I am so happy with my AK240......but why oh why have I sub'd to this thread and why do I want to see and hear the new model......so, so weak to new gadgets!

Four Cirrus-ses, I'll be bound, none of this measly two business. How you poor 240 ers must have suffered.

I suppose the price will be 3.8 - 4K .....

Whats that small dot at the bottom of the chassis below the screen?

 

[Jackson 6]

No, just 3.8K , it's not called the AK 400 now is it?

I suppose the Tera Player will be called cheap very soon
Seriously tho.... 3.8K for a DAP.... it's Insane

Wow. The design really makes me appreciate the understated simplicity of my 120II.

  Well it is bound to happen, we all know, it is matter of time. 

I am guessing the next DAP is an ESS based DAP. If they are smart they should focus on  using FPGA based DAP (that would be the world first)

About FPGA implementation.
