deep bass. What headphones are you using?

I am using my oriolus v2 iem with thor vw silver cable.

The bass lack of volume and impact.

Basically my eq is put every frequency band to minimum like - 5?

Increase 30 to +2 and 60 to +4 and then 125 and 4k is 0. 8k is +4 and 16k + 2.

Goto advance and change all the q to 4.

It will become very soft but you can increase the volume to get the base up and makes thing more V.

anyone else having issues with the Spotify apk after upgrading to 1.12? The app will not open anymore even after resetting the SR15 and reinstalling.
Tidal works fine.

Hallo!
I see on Aliexpress grey blue version of sr15 that has 128Gb of internal memory.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/IRI...997.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.35562e0eoujEZF

But I don't see this in any official store. Is that real?))

UPD. Oh That IS the iRiver official store...
Nobody interested in 128Gb version?
We usually do special editions for certain countries. I have not heard of a 128GB SR15. I am checking.

Please note, if you do not live in the country where this player is sold and you import it, per our warranty terms, we will not honor the warranty as special editions are designed and sold only in certain countries.

I wonder why we the consumers in the USA don’t have this kind of special units? That is not fair for us. :pensive:
