Yes. The RWAK mod was done at USD300. And now I just got quoted by Phanom at USD650 for the WM8741 mod with balanced output to be done.
Do you guys think it's worth it?

How was the MSAK Modification? How did it sound?

It sounds better than the stock 22Ohm OI AK100
The good thing about MSAK mod is, you can specify what type of cable for him to bypass the resistor for AK100.
I tried both the copper and silver cable bypass for MSAK100.
I preferred the silver cable bypass as I auditioned the MSAK100 with TG!334.
Others might prefer the copper cable bypass if they prefer warmer and weightier sound.

Will be doing a MSAK100-S mod here with Digital filter. Might be receiving it by next week and will post up some impression about it

In store AK240

Some improvements over the AK120 but glad I did not buy it.

Went over to E1's place today to collect my 1/300. Hehe. Gold AK240 Gold Limited Edition. Pictures to follow (as usual).

AK240 Gold Limited Edition Boxes and Packaging

Internal Packaging of the AK240





Included Case made from Minerva leather, originated from Badalassi Carlo was chosen for the case. Badalassi Carlo was made by Professor Carlo Badalassi, who is known for his excellent skills with leather. Unlike modern methods, he uses a traditional method of making leather that requires extensive time and devotion. His reputation is well-known among top expensive brands due to his focus on the leather quality over quantity.

The leather case for the AK240 was made from a process called “Full Vegetable Tanning”. This traditional method has been used in Italy for over 200 years. The process brings out the special characteristic of leather while creating a natural tanning look. A variety of trees and plants are involved in this tanning process which takes about 40 days to complete and only the most experienced professionals in Italy possess the skills to do it.

This special leather material has a lot of oil in it that will allow the leather to shine the more it is used. Many tests and trials have been done with the creation of the leather case in order to highlight the unique design of the AK240.
