SR35 Music Player Review, No Other Music Player has THIS Quad-DAC Feature | Moon Audio

[@danieloherrick6332]

Someone needs to make a DAP with a phone chip--just calls and text..

[@Mandeebah]

This would be the one

[@replaygoplay7919]

literally LG

[@joegarcia6276]

LG v60

[@shitmandood]

Just get a burner or flip phone for calls and text.

[@shitmandood]

If there’s one thing I hate is having music interrupted by calls and text noises.

[@denegrindal1248]

Can I download all my CD’s to this? Or download from my Naim server?

[@Maddin1313]

I recently got an SR35, if I could change only one thing, it would be rounding off the pointy corners.

[@SchuchDesigns]

How do you like the sound?

[@gdc6397]

Can u compare this with the Sony Walkman nx707?

[@Jacob1451_Kapnobatai]

I'm wondering about this too

[@Jacob1451_Kapnobatai]

@marcorodrigues040 What if someone isn't going to use streaming? I just transfer my FLAC library.

[@scubacollie2083]

I was thinking of getting this for my car, but I need Optical out from the DAP to enable me to connect it to my Audison F8.9 DSP/Amp Toslink input, however I understand the 3.5mm jack doesn't output Optical?

[@moon-audio]

The Astell&Kern SR35 can, in fact, output an optical signal via mini-Toslink through the 3.5mm plug. We can even make you a custom Silver Dragon Toslink Digital Cable if you're interested: www.moon-audio.com/silver-dragon-toslink-digital-cable.html 🙂

[@mikahmenor4782]

Stuck on this or the zx707 ... Any big differences between the two

[@TheCharlesAtoz]

Is there a mode where you could bypass all the dac chips to use an external dac with it? Like a mojo II...

[@moon-audio]

Yep, you can use USB audio out mode to the Chord Mojo 2 just fine! 🙂

[@pringel2]

Hi am thinking of buying a SR35 but was wondering will I get a better sound by getting a balanced 2.5/ 4.4 cable to get the full power out of this unit 6Vrms . I have a pair of Campfire mammoth iem

[@moon-audio]

We recommend the the 4.4mm connector whenever possible as it's a much sturdier connector than the 2.5mm and the sound is just as good!

[@marchaberberger4464]

Do I want this player or the Cayin RU7…

[@moon-audio]

It depends if you're wanting a streaming music player or just a dongle DAC. The RU7 will work just fine with your phone if that is your main music source device. Otherwise if you're wanting a designated music player, then we think the SR35 is the way to go. 🙂

[@seefirsthear]

how does it match up to hiby r6 2 pro? Both seems like the same price.

[@ABoro-zm6kh]

SR 35 better battery life

[@Goryglory0209]

Buy Copy product vs A&K. not a valid question

[@Jezza-m5k]

@@Goryglory0209 A&K is overpriced junk. There is a lot of BS when it comes to DAPs...

[@fergilism]

how much was he paid

[@hapsirohapsiro3470]

Can drive hifiman sundara ?

[@mrt6349]

Stupid question, do you pair a dap with your phone for internet access or can it use a sim card for mobile data?

[@moon-audio]

Great question! You can tether this DAP and many others if your phone allows for a mobile hotspot. Otherwise, just hook up your DAP to any solid Wi-Fi connection and you're good to go! Most (if not all) DAPs do not have a SIM card port. Hope this helps! 🙂

@@marcorodrigues040 This was just out of curiocity ,i myself use A&K and prefer the simplicity. I just wanted to know if any brands have done this yet.

[@FredFuchs-z5x]

Would this pair well with the IE900’s?

[@moon-audio]

The SR35 works very well with all IEMs we have tested it with including the IE900. It's a great pairing :)

[@joshuakarp2586]

So, how does this compare with SE300?

[@moon-audio]

Great question, Josh! We just posted the written review on the SE300 this week. www.moon-audio.com/astell-kern-se300-dap-music-player-review Our video for the SE300 is coming soon, its on the editing docket now. :)

Lg V20 quad dac and rechangable battery..

[@motivationmore7025]

you get much better value with a Hiby. Unless you have too much money :)

[@attilapataki8030]

... and the battery is not user replaceable. 🤪

[@elvnmagi9048]

These polymer "pillow" batteries many of these kinds of players are using are junk. My Hiby R3 Pro Saber battery has crapped out after 2 years. They want me to pay to ship it to china and back and only claim $25 worth insurance to avoid customs. They said they'd charge $15 to fix it and another $15 to ship it back. I'd probably pay $15 - $30 to get it there one way too, and probably wait month(s) of downtime. I read a review on the A&K SR25 on crutchfield product page where the reviewer said their battery inflated and popped the chassis. I've gone through two $200 hiby r3 players , 1 yr on one that died, now 2 yrs on the pro saber that is definitely the battery as it will run off of wall power still. I use it mainly as a mobile device though so that's not very useful to me limited to being plugged in. Plugging the hiby into mobile power bank batteries still times it out and causes a hard shut down within 20 minutes and the only way I can get it to turn back on solidly is to plug it in to wall power directly. $700+ on a A&K SR35 using the same kind of battery tech makes me hesitate to buy something like these. I'd rather just use regular cylinder batteries or rechargable packs, or at least user accessible panel with molex battery connector and easy to find/accessible replacement battery types in the usa. These mfgs, both Hiby and Astell&Kern have no service in the usa so require long shipping time to china or Korea with long turnaround at your own shipping costs. It's bad battery tech and a bad support systems that drop battery support after 1yr - so I am shying away from throwing more money away on somewhat more expensive models like this A&K SR35. Crutchifield reviewer on the A&K SR35 product page from 8/2023: "Actually have an SR25 but this applies to every A&E product. The battery swelled up and popped off the back. A bit of research found this is actually quite common with lithium batteries like this. Such batteries are dangerous. AnE's new service policy requires sending it to Korea to replace the battery. They will not sell you a battery and it is unique to AE. Shipping to Korea can be very expensive. Much more than shipping from Korea. My attempts to ship an electronics device overseas has led me to find that the post office will not accept a device with a lithium battery. This means that even warranty repairs are going to be expensive and slow. Buyer be aware. I did like my now worthless device." I ordered a similarly rated and sized replacement battery off of amazon/alibaba for my hiby but it will require some soldering and then crossing my fingers. I'm pretty shy of dropping $700 - $800 on a higher end player than the hiby ones using the same kind of cheap polymer pillow batteries that aren't durable. It's a shame because the devices themselves seem pretty great. I loved my hiby units and the A&K SR35 seems really nice otherwise.
