Sadly, it is not just the Kann. The entire AK range seems to suffer from a UI that has not changed since a few generations of DAPs back. And the AK range is simply not optimised for streaming and third party apps. At its price range, it is starting to lose traction.Yes, that's why I am thinking to change kann alpha to m17. Cause I could use m17 with full-size planar headphones. and have a better experience.
Kann alpha works very very slow, especially with apps like Tidal.
Hope Fiio one day may think people using DAPs as transports and make a digital only version of M17 which will be not only cheaper but will be a game changer
Have you got any numbers to back this up? Just curious... I know that the marketplace is a lot more competitive now but I know that AK players still compete where it matters... on the sound.Sadly, it is not just the Kann.

@JamesFiiO , when running on battery will this have an ability to run as if it were a aaa-78, with a low quiescent current? I ask as I note the desktop thx aaa-7** amp modules have close to 1 amp quiescent current; in turn drain the battery rather quickly.
Also, how does the THX AAA-788Pro differ from the AAA-788? I can't find any mention of it on THX's website.

we have to choose TPA6120A as the amp.
Wouldn't that then nullify the minimization of switching distortion that the THX feed-forward topology gives? (The factor I like most about it)1

I understand now. Thank you for the clarification.sure, it is the same, we just change one chip but not the structure and it is renamed as THX 788+ .
