    The Astell & Kern AK240

    Hi, Many thanks for your post this was very interesting. I personally value more convenience than pure sound as I commute a lot, which is why I purchased one year ago an AK240 to go with fitear 334 to go. I previously used an IBASSO DX100, but it was heavier, interface was crap and battery...

    Durable IEM Cable?

    Hi there, I have the same problem. I am using fitear 334 to go and the stock cable started losing the sound in one ear. Then I purchased some custom cable from one of the reseller on this forum, they lasted longer but now I am starting to lose sound when I move my head too much. It seems to...

    Which CIEM for my AK240 ?

    Based on the information gathered so far, I think that if I had a choice I would take:   1) Fitear mh335 but as I understood there is no way for someone not living in Japan or near an authorized dealer in Asia to get them. It is weird for a niche company like that to exclude US and Europe from...

    Which CIEM for my AK240 ?

    Hi there, I would need some advice. Based on the comments and reviews from this forum, I upgraded my Westone 4 for a pair of fiteartogo 334, an my DX100 for an AK240. All of it thanks to the tips and advice I got here !     Now I would have liked to get some customs in ear. Ideally I would...

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    Or is it only a Black Friday deal ?   Now I am hesitating (I do not want to buy it to have a new one being announced next week and I do not want to miss the deal and regret it after :-)   Difficult choice !!!

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    We might see an AK240 II (like AK did for 100 and 120). But when ? With my luck, one week after I purchased the AK240

    Brand Spanking New A&K AK120II and AK100II

    That's true ! For a few minutes I was conviced that I should go and then I read the post saying that they might release a new high end device to replace the AK240... I will probably wait unless I find a deal on an AK240 or I cannot resist anymore. Maybe the AK240 price will go down if a new...

    Brand Spanking New A&K AK120II and AK100II

    I am considering a similar move from Dx100 to either rwak120 II or rwak240. I think that rwak120 II would make more sense as I do not plan to listen to many DSD, but I like the rwak240. But is it really worth 1000$ more ?

    Brand Spanking New A&K AK120II and AK100II

    Hi there, Still undecided between rwak240 and rwak 120 II. I could not find any comparison between those two ! but I might get the rwak 240 in the end (even if I do not plan to use DSD so much) as I like the form factor (strangely enough).   Are there any good deal for stock AK240 out there...

    Brand Spanking New A&K AK120II and AK100II

    Yes, it is difficult to make a choice, without actualling listening to them first... Personnally I like the AK240 design more than the AK120II, but we will see what the reviews will say :-)

    Brand Spanking New A&K AK120II and AK100II

    Hi,   After weighting the pros and cons of several candidates, my two finalists would be either the recently added RWAK120II or the RWAK240... To be paired with my FitEarToGo 334 and replacing my DX100.   I am still waiting on a proper review/comparison of AK120II vs AK240 (I saw someone on...

    Brand Spanking New A&K AK120II and AK100II

    Hello there,   Thanks for the reply. I read some some pages as advised. The only thing I cannot get my head around is: how can the AK120 II and the AK240 sound (or appear to sound ?) different since they have the same components ?   Nevertheless, AK240 currently has my preference (before I...
