This is awesome! My AK240 can now stream from my NAS running Minimserver. So it must be fully uPnP compliant. WOW!

Found the patch notes for v1.15 but it's only currently available on the iRiver's Japanese website.
Gavin also told me he liked the new signature on v1.15.

thank you, Saraguie!
I just updated my AK240 to V1.15. EQ OFF is still the same sonic signature as PRO.And using EQ OFF at flat bar makes the sound slightly softer and less aggressive/more natural. Seems like it is still the same setup as V1.11 sonically. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
I haven't tried to hear any differences with 1.15 but on 1.11 there was certainly a difference between off and Pro.
I am going to have a listen now to check it.
Just had a listen... EQ off and EQ Pro are still different.
It is pretty subtle though.. on Pro the upper mids are ever so slightly smoothed and recessed.
I did a reboot again to make sure the AK240 patch is properly installed and running and here is the sonic impression I told Gavin in pm.
"Ok I just tried a full reboot and now I hear all 3 of them to be different from one another. EQ OFF, EQ FLAT and EQ PRO. All sound different from one another. I haven't quite figured out the exact difference in details but EQ OFF sounds the loudest and most aggressive with a slight edginess to the music. PRO sounds more musical but a bit muffled not as clear. EQ FLAT is almost same as PRO but even softer in volume."

I know that you traveling a lot , please try this simple DAP and Iem set up
Source : AK 240
Iem : DITA Gold with TRRS plug prototype world 1st Edition
Note :
DITA gold or black with TRRS plug will be launching soon
Sound quality :
So far for me is the best iem pair with AK 240 .
No need to carry my amp , my dac / amp
No need to mod AK 240 sound quality is already excellent
Like DITA born for AK 240
If you like so kind sound quality from Stax like sr 007 mk 2 and sr 009
You will like and like this combo
IMO
Why is it the best combo, Rudi? What have you tried so far? And to claim that it is on par with SR07 MK2 and SR09? That is rather extravagant a claim in respect of an iem. Details would be appreciated, Rudi. Not just a broad sweep like that.
