  I wasn't aware no, so we are not talking 110.0?

I posted this on the 320 thread, thought it might be of interest here too. Member earfonia who recently posted that totaly awesome review of the AK70 :cool: mentioned that with other DAPs you can select a "digital filter". Whether that's closer to a SW-based "EQ adjustment" or actual tweaking of the DAC itself is unclear (to me)... :confused:

Interesting "interview" about a collab between Teac & AKM (from 2015).

What struck me most was the 5 "sound-tuning" options available with the AK4490 chip...

Makes me wonder how A&K configured them* for the 300/320/380.

*Teac also went for a DAC-per-Channel cfg as is the case with the 320/380s...

Would be great if AK just give us the setting to change the filter up to us.

Does ak300 have usb host function like ak70?
Can I connect it to another dac through usb out?

but I guess it can't play the role of a DAC via USB?

Absolutely it can, tested with my PC and via CCK from my iPhone. Works great.


Wow! Awesome! So in a nutshell, the recent FW update(s) have brought all USB features of the 3xx to the same level of functionality as the AK70!
One  more reason to go with the 300
