Then is a pass for now but will be looking on the updates to see when this issue has been resolved. If i can have roon arc bit perfect on an iphone then i don't see why this can't be done on a DAP.No, it does not. But that is a limitation of the Roon Arc app, not a device issue. Roon has said they are planning on adding bit-perfect playback to Roon Arc for DAPs eventually, but have not provided a timeframe. Right now, Roon Arc resamples everything to 24/48 unless you are using a USB DAC, where it will play bit-perfect if you have the beta USB Driver enabled in the app settings.

"A new KANN is going to be released within a year and then this one here is dead wheight" - why would they release a new Kann if they just released this one?
Kann ULTRA has BT 4.2 version but Kann MAX has 5.0 version?
There most be something wrong here!

Please explain. I understand the issue with Bluetooth 4.2, which first came out a decade ago, but what is the implication for this?CSR8675 in late 2023? Is this a joke?

Except most other places, it has become a meme for something that has had a dagger stuck into its heart. For example, in the world of photography, when Olympus sold its camera business to some "OM" company, people were remembering the VAIO scene.VAIO still exists in where I am located.

This is not the place to argue MQA. However, I will just briefly say one sentence:The format is not dead. The company was acquired.
It was unnecessary when introduced (except as way to stream higher resolution audio files using reduced data transfer--which is how it was initially described), somehow started saying that it was better than lossless and captures the original sound better (ridiculous when applied to music from decades ago), and totally unbelievable when considering that FLAC captures it all (for those who believe in Shannon), while at the same time distorting the audio as a bonus.

Are you seriously going to assert that this is the first time you have ever seen someone start off saying "I'm not going to..." and then proceed to do just that?“Not the place to argue MQA”…. Goes on to argue MQA

What is "Apple Music?" If you mean music coded in AAC, everyone going back many years has been able to do so.The new Kann looks great! Can it play Apple Music in High-resolution?

The KANN Ultra has my interest. I reviewed the original KANN and loved the sound. Hope to see and hear it at CanJam Dallas.

I wish it had the volume control like the original Kann.The KANN Ultra has my interest. I reviewed the original KANN and loved the sound. Hope to see and hear it at CanJam Dallas.
You have a very valid point.Are you seriously going to assert that this is the first time you have ever seen someone start off saying "I'm not going to..." and then proceed to do just that?
I’m annoyed that it has really piqued my interest too thanks to that DAC chipset and the LO/Pre capabilities… I vowed to never buy AK again though due to their business practices.The KANN Ultra has my interest. I reviewed the original KANN and loved the sound. Hope to see and hear it at CanJam Dallas.
