I like the AK sound... had a JR and currently have a black AK70 (not a fan of misty mint!). I was pondering an upgrade to something different, so I think I know where I'm going next.
Be interested to see some comparison reviews in the next few weeks.
Huge fan of the AK sound, to me it's pretty much perfect- almost neutral with great musicality/naturalness and great dynamics and massive detail with a nice big stage and great layrering. The timing and prat are also excellent. No weak spots in the sound imo.
I currently have the misty mint ak70 and was going to order the obsidian black because I love the unit so much, but now I'm awaiting mkII impressions and reviews. I haven't noticed much difference (if any) from a dual dac compared to a good single dac so far (dx90 opus 1) ... But then again I didn't expect the ak70 to sound so good with the single cs4398, so who knows what they can do with 2.
One thing I have learned about daps, it's more about implementation and the amp circuit then it is about what dac you have. Because my fiio x3 2nd gen had the same dac as my ak70 but sounded nothing like the 70. The ak70 pretty much made the x3ii it's bitch lol. All that extra $$$ wasn't just about build and looks, they deliver on clean,dynamic, and crystal clear sound.
So yeah I'm a big AK fan.
