Anak, thanks, will look there. sorry for my impressions but i only today noticed this player and on paper it looks like a big winner.
n00b question alert
Can the following combo work AK100>-dB>RX3b?
As I'm really liking my Audirvana Plus from my MBA with hiRes FLACS to my -dB>RX3b.LCD3s so could the AK100 replace my MBA?
The dB doesn't take optical in. I've talked to David/Cypherlabs about that earlier this week.
Bugger!
modded OPTICAL>mini USB cable maybe?
bought one myself based on the review for my main hifi rig - it is actually better than the review
ordering a 2nd one for my car
5 Globes + Value / 5
Thanks and great to hear.
I have couple of questions if you do not mind. You use AK as source only or also with IEMs and which IEMs you use with it. have you tried Colorfly C3 player with C&C BH amp? for me C3 was a revelation when money does not matter and you can achieve superb result by spending relatively little.
however i am curious about AK100 since this has better UI and looks also has more connects as i understand, simply pairs like DAC and that it accepts 24bit files. cost also seems acceptable if all advertised features work well. it can live as my second rig for high resolution only
On a side note your DSC rig must be heavenly sounding, one of the best rigs sane money can buy without moving into mega-mega buck territory where sanity is lost.
Curious about Mytek DAC, is this so good? i love Rega so much for its musical body and analogue like sound. Can you tell me what you liked more in Mytek and what version you took? I know Mytek gets high praise and i looked at their page and shop but they sell three versions of same DAC, so which one you picked? i need only DAC, no preamp as i will never trade tubes for solid state.
you can write into my message box since this is off-the-mark topic for AK100.
use the AK100 as a digital transport with either as per below 3.5mm to rca adaptor and connect directly to your power amp and use the ak100 built in preamp
mine is plugged into the external crossover or my active electrostatic speakers
or optical out into a external dac , also drives my headphones taket H2+ via matching step up transformer
Mytek is a giant killer , 98% of the sound of a $10,000 dac Rega dac not even close in sound + excellent headphone amp , pre amp & DSD
