Can't play Tidal on AK70 MkII
When I try to log in to Tidal on my AK70 Mk II, there is an error message saying "Authentication Failed - Unknown error." I think I might need to install a newer version of Tidal on my player but I don't know how. I found a youtube video of a guy installing Tidal on another Astell Kern player...- johnnylexus

Astell&Kern new flagship A&Ultima SP2000
Hello, I am using Amazon HD music for streaming on my SP2000. A few days ago, I started to get an error message: "Content Not Found .... You may not be eligible to access this content." I have a paid subscription to the HD service so I don't know what is going on. Has anybody else had trouble...- johnnylexus

Need Spotify on A&K SP2000
I went to the APKPure website to try to download Spotify and install it on my SP2000. The website does not show an icon to download an XAPK version of Spotify. What it shows is an ability to download it using Google Play. I don't have a Google account and I'm not trying to install Spotify on an...- johnnylexus

Astell - Kann Cube or SP1000?
I'm considering the Kann Cube and the SP1000. I'm not sure I really need the extra power in the Kann, but it is tempting if I ever purchase a high-end power hungry headphone. The price is basically half of the SP1000. I'm wondering if I would be sacrificing higher audio quality by choosing...- johnnylexus

Beoplay E8
Thanks for the info on the bass. Honestly, I think the main thing I'm looking for is a really good snug fit. Might sound weird, but my favorite IEM's of the past were the one's that I felt I could really lodge deeply into my ear canal. Getting that kind of seal makes the sound so much better...- johnnylexus

Beoplay E8
I am also interested in the Spinfits. Their website has 2 sizes, small bore and large bore. I assume the small bore is the one that fits. Are they only available from Singapore? I am using the supplied compy foam tips (which I assume are medium) but the bass isn't very good ... I'm thinking...- johnnylexus

Wireless Beats and iPhone - not loud enough
When I stream Sirius XM audio over my iPhone to my wireless Beats Solo headphones, the volume is good but not great. Is there any way to insert a portable headphone into the setup and still have a bluetooth connection for the headphones?- johnnylexus

iPhone 6 with Beats Solo 2 not loud enough for the gym
So I bought these wireless Beats Solo 2 (over the ear) headphones for the gym. I am playing most songs using the Sirius/XM app on my iPhone 6. The volume is not really loud enough for the noisy gym for me. I have a few portable amps (Pico, etc). Can I connect the Pico to my iPhone using the...- johnnylexus

iRiver Plus and AK100
One of the things I love about iTunes and iPod is that you can create a random playlist from your whole library and then have up to 60 Gigs of random songs copied onto your iPod. Last time I checked, the shuffle feature on my AK100 totally blows. I always listen to music randomly, mostly at...- johnnylexus

The Astell & Kern AK120
I have a question about shuffle play. I always listen on shuffle play. I have over 2000 songs on my AK100. What really bothers me is that my unit behaves like this ... it will turn on the unit at the gym on a Monday and it will play 20 songs during the hour that I am there. On Wednesday...- johnnylexus

Trouble with my Westone 4A
About a week ago the right earpiece stopped working while I was in the middle of listening during a workout at the gym. A few days later both ears were working fine. Then yesterday the right earpiece stopped again. This morning, I noticed that there is sound coming out of the right earpiece...- johnnylexus
