My, my, my, I just received a CP13 in red and I am really impressed with it! It is a substantial device in all regards. I placed a tape from my collection, as seen in the photo, recorded onto a TDK SA90 120µs, with Dolby B noise reduction. This tape was recorded in either 1978, or 1980. It...

After seeing this red CP13, I ordered one today from AliExpress! I'm stoked, and I never thought I'd have a portable cassette player again. I have so many tapes in storage that I haven't played in decades. Most are copies of albums I bought with some containing playlists. So much looking...

Will there be noise reduction Dolby B, or C? I would love a cassette player with Dolby C, metal bias, as that is what most of my audio cassettes were recorded with back in the 80's.

I don't have the SR25II, and I've never listened to one, but I do have the original SR25 and it is all I need. It sounds great with the music I have loaded on to a microSD card, and it streams well over wifi. At this time, I'll keep listening to it until it gives up the ghost. No need for the...

My SR25 shuts down after 30 minutes, again! Don't know when an update happened, but I'm glad it did.

On a different note, what is the latest Apple Music apk that works with the SR25?

Spot on! My SR25 is my first DAP, not including ipods of which I've had 3. My SR25 sounds fantastic with either of two IEM's I use (Fiio FD5, and Meze Rai Solo's). Whether I'm listening to files on SD, or streaming Apple Music. I still love my SR25, and the allure of another DAP is...

Sounds pretty normal to me. I used unbalanced for about a day before I switched to balanced. Since the volume's max is 150, 100 is reasonable for a robust listening experience. With my iem's (Meze Rai Solo's) connected to the balanced jack, most recordings sound pretty loud at a setting of...

Do we get auto-power off back?

This is not going to helpful, but here goes anyway. The SR25 is great for listening to CD/HiRes music files. That's the only thing I do with it. Podcasts, that's for my iphone to take care of. That, and music on the go/while walking/exercise.

You definitely don't need to wait 500+ hours to hear a difference. I started using the 2.5" balanced cable about a week after I received my SR25. Huge difference right away. For burn in, I threw my SR25 in the oven for 45 minuttes, presto change-o, musical bliss!

Glad to hear you're enjoying your Loki Max. Wish it was a tad less pricey and all, but an equalizer with a remote, almost priceless! For the time being, I'm using a digital, 10 band equalizer when called for. Mostly with older material and the old standby, Loudness, when listening a low...

I think the reason is that it is such a niche product, that there just isn't that much interest in it in the general audiophile audience. I had a Lokius on order for a while, and then cancelled after I found the graphic equalizer's in both Apple Music, and Airfoil do the job for me. Each has...

In my case, I mainly listen via a Bluesound node 2i, which only has bass and treble, no equalizer and no option for a plug-in. I have a Lokius on order.

Good catch, Star!
