And so the mid and high frequencies follow my IEMs and headphones.

If the Bass speed was faster and the bass impact tighter it would be perfect for my preferences.

Very smooth and analog sounding dap.
Very long battery life MP3 is about 100 hours.

Echo Box Finder X1.

Using this set up I can drive my Echobox Finder X1 very well.

Highs:
In low volume i can hear the detail very clear and with extended highs.

Very clear and very good pronounce.
Bass:
I like the bass very clean and fast with very good bass impact and detail

In high volume is too bright.
Why use high volume when in low volume it already sounds good.

AK 240 or AK 240ss new firmware 1.33 - Rudi0504

For AK 240 or AK 240ss owners new firmware has been released.


AK240 firmware 1.33 was released last week.

I did not like the former firmware, 1.30.
That is why I stayed with the earlier firmware 1.25.

Last night I had time to upgrade to the new Firmware 1.33.

Surprisingly the sound quality is excellent and sounds better than my former firmware (1.25).

My impressions compared to my former firmware 1.25:

Highs:
Has better micro detail.
Better high presentation and rendering.
It sounds clearer and cleaner too.

Mids:
Is sweeter and clearer.
Has better pronounce too.

Bass:
Has better detail and impact.
And can go very low and has very clean bass reproduction.

Separation:
It is better now that the individual instrument placement is easier to know and hear.

Soundstage:
It has better depth, wider and taller too.
Like as in a medium concert hall.

Background:
Has a better black background.
Thats why I can hear better micro details, also an improved soundstage and separation.

Bravo Astell and Kern, James Lee and Alex An.

Thank you for this new update: Firmware 1.33.
It is really excellent.
