Well worth is subjective but I would say no, it's wayyyyyy over priced.

Well, I wasn't going to just say it, but yes, horribly overpriced tongue.gif But you do get the occasional deal on new units these days that's interesting. Still not my choice though

About 10 hours.

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.

Thanks your kindly explanation & input.

How bout AK240 seem like quite worth it, price wise still not overprice

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. 😍

The quality of sound really worth it? Really poisoning

Sound quality of AK380 is one of the best in current DAP market

worth 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)

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 tongue.gif

Edit: Here's the full press release for the collection

They even have an Ewok design tongue.gif

Haha, I am opposite to you, I not really like the sound from ZX2, but it is quite a good DAP.

If you don't like the sound, how's it a good DAP? hmm.gif But anyway, wrong place for further discussion, suffice to say I think you're way off with that statement

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 laugh.gif

That is how I define it~ nod.gif

Interesting way to look at 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!

Dont worry, I am with you in final audio view, flex.gif

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 nod.gif

I'm a big fan of the AK/JHA Angie though, if that counts tongue.gif My set is my current daily driver. Very curious about the AKT8IE as well, hoping to demo it next month.

I tried AKT8i and AKT1p at Sungei Wang before, balanced and paired with AK380 + docking amp

to be honest, quite a far difference from what I know about beyerdynamics, I felt AKT8i lacks of something when I compared side by side with my SE846, most likely it is vocal lah. But its instrument presentation does impress me.

BTW, I am not a fan of JH, especially Roxxane vmad.gif , but I can accept the sound from Angie and Layla icon_rolleyes.gif

I suggest you try Adel A12, probably you would have same first impression as me: "Am I listening to headphone?" nod.gif

I liked the Angie more than the Layla when I tried it, so... tongue.gif But yes, will demo the AKT8IE sometime, it's on my to-do list. As for the ADEL, 64 Ears are supposed to release a new ADEL module that will isolate sound much better, with the open style soundstage you can get currently, will wait for that before I try. No hurry, K10 also only arriving next month.
