I was at Jaben an hour ago asking about the glove a1, although my ak100mk2 isn't here yet. I was quite impressed by it, sturdy construction and thoughtful design. Made out of aluminum and felt, so it felt top notched. I like that it has 2 balanced output, the kobiconn, which has been around for a long while and the 2.5mm one, which meant that it can be used with the other ak daps too.
The most important thing is that the overall size isn't too huge. From memory it is slightly bigger than an ak240, but it is ALOT more manageable than most stacks, since the dap is screwed in securely, and there is no other additional cables hanging about, the two main reasons why I don't use my current stack (iPhone+cck+c5d) without a bag.
Should I like the sound, I can forsee it being my end-all portable rig.
Would be good to hear your thoughts if you do. I'm in Sing as well and have the Mezzo Soprano AK120. The MS guys say the A1 won't make much difference as the signal is very clean. I may visit Jaben to try it.
