Parting with my A&K Kann Alpha in absolutely immaculate condition. Purchased by me on Amazon on 22 Oct 2020 for £ 1099. It is still under warranty.

Might also be interested in Trades with other DAPS (WM1A, LP6K, M8).

You're welcome to collect in London.
Grab it here cheaper than on eBay Open to sensible offers.

It's boxed, with the original USB-C cable unused and all booklets, etc - as new.

I'd much rather ship to the UK, but feel free to ask about shipping anywhere in Europe and we can look into it.

You probably already know about the superb performance of this DAP, the first from A&K with a 4.4mm, completely noise-free, balanced output port. I've got it to drive my HD800s and IEMs and it did a great job. However it barely got used since.
