For anyone upgrading from the mk1 using Bluetooth I can confirm it is significantly improved in the mk2 with none of the dropouts I previously was experiencing.
I hope I'm not doing any wrong things here-My first post and know very little about DAPs,let alone AK.I have,though,been researching through reviewsand this web siteMy question/s is/are-Would the Astell and Kern AK mark 11 be suitable for my circumstances that is;I really only listen to MY cds,stored on my laptop,through Bluetooth Ruark MR1 speakers,Aktimate Minis and portable UE Boom 2,s.I do not use headphones at all.I'll post this now,hoping someone can give me some advice

I have a mission: building a portable set-up for a friend, based on an AK70 MK2 and a full size headphone. (he do not want my SHURE KSE1500 in ear solution )

Considering the limited output of the AK70 MK2 amp, what full size headphone can be recommended ?

Kinda crazy, after a bit of deliberation, I decided to order an AK70mkII. I realize it doesn’t have the parametric EQ, but the last two AK products I’ve had (AK300 and before that, AK240), both had that EQ, and I literally never used it! The players sounded great w/o the EQ, so I went with the smaller form/footprint of the AK70mkII.

Hope you like the AK70mkii - how does it compare to the AK300? I was thinking about grabbing the AK300 before it disappears but might be tempted by the AK70mkii.
