Credible audio magazines are an oxymoron, they simply shill whoever pays them best.

Similar to your statement as to how everyone else on the net is a pre pubescent. Wonder how these teenagers can afford $1000 DAPs.

I would say this thread is going downhill fast but I don't think it's ever been uphill.

Ok I think we can all agree that there is a middle ground between bitter AK bashing and blind fanboyism.
I also think AK products have an awesome design and finish, and even if they have yet to fully satisfy me soundwise, I am ready to pay a premium for great design and finish. On the AK240, this premium is a bit over my means, so unless I find it on sale at 1.6k$ max, I will pass...
Now I am still eager to hear trustworthy reviews, may they be professional or amateur, and comparisons with DX100, 901, Tera and ZX1.

I would never have bought it at that price. But let us avoid this ultra slippery slope
