Hello
You confirm that sonically this latest version is the best ?

Definitely. That was the reason, my SP1000Cu went back into its box, and will stay there, til hopefully some future software update will bring it (at least) up to par with my AK380 BLE.

love my 380cu+amp. not willing to make the sp1000 jump until it has an AK Amp. the sp1000 by itself just does not have the power to drive the 800s in my opinion.

Just go on enjoying your AK380. You didn´t miss anything so far with the SP1000. :wink:

I received AK380 today. After a quick comparison with AK300 I prepared AK300 to be returned :)
When AK380 is connected as USB DAC I have got two devices in Audirvana. See the screenshots:
AK380 connected as AK380 USB DAC, Audirvana shows that DSD is not supported.
AK380 connected as AK380, Audirvana shows that DSD is supported. I cannot play a file in that mode.
Do you know what is going on?

Edit:
Fixed after reading Audirvana manual and playing with DSD settings.

Thanks :) I am really happy with it. I was as well with AK300, until I heard AK380 :D

Yup, good move that you´ve skipped the AK320. I didn´t, and it´s not that the AK320 isn´t a very nice Dap, but nothing against my AK380BLE.
