  Just saw an AK240 sold at around $1680 2nd hand. I think people are preparing themselves for the new model now.... :-D

where do people sell it at 1680? I think it's not a bad price at all...
 
Soon, Geek Wave DX128 will come out. I'm sure iRiver will make a new model to compete with DX128.
I think they will make an AK480 with 32bit / 386khz support and maybe a bit more storage expansion. If they put two SD card slots, it will give me a good reason to purchase it.

I'm quite surprised with that price too. 
 
I don't think they will try to fight downward (price wise) given now they created the luxury DAP market.

a lot of money

to show off, you mean?    I'm pretty proud owner of AK240 and last week a lots of people asking me what it is when I put it on the table. I guess they will think I'm crazy to have a standalone player and not using my smartphone.

I think CHG means that people paid anywhere from $1999. (maybe less) and up.
 
For the record, I do not think there is a AK440 or a revision of the 240 anytime soon. IMO

Dont worry even if no new dap yet...there are the 30k usd AK diamond bookshelf speakers to buy for your office. Hehe

Speaking from a non-geeky or must-buy-new-gadget point of view. A new successor will not make my AK240 sounds worse. I can still enjoy my DAP in the future as I'm enjoying at the moment.

So true nevin.

i think we would buy a new model not because the one we have sounds worse, it is just that we get bored...

Very true though the itch for a new gadget will be hard to ease.....for me at least lol
