warrenpchi Please make (in a future) a comparative review between AK240 and HM-901, Colorfly C4, HiFi-MA9, Calyx M, etc. (compare the sound quality only) I think it will be highly appreciated by the people...

costas23: Colorfly C4 being loved for its naturality, musicality and smoothness (though sound is tastefully colored). Why do you stated it has "digital sound"? Could you describe in detail sound of Colorfly C4? Which headphones did you use with it? I'm interested in your subjective...

NiteWalker: +1 ... and much better scene, which in M50 was very narrow IMO.

fumanchu: Are you questioning me? I only could tell you that AK120 has: - great UI (a minimalist's dream) - not buggy (almost), when comparing to hifimans, colorflys, ibassos - almost great high-detailed sound with excellent scene - if you like heavy genres and prefer them, probably...

fumanchu There Colorfly C5 (C5?), Calyx M are coming this year, you should show patience   AK240 is not an option, because of unruly, unholy, satanic IRiver pricing...

audionewbi: Clear this please. Playing songs not by order? Or you meant playlists?

fumanchu: Did you have experience with Cowon J3? It's nearly perfect device in terms of user interface, SQ and battery-life. UI with well balanced complexity. Screen with very fast response. I think you should take a look at it (at least on YouTube), because it's definitily doesn't...

45longcolt: Your sentence has ONE wrong word - "immediately". Cassette ... any song ... immediately ... this is impossible So you are idealising old-skool devices, I think.   45longcolt: On the other hand, I lived in USSR (presently - Ukraine, part of ex-USSR), and we didn't have...

jwbrent Many thanks for your "extensive review".   audionewbi: Hmm... it's vice versa in my case... constantly converting my collection from FLAC -> WAV is unnatural and unhandy process (slowiness of conversion is not an issue). On the other hand, I always cut entire albums to tracks...

suzook: Which one? Galaxy Note 3 inner DAC, or some external DAC on Wolfson chip? explain please.

KT66: I think AK100 NOT a competitor against C4... even AK120 not a competitor to C4. This touches sound only, of course. (and I mean 6,3mm output of C4, of course) Present time I seriously consider C4(used) and HiFiMAN-901(new) as improvement in sound over my AK120, because I often...

CraftyClown: +1 I've experienced that 4 times for 3.5 months. (occasionally, not repeated events) But I think Mister 45longcolt just panicing, because AK120 doesn't spoil the data on memory card (nor the filesystem). It's all about just restarting device, honestly. And I think it's more...

Two people already who prefers MiniBox with HM-901... NICE Local customer also recommended me this amp card. CosmicHolyGhost, are you listening to any heavy genres? I mean - ANY, i.e. any from blues to death-metal would be "heavy"

roman r: Hmmm... D7100 are very controversial headphones... Last time, connected to Arkhipov'S Melo they sounded very LoFi for me... Other times, connected to AK120 it seemed so spectacular... So I concluded that they DOESN'T LIKE powerful amplification. AK120 has no powerful amps, so...

CosmicHolyGhost: AK240 is from different price league:   AK120 ~ $1000-1300 HM-901 ~ $1000 AK240 ~ $2400 OOPS   Be careful what you're writing, we're not so dumb people as you may think     P.S. There's only a little probability AK240 will sound more spectacular than HM-901... only a...
