The New iRiver/Astell & Kern AK100: A High-End DAP
Hello Everyone, I do not know if this helps when writing about the various AK models but IMO the three latest new models should have been called the AK200, AK220 and AK240.

The New iRiver/Astell & Kern AK100: A High-End DAP
Hallo Altersack, There is no doubt that once the new models are available to sell to the market, iRiver will want to sell them.

Now, in most countries, second hand means no warranty but this unit was not even second hand, it is third hand. So the unit was purchased by someone, given to another person as a...- Gramophone
