Yes I have it.

My listening Gear is listed in my Signature.

Tks. That helped

Hello @JasonNYC. Tidal stopped working for me on my Kann just recently. I mean, the app starts, it lets me search for music etc. but as soon as I try to play a stream, it has a red banner on the top of the screen that says "Playback error "User trying to get streamurl does not have a valid...

No Tidal downloads not possible in Kann for offline listening. The android os installed has restricted usage in Kann and th4 not possible. cheers

You can check on how to format here https://www.head-fi.org/threads/astell-kern-kann-dap-with-massive-storage-battery.843376/page-62#post-13714742

Hi. Yes 1 & 2 have been discussed here in details. You can always go through few initial threads. Agree the UI is a bit sloppy. Since this Kann has a huge storage capacity it takes time for the library to get cached. A&K surely needs to update the UI for more smoother song listing.

Go to Comply webpage and there is a dropdown list. Enter your IEMS make and you will get the correct fit.

I never faced this problem so far of the song fading at the start.

There are many options on Ebay. Check it out.

Yes I have read your past posts. I thought it was solved . But seeing you still waiting for your Kann replacement made my adrenal burst. I can only wish you luck. Cheers

This is very discouraging information and I feel sorry for you. I did not expect A&K has such bad after sales service. Today it happened with you and tomorrow it could be someone else, maybe me. I am not at all happy. Spending almost $1000 for this DAP and if A&K delivers such bad after sales...

Yes. When ever you start your Kann it will search and scan full library which is default. However, for first time initially the scan will take longer but after that once the cache is build up in Kann for every start it would scan the library but will not take long. For AK Connect to work as DLNA...

Not necessarily. You can you can use both 3.5mm and balanced inputs. Since you have 3.5mm cables you can get the Fiio adapter which is 2.5mm male to 3.5mm female and your cable can be connected. If you check past posts I have provided image of the same. Your on off button is meant for putting...

Perhaps with your gear you may be right. I agree Fiio has sabre chips and is more neutral compared to Kann. The gear that I have is a great match with Kann so I may not be able to comment further. I use my Shure 535 and UE900 IEMs with Kann which are both neutral and has great match. A for my...

Listening is subjective so everyone gets a different taste. Cant describe it as warm. It also depends on your gear and music. There4 cannot comment.

Yes this player gets pretty warm which is normal for a large battery of that size feeding the dynamics of the player. I personally d'ont use any cover. The groove finish of the metal back works like a radiator to disseminate heat.

Please check few posts i have posted in the beginning of the thread. I have given step wise, visuals too as to how to format SD cards in Fat32 and get your Kann running smoothly. Since I am a Mac user I have followed following steps...

I dont think so there is any fix. This metadata , library reading by Kann issue has been highlighted earlier. So far no fix in any of their updates.

This is really an unfortunate incident and not wanted for. I do hope A&K will improve and not make such incidents a practice .

Have not used a case . But I found a great cheap solution. You get a Fiio zipper case box which makes the Kann fit real well. Have been using it for a while now. The 2nd part of the case cover can be using to tug in your adapters and cables. Check it out. Its worth it.

Yes one has to take the UI slag with a pinch of salt. This is normal and everyone having large library would have to go through that. I am now used to it with my Kann and have no complaints yet. Let us know your impressions with mojo/kann. Cheers

Good to see your analysis on various aspects of the Kann. If you flick few pages back there has been discussion on APtX & Bluetooth and reply from A&K @Jason. * Tidal streaming works but have not seen much inputs from users. Depends upon which country you are based and also restrictions with...

I agree with you for the listening of the LCD2c with the mojo. I ran it through the mojo and then through Burson as well as Cavalli CTH and with both combination it sounds just superb and fantastic. Have not tried my Kann yet but would soon and check out the difference. I too am looking for a...

So far whatever little I got to hear after ordering my Cavalli CTH with the LCD2C it sounds superb and the Amp has great power to drive both my Hd800 and the LCD2C. As I am travelling I would not be able to comment much in detail but once I get back will surely provide further inputs.
