This seems to me the BEST Ultimate Setup.   Much better sounding than AK380+AKAmp I guess ?

mmm......it is my personal favorite for portable iem and headphone use.  Second only (by a slight margin) to the cu + kse 1500. Third would be the cu + vorzuge pure ii + ortofon eq8. I have not heard the cu + amp or 380 + amp. But the tube rolling option on the continental dual mono affords me the choice to shape the sound signature to my liking (depending on mood and track or album). And the cu + cdm = really handsome looking and a pleasure to touch. Both products are solidly built.

This is all too crazy now a copper AMP.I knew it was going to happen! I'm wonder what the copper AMP would look like with the original 380 & if the copper AMP sounds better then the original 380 AMP? BTW I still love my combo setup 380+ AK AMP & Moon-Audio silver Dragon V3 Cable with my Oppo PM-1. I think it sounds amazing!

maybe centrance can jump in and make a totl amp that fits ak380 like they did with glove

maybe we should ask centrance to do one

Number of AK 380 owners:small.
Number of AK380 owners potentially buying the glove: even smaller.

It's a job that nobody will be taking anytime soon.

i thought u are happy with ur amp and oppo pm1
 
i believe its better to wait and only buy it if it is substantially better
 
and also i assume the copper amp will be at least 1000 usd

You cut the rest of my quote off. I did say in my post that I'm happy with my setup. I have no interest in a copper version what's so ever. Just curious.

such a BS with RWAK thing. I used to have RWAK AK100  (bought from sell/buy section at some audio forum) and got the chance to compare it with my  friend's original AK100 - no difference .  I don't mind if some guys make some bucks over peoples believe that some guy can disassemble the $3500 player and do some soldering  dramatically improving the sound but I'm not one of them.
