Did an extensive AK380 vs AK320 vs DP-X1 vs Mojo today with my MH335DW.
I have no idea how the AK240 costs as much as it does. I remember when it first came out alot of reviewers were wondering if portable sound could get any better than the 240. My my.... Exciting times we live in.

I'm really tempted by the Mojo, so many awesome reviews and feedback. Have you had a chance to compare the iFi iDSD with the Mojo?

No. But I can guarantee you that no portable DAC sounds better than the Mojo right now. I've not heard a sub $2000 DAC that sound setter than the Mojo

It is kind of speechless for those who buy the 2nd gen AK DAPs, because of different sound signature

They were tuned very differently and the 120ii sounded inferior to the 240 even on PCM playback. Yes, both 120II and 240 are of different sound signature, when I listened from my 100II to 120II, I can feel the significant increased of details and yet the sound is calm. For 240, it is warm compared to 100II and 120II. Yet all 2nd gen AK DAPs have soft sound signature, making the songs/musics not punchy enough. If I were to choose in between 3 AK DAPs, I will choose 120II as it more suits to me. But if I were to choose among 120II, 240, 320 and 380, I will go for 320, reason is I can't differentiate the sound difference in between 320 and 380 This post has been edited by shin2l: Jan 22 2016, 08:47 AM

Christmas came early... Or late... AK380 Copper. On the other hand, decided not to get the amp for the AK320 till they match it in foot print and colour. Till then... This will have to 'suffice' This post has been edited by joshuachew: Jan 23 2016, 11:38 AM

No, it's just different, don't ask so many questions and just pay moar! Edit: came across a comment on a different forum saying the retail price is slightly lower than the 380Cu (in HK), so maybe it's meant to fit between the regular 380 and the 380Cu.
