1/2 kg right ? nice ! Such a niche product
What kind of differences can you hear?
mmm.....the AK 380 cu + Alo Audio Continental Dual Mono + JH Layla with Brimar cable = sick combo. Really, really sick!
mmm......so far, better mids (very important to me because I'm a mid-centric person) and tighter bass. Substantial? Almost, but not day and night. Worth the upgrade? It is up to you but in my case, the answer is definitely yes. On the market for a new totl DAP? I think the 500 bucks premium over the normal 380 is worth it. Already have a 380? Very tough decision. Toss coin? lol! I think the differences can be summed up as the difference between very good and very, very good. In the end, audition it. BTW, a friend of mine does not like the cu. He says the Chord Hugo is still better. To each his own.....
mmm.......I'm OC. How do you clean cu (copper)? Here's what I found out:
The Copper Cleaning Process:
1. Fill pot with water.
2. Add salt and vinegar.
3. place the Copper (cu??) in the cleaning solution.
4. bring the solution to boiling
5. leve it for several hours.
6. Wash with liquid dish soap, rinse and dry.
MMMM......do you think this will work? Help!

mmm....lol! Why do I need to clean it? Because it seems Astell & Kern forgot to clean my AK 380 cu before packaging. There was some crap on the bottom and the left side of the chassis (leftover from the milling/coating process?). Alcohol (70% isoprophyl, diluted in water) can't seem to remove the crap. So, I resorted to metal polish (J & J) - just a very minute amount. Buffed it. The problem is metal polish smells like crap. So, I wiped off the smell by using the alcohol solution (very minute amount) and buffed it again. AK crap gone.
