I have just found this forum on portable music, wow! I come from a traditional home HIFi background, so this is all mind boggling. I hope you kind folk can enlighten my confused mind, and provide some possible solutions to my problem.
I recently listened to an Astel l and Kern AK300, with B&W P7 headphones . I was blown away by the quality of sound.
As a result of this, I have started to look at a player buy to replace how I currently listen to music, when I cannot listen to my HiFi at home.
The problem I have is that I cannot see the a product available in the UK that that will do everything that I do now, but with the improved sound quality of the AK300 (or AK70)
I want to listen to both streamed music from my Tidal HiFi subscription and BBC programmes.
I currently use an android phone, using wifi and downloaded files.
So however many reviews of the AK70 and AK300 I read, it seems like streaming is an afterthought that is not fully thought out. I also cannot find anyone commenting on the sound quality of the streaming.
Can anyone recommend a portable set up that will work for me?
My budget is up to the £750
Many Thanks
John

- Tidal HiFi subscription when in wifi area, and downloaded to phone lossless Albums from tidal when not in wifi
- BBC radio programmes downloaded to Phone (so can listen outside of wifi)
- FLAC files saved to the device, for my old music
