QUOTE(kimsim @ Jan 15 2016, 08:38 AM) Seriously AK380 full charge can last how many hours? The quality of sound really worth it? Really poisoning 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.

QUOTE(echineko @ Jan 15 2016, 10:43 AM) Well, I wasn't going to just say it, but yes, horribly overpriced  But you do get the occasional deal on new units these days that's interesting. Still not my choice though Quote my whole post next time! Hahaha. I look like a hater with just that first line. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

QUOTE(kimsim @ Jan 15 2016, 11:39 AM) 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. 😍

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.

QUOTE(echineko @ Jan 21 2016, 01:27 PM) 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

QUOTE(shin2l @ Jan 21 2016, 02:42 PM) It is kind of speechless for those who buy the 2nd gen AK DAPs, because of different sound signature  Yes. Because the 120ii didn't sound like the 240. Even on PCM. They were tuned very differently and the 120ii sounded inferior to the 240 even on PCM playback.

QUOTE(shin2l @ Jan 22 2016, 08:20 AM) 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 differentiate the sound difference in between 320 and 380 Can or can't?

QUOTE(shin2l @ Jan 22 2016, 08:46 AM) it is "I cant" type wrongly sometimes  Yes. If you don't listen to DSD, buy the 320. There is no difference at all in PCM playback between the 380 and 320. Hoping they release an amp for the AK320.

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

QUOTE(echineko @ Mar 8 2016, 08:42 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. You mean Gavin from Translucent? Dinner with him on Saturday 😁😎
