I bought these this week from amazon.co.uk for £10 including delivery. That's US $15.

Absolutely beautiful little player. It's just a gorgeous chunk of tech that feels good to hold. For me personally tech has to have form as well as function and the AK120 doesn't disappoint on...
I agree w most reviews that these does not warrant the $499 MSRP. (Then rather opt for D5k, D7k).
BUT - at the +-$230 range I got them at (Amazon warehouse) - these are VERY good value for...

Hahah. I just ordered a V5 with AD8397/LM6171 opamps on Monday and by the time it gets here it will already be obsolete. Oh well. Having a built-in battery charger would've been nice. Now I have to buy one on my own. Kinda wish he had told me about his plans to release a new version. But I'm not mad. He offers his amps at very competitive prices.

Even so, that sucks! I talked to him quite often in the last couple of weeks (asking intensive questions) and NO mention\hint of a new version!! Prolly coulda saved me $300!
I'm sure GV6 is awesome, but at $55 the GV5 is a steal. Building a CMoy will probably run you $25.
I also wonder if the AD8397 is the reason why the sound is improved over the V5. if so, the V5S is a good bargain since you can probably roll a AD8397 anyway.
