Woohooo $100 lol.
Nope didn't get that, will be interesting to check if it's really a 24 bit or an upsampled version. HDtracks have a record for not checking their mastering..

1,2,3 are in 24/44.1 mastering

4,5,6 are in 24/192 mastering

I actually have the "The Empire Strikes Back" OST; 24/192, it is just awesome!! cool.gif

But I havent compare to original score yet, now waiting for another 1,2,3 trilogy OST brows.gif

I manage to find the "dark side" laugh.gif

Where did you buy the OST?
Use Audacity to check if your soundtrack is upsampled biggrin.gif
The 1-3 at 24/44.1 and 4-6 at 24/192 doesn't guarantee they are really at 24 bit if they are upsampled. A number of HDtracks offerings are upsampled even when they advertised as 24 bit and they got flaked pretty hard by some of the audio community.

That sounds great. Went to the last NWZ X2 launching event and the goodies were pretty cool. Looking forward for this one.

You don't need to go for an event just to do that. 😁
I've done a comparison with: AK380,320,240,120, FiiO X7, Onkyo DP-X1, ZX2 and the Hugo and the Mojo.
Loaned the 380 and x7 from E1.

And it goes like this:
AK380 > DP-X1 = AK320 (just which signature you prefer); AK320>> ZX2 > AK240 >>> X7 > AK120.

Hugo edges Mojo and Mojo sounds better than any standalone player out right now.

That's just me tho.

If you search my posts in HeadFi in the ZX2, AK320, and AK380 thread you can see a more in depth review from me with regards to how the players fare against each other and alot of members have chimed in and said that they concur with my findings.
Here is one of them:

No idea how much better the dual ESS DAC will sound. I also don't subscribe to something that would have similar sounding sound signature with my other players or if it's just going to be a bit better than the others.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before. Saw Sony Store at Sunway Pyramid having promo since Dec 2015, selling the MDR-1A @ RM699 and MDR-1RNCMk2 @ RM1099. Pretty good price.
