    AK240 Owners: Can you recommend an equivalent desktop solution for less $$

    I auditioned the AK240 at AXPONA and it knocked my socks off.  It made my CIEMs sound better than they ever had.  Do you any of you know of a desktop solution that compares well to the AK240 for $1,000 less?     The source will be a laptop running JRiver.  What do you folks think?

    AK240 Balanced output

    I've recently picked up an AK240 and a pair of Audeze LCD-XC. I'd like to drive the headphones using the AK240's balanced output but I'm struggling to find a suitable adaptor. Does anybody have any experience or recommendations (I'm based in UK)?

    Can Pebble Watch work with AK240 for music controls?

    Looks like the AK240 comes with bluetooth 4.0. Would a pebble bluetooth watch be able to control music on it? The watch works with both Android and Apple.   It is imperative that I be able to control my music from my wrist, like I do with my iphone 5 + T720 Dac/AMP.
