How would you compare M2 to AK240 in SQ? does M2 produce comparable sound?
I can't answer your question with any great confidence. I will have to listen to the M2 again as it was over a month ago when I was able to compare it to the AK240 for about twenty minutes and I'm left with only vague impressions of what I thought at the time. I was listening to Apple lossless files from my iPhone 6 through my Shure SE530 iems and I think I recall the M2 putting out more weight and more kick with bass notes, having more power in reserve and just generally being a more enjoyable listen with pop,rock and classical than the 240, which I felt by comparison was just a little too controlled (although still clearly much better than the iPhone). Then of course there was the big price difference which weighed heavily in the M2's favour. The only downside for me at the time was that the user interface wasn't as good as the 240's, with text appearing really where it shouldn't. I hadn't really given any thought to the folder issue as it wasn't something I explored during that brief demo.
