I think AK70 is better than them .
I just received opus#1 today. After a few hours of listening, i think i will return my AK 70 .

Daaaamn. Opus 1 is apparently Summit-Fi Sound quality on a review.
Well I won't return the AK70. As I don't want Amazon to get onto me. I've already returned 3 items, I haven't gotten a warning in message box but I don't want to risk it .
 
I have to keep my AK70 XD, I'll just pair it with mojo if I'm ever stationary like sitting at a Tea place or so.

Is it better than the ak100ii or at least on par with sound quality? I was eyeing the ak100ii second hand but i can get the ak70 brand new and with warranty based on my budget, thanks in advance

I've read up tons of Reviews including Japanese ones, which I love reading with one reviewer on a site said they think it's a upgrade to AK100II and in a smaller package, with an AMOLED screen with fast and responsive touchscreen.
 
Nagoya loves it too! she has it with Campfire Audio IEMS.

The opus1 is more details, bass, and better battery life than ak70. I returned over 10 times but haven't received a warning message yet )
No i don't know how to return it to moon audio. Just sent them a message for that .

I sold my AK100ii just to get the AK70 

 I think the AK70's sound is tons more musical, airy, emotional, and laidback. The AK100ii just sounds sterile and kinda boring in comparison. Hope it helps!

Plus the AK70 amp is even stronger than AK100II.
2.3vrms unbal and 2.3 Bal vs AK100II
2.0 unbal and 1.7 bal.

Is the Opus really that big or is the ak70 that small?

 

[Saoshyant]

For reference, the AK70 vs Mojo, which has tons of pictures, is a little thinner and I think slightly longer from what I've seen of pictures. No first hand experience tho

I have both. And yes the Ak70 is just slightly taller than a mojo and thinner so you are correct

 

[Ultrainferno]

But it's bigger in sound

the opus's bigger and thicker than ak70 a little bit.

I just ordered Opus #1 for same day delivery at 0 cost. Its coming late evening XD.
o: I might have to sell the AK70 here if I like opus more.

 

[hung031086]

I think the AK70 is good with nice design and great display. But its not worth the money at its price range. You can get a opus#1 for $600 and it comes with a dignis case. Or you can get a onkyo dp-x1 for $650. Both of them beat the ak70 easily.
