Hate the colour, specs look good though. If it had been a single AK4490 and NOT mint coloured i would have considered it, as it is AK300 is my upgrade path from my Jr.

Indeed basically the same spec as the Audio-Opus Opus #1, but the Opus #1 has 32gb + 2 x microSD, it also has 2.5mm balanced, and 3.5mm SE with optical.
 
Both priced the same, both have the same output power, could be an interesting comparison. AK may have metal, but the extra microSD slot has got to count for something

It really is green? Don't they want to sell any?

Hope the AK480 will not be PINK only !

While I agree that it would sell better with other options, I like the mint green. It's something different and I think it looks quite nice.

Now this is interesting.

No regret for me

Design seems lazy. Older ak100 and 120 were much better in this aspect IMO.

£500 for the UK

Agree , the Jr design is much better Imo, the AK70 design is like an equation of 240 by 100ii. Does seem a little uninspired.
It's the same colour as my car and I hate that colour, its an unsure colour. Where did they get mint from, have they never seen mint???

I can't live with lagging on Jr, if more than 300 songs

Looks interesting! any idea about the DLNA wifi? for NAS streaming or?

Yes AK70 employs the same AK connect software compatible to DLNA(uPnP).
