Because this is still entry level one for AK. Just with high power but on SQ this is not their flagship.
Hugo family - not a DAP. I finally sold mine Hugo2 and stayed with KANN. Why? Cause for standalone set got something better and for semi-portable I was mad about setting up Hugo2 with some source.
KANN CUBE sounds worse but still really, really good so I dumped Hugo2. Just a matter of choices.

I don't expect it to be better than the hugo2 (if that is your preferred style).Well it fails compared to the old sp1000 , sp1000 + amp , Cowon Pleneu L , and Hugo 1 and 2.
But having demoed the Cube last week against the sp1000 (at around twice the price) for my focal spirit pro and se846 then i agree with The Dude re your definitive views

Just curious why you’re comparing the CUBE against products that are between 33% and 286% more expensive (and units that aren’t even DAPs). By that same token, have you compared it against $500-700 units as well?Well it fails compared to the old sp1000 , sp1000 + amp , Cowon Pleneu L , and Hugo 1 and 2.
Of course not, that doesn’t fit your narrative. Because you don’t like it hardly makes it a “fail.”

One can compare any price level. Say you going to take one on the go , then I can chose between a 1000 USD dap to a 500 USD or a 3500 USD dap. I liked the Cowon L which has the same dac in the Cube , price was not a concern. I still like the DX100 and Cowon Pleneu M2 which are cheap.Just curious why you’re comparing the CUBE against products that are between 33% and 286% more expensive (and units that aren’t even DAPs).
