I agree with Mimouille and Cooperpwc: the Calyx is lush and rich.
The AK240 is very transparent and a bit on the clinical side. I'm not convinced that it has the deepest soundstage, balanced or not. Pure SQ wise, it's still the HM901 that does it for me.
At the end of the day, when I just want to chill and enjoy my music, rather than be analyzing it, I would reach out for the Calyx. Lately, it's also been the Tera Player.
At the end of the day, we reach for different DAPs depending on our need at that point in time. It is true that there is no one perfect DAP for all occasions because our moods change as do the needs of the moment.
All I will say is thank goodness for choice!
