[Sound Eq]

 
The HM801, Sony NMZX2, AK240. I also recently listened quite extensively to the Paw Gold, the Onkyo and Pionner new DAPs.  Compared with my AK240, I was quite underwhelmed with the AK380. But the AK380Cu is really worth the upgrade. It is just so much better than the stock AK380. Sublime. Simply sublime.

wow thats a lot of daps, what music style do u listen, do u like bass

But the 380 is still a great dap.

I wouldn't deny it. But not much greater than the AK240. Of course 240 is also a great dap.

You should try the Tera Player.Natural reproduction sound system.
Is the best of the best for me!

HI LouisArmstrong.
 
I did a 20-minute audition of the Ak380Cu last week and compared it directly with my AK240 side-by-side on the same song (unfortunately my SD card cannot be read by the 380).  I have repeatedly trying to find the "wow factor" as I was on the edge to take the plunge for the 380Cu (it looks gorgeous).  However, I can't really able to justify to pay for so much money only to gain a relatively marginally difference (or some say gain).  380Cu might be a bit richer in the mid and slightly more 3-D dimension, it does not excel in a way to make the AK240 obsolete...I just took a walk after the audition with a sense of disappointment.   I was using the Tralucent Audio Ref.1 (original version) with Tralucent Audio silver cable via single-ended connection for this audition session.
 
Cheers

flymetothemoon-Be happy, you saved about $4k brother!! I feel my ears would find similar results. Still want that damn thing.

LouisArmstrong how do you compare it to the LPG? Currently have the LPG on loan, and I don't want to give it back. Lol

Mmm....different opinion and experience.......I've done hundreds of tracks using the AK 240 and AK 380 cu. The difference is crystal clear to me. But I am keeping both, with the 240 permanently paired with my CDM, as an equalizer.

I almost take a plunge on this Linn Climax pair and only cost a bit more than a brand new 380Cu and it will sound miles better than the 380 LOL.

In my case it was the battle between...
 
1. do I want it
2. do I need it
 
The latter won.

I don't prefer any of the colors anyway. May get one from Aesopica.

Mmm....my Aesopica  shipped yesterday. Hope it looks as good in person as it does in their catalog pic.
