Loading music onto the A&norma SR35 from a Mac
The Astell&Kern A&norma SR35 transfers over MTP. Connects over MTP like an Android device when plugged into a Mac.
Diskoteca handles this for you: pick the albums and playlists, and it fills the device — converting formats on the fly when the player needs it. See how device sync works or read which format to put on your DAP.
