For Inforation, Lexar will launch a 200 Gb MicroSD . At 128$ is is cheaper than the SanDisk.



It may be fine, but there are reports in the Lotoo Paw Gold thread that certain Lexar cards did not work with their units. (Lotoo PG uses SD).

Forgive me for not reading 200 pages of this. I have for several other products. Could someone please just summarize the advantage of using this over tidal into a mojo for portable use or into a Hugo tt or Dave at home? Is the advantage dsd?

If you're unsure, I think the biggest question is what your music/file collection is like.  If you don't own any, mojo and tidal may be your best bet.  If you have, or plan to have a large collection you'd like to hear at it's best possible SQ in a portable solution,  go with the AK380.

You're right  -- it was mimouille.  I remembered reading his post but couldn't remember who it was.  Thanks, Kiats.

Spent the morning listening to these two albums on the 380Cu & Cu amp.
 
Absolutely glorious sounding.......
 

 
I am very familiar with St Martin-in-the-Fields venue where this was recorded having been there on numerous occasions for classical concerts. The venue is beautiful aesthetically and has really quite wonderful rich harmonics. It sounds divine live, and for me more suited for a smaller ensembles. Esoteric does a wonderful job and improves on the original album in capturing the performance and venue.

And on Henryk Szeryng, he is just a phenomenal violinist, definitely in my list of top 10.
 
 

 
Eva Cassidy, "Voice of an Angel", most definitely!!!
 
 
Both are must have albums for music lovers, and should definitely be on a the playlist in the 380Cu & Cu amp IMHO........

I managed at the same price through a good friend who kindly offered me 1. The card is happily residing in my 380Cu full of great music

You guys are lucky. I got it at $89.99 and back then it was already a good deal, but $79.99 right now is ok too.

May be you can open a " DAP Museum" to finance your purchases ?
