Anybody heard about the AKR02 IEM? How are they? They priced it very expensive. Curious if they sound nice.

It's just a rebranded Final Audio IEM. Nothing special. At that price. Look elsewhere.

Here is a news to share, one of the Ak DIY-er who also received a nice review in head fi, the mod from Mezzo Soprano : http://www.mezzohifi.com/
Not as famous as Red Wine Audio but their mod is also recognized. The guy who is doing this mod is currently in KL and we can save the shipping cost and Paypal charges if we want to deal with him. He provides the dac change mod(not similar with RWA as they still preserve the volume button and there is a switch for the alternation of filter) and also bypassing the 22ohm impedance of Ak100.

This has got to be the best post anyone has ever posted on the Audiophile section in years.

Just a sharing. MSAk is also one of the mod on par with RWAk. And I find that the mod of WM8741 DAC mod is much more interesting than Red Wine Audio's. They didnt sacrifice the volume control of it and you still can use it as a portable DAP. Since Phanom is at Malaysia, he is offering a special price that is a bit more cheaper than the price stated at website. Too bad I am at Penang now, if not would like to try out his modded MSAk with WM8741 DAC mod.

I sent mine to him once I knew he is in Malaysia today.  rclxm9.gif Save much more hassles of international shipping.

Yea. When I saw that he implements the chips in software mode and not in hardware mode, I was like......... Haha. That's too cool.
How much did he charge you for the AK100 modding? And why is he down here and for how long do you know?

I think after your mod, the whole cost spent on your titan is enough to get the AK240 lol

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?

I ever tried MSAK100 and some prototype cables from MS before when Cravenz of head-fi was still active in Singapore as MS sometimes asked Cravenz to audition and get feedback from other head-fi members in SG.
I ever thought of getting MS to modify my AK100 through Cravenz, but before committing myself to the mod, Cravenz disappeared from head-fi and I bought AK120  biggrin.gif

How was the MSAK Modification? How did it sound?

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.
