Headphoneus Supremus
I quite agree, SQ should be the target and I don't care if it's too big and heavy either. I don't consider the Hifiman daps to be ugly at all, I like the way they look, just wish the ui was better and faster.
As for the AK240 the shape I see in the pictures is a bit disconcerting like they tried to copy M.C. Escher but I will get a chance to see them live at the Coronado show this Saturday, Nov. 1st to really get a feel for how they look. I think, somehow, I will get a different impression then.
Let us know what you think. Pretty much everyone who has seen the AK240 design doesn't 'get it' until they hold it. Then it's like 'oh, this is nice'.
