[CLOSED] Mojo vs micro iDSD vs m8 vs "?"(feel free to add)]
It is amazing that when a new "game changer" comes out that months go by with no review against the previous "game changer." Its as if the industry thrives off of people getting sucked in by the hype long before they get objective comparisons. I would also welcome feedback on how the IFI...- jedx02

3.5 mini to 3.5 mini optical cable
Sorry if there is a simple answer to this but I just spent an hour looking online without success. Somewhere along the line I got a short four inc 3.5 inch optical to 3.5 inch optical cable. It works great to connect my AK240 optical plug to my IFI Idsd optical plug. I wanted to buy another...- jedx02

How have you affixed the adapter to the unit? Tape? I just ordered an adapter to try it myself based on your experience. Can you post pictures?- jedx02

If you are only getting 180gb on the SD card then it doesn't work. What you seem to be saying is that it reads the SD card but only to a maximum of 180 even if you put in a 256gb card.- jedx02

The Astell & Kern AK240
Ok another question for the group. I have two problems with my AK240. One is that the balanced cable that I purchased from Moon Audio looses connection because the plug changes depth when it turns in the plug. The second is that when I try to play music over wi-fi I get a low static noise...- jedx02

Chord Hugo
Could be but the UK/Europe difference threw me off since it actually seems cheaper in Europe. I was curious if someone smarter and better informed than me knew the reason.- jedx02

Chord Hugo
Sorry to vary from the dominant topic but, does anyone know why there is such a huge price difference for the Chord Hugo between the US and Europe? The US price is $2495 through its authorized distributor. The UK price is £1,400 which at current exchange rates equals $2,117.22 . The Dutch...- jedx02

I purchased balanced cables from moon audio for my ak240. They did not connect to the plug reliably. Sound would loose channel now and then. When I asked if they could exchange the cable the person who responded said that the problem was with the type of plug used by ak and that there was no...- jedx02

The Astell & Kern AK240
I haven't tried the AK120 or the K10 and the quality of variations in components is a matter of subjective taste so you may be right at least to your ears. That said, my AK240 and SE846 is one of those few purchases that I don't regret despite the price. I doubt that he would be disappointed...- jedx02

Neo, you are complicating things too much by mixing the Chord Hugo and the AK240 into your considerations. If you object is music on the move get the AK240, or if you need less storage its smaller siblings, and get an SE846 iem or equivalent and enjoy. Adding the bulk and cost of the Chord...- jedx02

The Astell and Kern AK240 Impressions Thread
I tried the balanced cable from moon audio. It sounded nice but lost sound off and on if the player moved around. I wrote to Moon Audio customer service and was told that it was a flaw in the AK240 balanced plug tolerance level. I asked if the cable could be replaced and he responded...- jedx02
