if you bought from the States you could of saved a bundle & in theory only paid £150 for you IE800's... just a thought.

there's more issues coming out with regard to the AK120, when you total them together this really doesn't represent good value for money in a piece of kit of such high value (cough)

And if you had been in Singapore, you would have saved a bigger bundle on the AK120

Tell me about it...I should receive my AK120 tomorrow and I was just eyeing the 901 + balanced amp card package on taobao. Good thing it is hell to order / pay on taobao otherwise I might have cracked.

just check on taobao today, seller is not willing to send to overseas as EMS would not take anything that has batteries....

PM me and see if I can help you. but payment is complicated on taobao if you do not have a Chinese credit card.

Still, I have my AK120 arriving tomorrow (from a UK dealer) so rather looking forward to that!

robdr · Jun 18, 2013 at 4:21 PM

I know that I'm over the moon with mine. The SQ is simply fantastic. I bought mine to take with me on my summer holiday. I'm SO looking forward to a three week long marathon listening session by the pool with an ice cold beer!

Hello everyone,

I need your help!
I was wondering if any of you own or have used the AK120 with the Westone ES5 custume earphones. If yes, please give your impression on this setup. I'm trying to decided between buying the RWAK100 and the AK120 to use with my Weatone.
Do you think the 5 ohm in the AK120 would be an issue with the Westone ES5 20 ohm?

Thank you so much,

tonyl59 · Jun 18, 2013 at 4:30 PM

Glad you're so pleased with yours. I've spent some time researching this so hope I won't be disappointed! I'm going to compare the same tracks with my DX100 and will come back with early impressions....
