    Pono VS AK100/120

    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...

    Which portable? HifiMan, iBasso, Hifi E.T, Xeulin, Colorfly, FiiO, Astel & Kern, Hisoundaudio? *Facepalm* too many to pick from!

    What to do, basically want the most powerful one that has a smoother, bassy, spacious, warm sound. But its hard to compare them as the manufactures all put up incomplete specifications :( Having an extremely hard time picking between these:   HifiMan HM-603 Slim Xeulin IHIFI960 Hifi E.T...

    Ak100 and amplifier

    Hi all,   I'm getting the AK100 and wanted to know if it was possible to connect it to a portable amp like the Fiio E12?   I heard it does not have a line out like the X3 or Dx50. So the question is, do I need to get an external Dac/Amp and if so, would that mean I would bypass the internal...

    Recommendation for a high-end DAP

    Hi Guys,   I'm an persistent follower of the forum, but this is the first time I'm actually asking a question. I'm looking to get a high-end portable DAP and leaning strongly towards the AK100 or AK120 (not sure which yet). I know they are quite pricy DAPs but I'm willing to pay the money for...

    Red Wine A&K Mods thread.

    Figured it'd be good to have a separate thread for the Red Wine mods in particular as I'm considering sending my 120 off for modification. Would be good to hear from people who have gone for it and what they think of the result, at the moment I'm finding it difficult parting with the portability...

    Astell & Kern @ Superfi (UK)

    Hi guys,   I'm just starting an interest check thread for stocking the Astell & Kern products at Superfi around the UK. As some of you know I work in the Leeds branch and I use an AK100 myself and we have had a few customers ask about the Astell & Kern products, so I'm hoping to get it into...

    DAP with Apple / iTunes compatibility?

    Sorry for the noob-ish question...  I have been away from head-porta-fi for a while.   Is there a player that behaves just like an ipod, in that it plugs into USB and integrates seamlessly with iTunes and plays apple lossless?

    Looking for DAP with excellent SQ & lots of storage

    I am trying to find a good  DAP with the emphasis on audio quality and storage size and a secondary consideration of an easy to use UI preferably with playlists. I always listen with good headphones/earbuds or some high quality speakers & I have my files in either 320k mp3 or FLAC. I've...

    DAP choice

    so Headfi, I am going off somewhere I can get some audio gear without rather limited selection or bloated price. I am going to get a DAP to widen my gear choice , I am going directly for one of those high end gear, now to my understanding , the one that fulfills my criteria 1. Good SQ at least...

    Just how good can a portable DAP be?

    I've noticed some DAPs go from $1000-$2,000. My question is just how good are expensive DAPs? What kind of headphones would be used with a $1000 or $2000 DAP?

    Do I REALLY need a DAP?

    I'm struggling with a serious case of upgraditis! Over the past 18 months, I've spent some hard earned on upgrading IEMs. Starting with a couple cheaper V-Moda phones I've gone, Ety HF-3 > UE TripleFi 10 > Shure SE535 > Westone 4R > Shure SE535LE (red ones). I also have some Bose QC15s for...

    Multiple Micro SD slots?

    So I had this sudden thought: why not put more than one micro sd slot on a dap? Would it be hard to do or are there better alternatives? It'd be great to have four 64 gb cards all loaded up maybe each holding different genres!
