Haven’t heard anything better in a portable dap
Color: Anthracite Grey
Some people complain about the user interface but I have no issues. Rather have the $$$ put into the electronics and this just rocks Headphone, speaker, car it does not matter. If you don’t like the interface you also just use it as a wireless dac for your phone or use roon The $1300 is for what’s on the inside of this thing and it’s tremendous The UI isn’t even bad either, not cutting edge but I’m about the tunes

Volume is too low, Software Needs Work
Color: Mud
First thing that struck me was how high I had to turn up the volume to hear the music. I could not understand that. I was using premium headphones (Kef, Grado) with an impedance between 16 and 32ohms, and even with the gain set to medium on the Kann Max, the volume was just too low. Compare that to the same headphones on a Sony NW-ZX507 that sound great. And the software - is clunky and slow. It only came with Tidal preinstalled, and if you want additional streaming apps you have to install the APK file for them. However, A&K has a disclaimer that says installing APK files is done at your own risk. If they brick the DAP, then oh well, too bad for you. And overall, the software is slow. This is definitely due to the way they have configured their Android version considering all the hardware in the Kann Max. The software really needs work. I had read really good things about A&K, but was very disappointed in what I received. I returned my Kann Max. Think twice about buying A&K DAPs.

Sounds great, but everything else needs major work
Color: Mud
So first let me start with the good. Music sounds amazing with this dap. That is super important because that is the purpose of the product. No complaints there. If this was based completely off music my rating would be 5 stars. Now onto the bad. The OS/UI is abysmal. I mean this is something I would expect if I went back in time about 20 years. It blows my mind that anyone at A&K used this and was like yeah sure let's sell this for $1300. I switched from a FiiO M11 Plus to this because I was looking for a bit more power and the FiiO UI is light years ahead of the A&K. Let me provide some specifics. The FiiO actually allowed you access to the google play store and you could download apps for streaming and for like YouTube and things like that. The FiiO also worked wonderfully. The UI was great and I did not experience any hiccups while using. The A&K will allow you install Apple Music and Tidal and I think a few other streaming apps and that is it. I could live with that, but it would be nice to be able to get YouTube. The touch screen is horrible. If I am scrolling with my thumb through menus or streaming apps I always have issues. About 85-90% of the time where ever my thumb lifts off the screen the DAP will select whatever my thumb was close to when my thumb left the screen. So when I am scrolling I have to wait while whatever my thumb was near opens and then I have to hit the back button 17 times to get this to go to the previous screen so I can scroll again and again whatever my thumb was closest to is selected and opened and then hit back 17 more times until it responds and then start scrolling again. This happens about 3 times while trying to get from the top of a menu to the bottom. So whenever I want to do anything on the DAP that is what I have to deal with for $1300.00. This is not excusable. Selling garbage for this price is insane. Why is it acceptable to do this? If A&K does not fix their software this will be the first and only product I purchase from them. Honestly if you can afford it I would suggest the M17 over this as I doubt the quality of the music will be any different and the software actually works just fine. If you can deal with the issues then hey $1300 for something that kinda works or $1600 for something that does work. The extra $300 is well worth it.
