QUOTE(joshuachew @ Jan 15 2016, 10:30 AM) About 10 hours. Thanks your kindly explanation & input.Is it worth it? Well worth is subjective but I would say no, it's wayyyyyy over priced. Even for how good it sounds. Does it sound good? It's the best player out there right now and yes it sounds very good. How bout AK240 seem like quite worth it, price wise still not overprice This post has been edited by kimsim: Jan 15 2016, 11:42 AM |

QUOTE(kimsim @ Jan 15 2016, 08:38 AM) Sound quality of AK380 is one of the best in current DAP marketworth it or not? --> depends on you; to me it is not worth as I cant afford and there are better options/alternative with that price of AK380 The closest China contestant is Lotoo Paw Gold, which is not cheap also (RM8xxx) |

QUOTE(joshuachew @ Jan 15 2016, 11:58 AM) I honestly think the AK240 is easily beaten by the ZX2. That is why it was an easy decision for me to sell it even though the gold looked so good. 😍 You should have keep your 2nd last item in your signature instead of selling it This post has been edited by shin2l: Jan 15 2016, 02:29 PM |

QUOTE(shin2l @ Jan 15 2016, 03:31 PM) I like the MDR-1A that comes with it more. They don't sell it separately or I would have had it by now. But yes, love my ZX2 Edit: Here's the full press release for the collection They even have an Ewok design This post has been edited by echineko: Jan 15 2016, 03:46 PM |

QUOTE(echineko @ Jan 15 2016, 03:47 PM) If you don't like the sound, how's it a good DAP? A good DAP can mean good sound and details to your music preference or good amount of details for listening but not your taste.To me, ZX2 is a good DAP, it has more details than my AK100II but sound signature is not my taste If I don't like the sound, it doesn't mean it is an inferior DAP too That is how I define it~ |

I guess that's how I can't really enjoy Ultrasone or Final Audio products, but so many seem to like it. Fair enough, cheers!To me, ZX2 is a good DAP, it has more details than my AK100II but sound signature is not my taste If I don't like the sound, it doesn't mean it is an inferior DAP too That is how I define it~ |

Dont worry, I am with you in final audio view, It is not that complicated lah, you like the sound but it needs to meet your satisfaction, e.g. instrument separation, clean background, recessed vocal, 3D soundstage etc |

But its instrument presentation does impress me. BTW, I am not a fan of JH, especially Roxxane I suggest you try Adel A12, probably you would have same first impression as me: "Am I listening to headphone?" |
