saw on their official FB, I wonder how this budget DAP in the AK lineup sounds like?!
Honestly, I'm not a big fan of AK70 sound.

Pricing will not be the determining factor - AK is the Apple of the DAP world where everyone else are Android makers, pricing don't affect them in the same way that it does for other brands - how many years has it been where people claim the prices of Apple device will kill their business because you can get cheaper/better with Android? Years and we are still waiting. Remember AK is the one who trail blazed the market for a nice looking, user friendly palm size device and distilled it into the AK70 while everyone else's aim back then was stuffing the most powerful thing in their device, ignoring ergonomics and user experience and was just comparing on spec sheet check boxes alone. Everyone though AK were crazy with the girly colours but it turns out they were right and it attracted lots of new budding audiophiles. The similarity is uncanny and its no wonder AK is bullish on the pricing and announcement. AK will be selling a lot of these, especially catching a few upgraders from the AK70.
Was also looking at the Sony ZX300 as my next DAP, which had stolen my attention from looking at a used AK70 (mk I)... now all of a sudden it looks like A&K have my attention again. Fantastic timing from a business point of view, as I'm sure I'm not the only one!
