  mmm.....unit not mine. I screwed up the reply post. Mine has  shiny, coppery goodness look.
 
Currently enjoying listening to my music through one of the world's best DAP and one of the world's best headphones.

 
Oi Oi mind what you are saying LOL... 

 
Don't temp me to revisit a nice shiny one....but admittedly, the 380Cu and Cu amp does look glorious in it's shiny suit!!
 
Congratulations to your weekly house keeping........

Mmmm....glorious glorious 2L The Nordic Sound through the cu and cu amp with the Zeus. Almost a spiritual experience....

Sorry to hear about your 380!
 
However, you have a great device in the Lotoo PAW Gold during this period. Very fine sounding Dap, indeed. One of my favorites in fact! 
 
Have thought about purchase on many occasions but still find it hard to get past the Versace button from the 80s........

You're right about the LPG - a great DAP!  Okay, so cut out a round piece of paper and put it over the gold dial.  Problem solved, and now you have a powerful, great sounding device that isn't visually distracting.
 
You're welcome.

Hi all,
I just wanted to let you know that a leather shop is going to release soon a leather case for the AK380&amp combo.

Hey guys, sorry for barging in. I have a few questions, if someone can answer them:
 
1. How does the AK380 compare to a Pico Slim - iPod Classic combo? If you can put it in numbers from 1 to 10 that would be great!
 
2. Also, is it worth getting the AK380 over the AK240?
 
 
Any input is highly appreciated!

Keep us posted.  I haven't been impressed with those I've seen so far.

Not even the Van Nuys? I have one coming.

mmmm.....for me, it was very much worth it. But I'm keeping my 240 still because it is far more portable than the 380 cu/cu amp. I've paired my Vorzuge Pure II + and the double stack is still very comfortable to carry. I have an IPod Classic as well (paired with the Theorem 720). I don't have the Pico Slim, so I have no opinion.
 
My rule of thumb: if you are going to scale up, scale up across the audio chain (not just the DAP/Amp) to get the most value.

Sorry cool, I can't comment on the Van Nuys as I haven't seen one in person, but based on what I've seen, there's no way I would trust my $4000 setup to a case that hangs off my belt with a velcro fastener.  Otherwise, though, it looks tough as nails!  Good luck, and please tell us what you think about it post some pics when you get it.
