      The P5 S2 will certainly work fine with the KANN, but it can driver more high-performance headphones as well, should you decide to upgrade.

    Yeah, great device as it is great hardware and very good sound, but sorry to say: their software should be improved! When dealing with a large music collection the device is lagging, its not capable to understand multi genre tagging and when looking for albums within a genre it is a no-go... just get artists in text there... Horrible to find my stuff. Not suitable to do some simple DJ-ing. Really looking forward to a software update that improves this downside...

      Shimager do you think Sony is better? Or what is the best in market?

    • @Shimager
      @Shimager 7 лет назад +1

      The Sony NWA30 series are surely not better. Those are quite good for many purposes, but cannot match the sound quality of the KANN. There are other Sony's though like the NW-WM1A, that I expect to be quite good sound wise, but I have not heard them yet and those are equally expensive with fewer hardware options... But it might be good to check there software potential - if that facilitates album search from within a genre...

      OK, good to know. It will be throughout their players then. No need to switch to another A&K to solve the issue... I would need to check another brand to get this right...

      @afistfulofpimples1745 4 года назад

      @@suncity22001 no. Every type of player influences the sound a bit, hence the reference to the term TIMING. These types of terms are not scientific but one's perception of the way a device's electronics can make the sound a bit different from another unit. But it takes dedication to understand and hear the differences. But once you hear the differences it becomes way easier to compare units.

    Why companies keep doing low specs in an exaggerated in price and useless functionality. I mean 4 hours to charge and 15 hours to use come on ppl . With 15 percent of its price u can buy any used mobile with a greater capacity and use it instead .

      KANN is more useful because it can be used as a desktop amp as well.
      Also it has double the storage capacity of the WM1A.
      Both are balanced.
      Not sure why anyone would choose the WM1A.

      @AeroSatan 6 лет назад

      P.A.N.D.E.M.O.N.I.U.M. They would choose it for it's superior Sound Quality ( in balanced mode) and its far superior battery life.
