So here is the update on that issue. Tested in different DACs like Lottopaw S1, Dragonfly red and DC04. Turns out that the recordings have those harsh phases in them. Also, tested other IEMs(Andros and Tin P1) with same tracks and sources and it was there on them too.

Glad you got it figured out!

They're in the album. That's the resolving power of the Solaris right there...

I for one was glad to know. CA internal parts QAQC in this instance is quite high

Anyone have any experience with KANN Alpha and Solaris? Looking to get a new DAP in the $1000 range and I've heard the Cube paired well.

I am relativ new here but i have the Solaris 2020 and the Sp1000. I had the opportunity to compare them with the IBasso Dx220, Dx300 and the Sennheiser ie 900. I hear my Solaris with the Ibasso's and i can definetly say the AK is in every Disciplin a bit better. In my Opinion the weak Spots of the SP1000 is the Wifi and the Speed of the Ui, but the Sound ist incredible.

Sony WM1A with custom firmware can't be beat.

Was hoping for something newer, I believe the WM1A is also more of a side trade with my Plenue P2.

Newer is not necessarily better.

A WM1A with custom firmware is close to the sound of the WM1Z.

I have the Kann alpha, the Solaris 2020 sounds fantastic on the Kann alpha w the stock cable, a fun and detailed pairing , with great low end depth and slam. This pairing is quite genre versatile too. I mostly listen local files so I can't comment much on streaming services. The 4.4 balanced output sounds really good and if you have a balanced cable you should try going balanced (I don't have a balanced smoky litz cable but pairing w the dhc clone silver is awesome)

If you like a smooth, mids-centric, organic sound for a playlist consisting of acoustic/classical/vocal centric songs, cayin n6ii r01 is an excellent pair up imo, though it is less versatile compared to the Kann alpha pairup, e.g if you listen to rock/pop/j pop rock, I think the Kann alpha is the better partner. If the r01 sounds up your alley, going balanced w a satin audio Athena cable is heaven lol.

Your transition from Plenue to AK will be smooth...
