Case looks good but how is this different from one they supplied? Brown one looks very similar.- GlobalAudioSquad

Also anyone using 3rd party apps like Poweramp having any issues changing songs? When I click next song, Poweramp goes crazy and just jumps through songs but with no audio feedback. I have to exit the app and restart to fix it.- GlobalAudioSquad

That would be my preference too, apart from when I'm commuting on the train. I try this tomorrow during my commute which is around an hour. I'll run a temp widget to monitor levels and provide results on here.- GlobalAudioSquad

HiBy RS8 flagship Darwin R2R Android DAP -- Class A -- news and impressions thread
My case arrived on the weekend, thank you this was a great recommendation but I'm slightly concerned as it doesn't have a lot of ventilation when the RS8 does get hot, this could be an issue.- GlobalAudioSquad

HiBy RS8 flagship Darwin R2R Android DAP -- Class A -- news and impressions thread
Apologies for the delay, the SP3000 didn't seem to drive the Lirics to it's potential. Felt a little flat IMO and volume was pretty low but when turned up was Harsh. Now compared to the Hiby RS8, which has over 100 hours burn in, it's unbelievably magical. I'll be doing a full run down as I'm...- GlobalAudioSquad

HiBy RS8 flagship Darwin R2R Android DAP -- Class A -- news and impressions thread
Hi guys My Hiby RS8 is on the way and I'm very excited. I've decided to move on from the AK SP3000 as I missed the open Android OS. I have a pair of Meze Lirics and am wondering if the Hiby RS8 has any issues powering them as the SP3000 does struggle.- GlobalAudioSquad

Comment by 'GlobalAudioSquad' on listing 'Hiby RS8 with Dock'
Would you ship to the UK? Or do a straight swap for AK SP3000?- GlobalAudioSquad

I don't use this forum to promote my channel at all. In fact, it is not even a review channel, I have a full time career completely unrelated.

Thank you for your view, however as I mentioned this is my opinion only. People have made very positive comments about these which is why, I was leading towards them. However after trying them, I was disappointed. I wouldn't call them rubbish. Any headphone costing £1000+, a lot should be...- GlobalAudioSquad

Ear cups size was very small, metallic was not bad but hinges felt like they won't last. The headband itself I didn't particularly like Buttons felt strong but also didn't feel like they were a designed in a simple way. Again these are just my opinions.- GlobalAudioSquad

So yesterday I was lucky enough to try Solitaire Ts. I have to say I was expecting big things from them and and I was utterly disappointed. The earcups are very small, the build quality is mediocre for that price range. The bass response is no where near what I was expecting, they sounded...- GlobalAudioSquad

Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000
Hi guys, so I'm going to be daring and ask a big question. I'm loving the SP3000 but now looking to level up my headphones. Currently I have Sennheiser M4s. I do like them but am in the mood to splash the cash for a new pair. I'm torn between Solitaire Ts and Meze Lirics. Both fundamentally...- GlobalAudioSquad

So you're saying once the correct EQ has been applied bass response is increased to significantly better level? Would you say it's more deep bass and better the SM4?- GlobalAudioSquad

Guys so a question, is it safe to safe the Solitaire T is hands down winner of HQ sounding pair of cans while also having good BT ability? As I'm still undecided? I would like more off a Bassy pair but read mixed reviews regarding this. Currently I'm using Sennheiser Momentum 4 paired AK...- GlobalAudioSquad

Hi guys Anyone experiencing issues with Roon Arc. Today I took the SP3000 to work and on while connected to the Room Arc most of my experiences was positive. However, When I click on an artist profile, the play now won't work. The click registers but nothing happens. I've checked there are...- GlobalAudioSquad

Roon EQ Settings and Astell Kern DAP
I've set up my Roon Arc on my SP3000 and was wondering the same. Roon Arc interface is ok but could be better. I'm loving the Roon experience and I believe the EQ settings from the SP3000 take priority. I would love to understand how you can add more bass using the EQ but I'm still new to EQ...- GlobalAudioSquad

Astell&Kern A&ultima SP3000
So it's been over a week since my SP3000 arrived. I have to say I'm supposedly shocked how good it really is. The DAR function makes old songs sound phenomenal. I like the snappy UI and actual coming to terms with having it just for music (closed Android version). It also looks stunning, and...- GlobalAudioSquad

I believe you raise an important point as the STs were designed first for wired use then the wireless capabilities were added. Also glad to see what everyone's thoughts are and starting to appreciate everyone's opinion on here more then ever. I also did a Fiio M17 review so comparing to yours...- GlobalAudioSquad

All very good points to consider. I guess more context would be helpful why I'm considering either Meze Lirics or STs. Music preference would be leaning towards bassier and more entertaining tuning with clarity. I'd like to have the option for wired reference sound with the option to switch...- GlobalAudioSquad
