I'm planning on getting eather the ak120 or the new jr, I mainly listen to rock and classic rock, I have a medical device in my head in which I can't use headphones because of strong magnets, so I'm stuck with IEMs, What what would be a great detailed pair of IEMs? (Preferably under $1000)...

Hey guys,   In a bit of a dilemma, currently have the AK120, and its great, but have been hearing that the AK240 is a nice upgrade.   Also have heard that the Chord Hugo is amazing, being in the UK the AK240 costs about 2200 pounds, while I can get a Chord Hugo for 1200.   Just wondering...

Would be awesome if someone could do a head-to-head comparison of these two with the same IEMs/headphones and the same song. This if for anyone who has both.  Pono is looking very enticing for me as I will be buying my first source device, it's way cheaper than the AK100/120 and many say it's...

I am looking for a pair of CIEMs that can really emphasize on the artists' voices since I listen to ballads normally. My current pair of IEMs is a pair of tf10 reshelled and my DAP is a RWAK100(bought 2 weeks before they released AK120 ): ). Looking at the Miracles or JH16 but open to any...

I own an Astell & Kern AK120 which I bought 3 months ago. I bought it to replace my 11 year old iPod. Now, you may struggle to understand or believe this, but I cannot tell the difference in sound quality between the two devices. I play FLAC files on the Astell & Kern AK120 with the Graphic...

Hi Head Fi friends After success with their DAP : AK 100, AK 120 and their high end DAP : AK 240 Since last year their launch 2 new iems : AK R 01 and AK R 02 I have not much information about AK R 02 : The Housing is in gold finish I remember look like my Monster Miles Davis Edition :D...

i saw them(along with 860 and 840) at the hong kong hifi show over the weekend.  actually i'm not so sure if it's called performance 880.  i don't know much about them. nobody was around me.  guess they were too busy helping the other guys with the edition headphones.  the guy used to answer me...

I was thinking about buying an Astell & Kern AK120 for quite a while. As an alternative, I want to try the Onkyo HF Player for my iPhone 5S. I was wondering if the actual output is really 24-bit/192 kHz or that the hardware DAC automatically reduces it to 16-bit/48 kHz.   I know iOS 8 is coming...

Holy Crap. Iriver and A&K pulled it again!   New AK100 and AK120. This is not AK100 MKII. http://www.astellnkern.com/eng/htm/ak100/ak100_2_spec.asp   Balanced DAC with low impedance. New 64gb storage. Fresh design
