Who compared ak240ss vs ak380ss ?
I still use my Mojo with my 240SS, it just sounds better to me than when used by itself. Perhaps I just prefer the sound of the FPGA design in the Mojo.
Regarding being used as a transport, many have reported that the 240SS does improve the sound over a less expensive DAP, including the AK100/II. As to why this can be, it is a contentious issue. I've never been able to test this theory since I don't own another DAP. However, it would not surprise me in the least if it is true; reproduction of lossless music can be improved by greater resonance control, tighter tolerance internal componentry, and better circuit design, all of which are hallmarks of the 240SS.
Hi, someone is selling a used ak240ss and a rwak240 and I'm wondering if it's an worthwhile upgrade from my ak100 and mojo stack. I'm using a jh16 firm.
I've been thinking about letting go of my RWAK240SS so someone can enjoy it, but I really struggle in cutting the apron string. Partially because I think the 240SS is so beautifully done with SS it is a solid piece of fine art, and Partially because Vinnie is no longer doing the red wine mod which makes it somewhat special. I kind of want of keep it for memory sake but I don't use it too much. I am about 60/40 on keeping it. What should I do?
Hi Jalo,
I understand where you are. I used to work in the high end audio biz, and over the years, I was fortunate to have owned some pretty exotic gear. When I think back about some of the impulsive decions I made to sell an item, I now view some of those occasions with regret.
Head-Fi related, I wish I never sold my Krell KSA5v. It was a great headphone amp, and built like a tank.
I bought my 240SS because of its limited availability compared to the other versions of the 240. I've thought about selling it, too, maybe get a 380SS or 380Cu. But part of me thinks back to the Krell or other favorites I've owned (Nagra VPA mono tube amps),
and I think I will ultimately be unhappy selling something that is sure to become a collector's item.
Maybe put your 240SS back in its box and store it away ... and one day open it up again and smile you didn't give it up.
The blue note edition for the ak240 is now reduced to us$1999. Theoretically, each blue note album is us$25. So the cost of the 75 albums comes up to about us$1800. Seems like a good deal....

There is a Singapore website (qoo10) selling it for sgd$3000. Very tempting. If i buy it my wife will kill me!!!!
It would be perfect if only mojo has 2.5mm output.Still loving my 240SS connected to my Mojo. The new SP1000 looks nice, but I prefer the small form factor of the 240SS.
