  Quick question, what cable choices to connect UE18 Pro and RH Roxanne to bal out on the AK240?  Direct connections if possible not fond of adaptors, thanks.

I am using a cable from UE on my UE18 but Drew at Moons doing both cables for both IEM. I have not used one on the Roxanne yet.

Try contacting Ted the owner/cable maker of Headphone Lounge.  Good pricing, good quality, excellent customer service. Bought my 240 and balanced cable for the UM Mentor from him.

Hi,
 
For covers on the AK240. Do I need to tag the covers to the files to make covers appear. When I put "folder.jpg" into the folder with the music files (flac, mp3) the cover is now shown.
 
Are there any size requirements for this to work as I find that adding the cover to each file adds more size to each file.
 
thanks

It seems to depend on what music you play. Someone used it for about 7 hours, which seems about right. I find it drains faster playing DSD files.

Not done a marathon session yet but playing 16/44 flacs it uses up 10% an hour on my UE18 pro.  WIFI and BT off, minimal screen time.  Any higher rates eg 24/96 or DSD will consume battery life faster.  Want more battery life then get an external USB battery pack
