Pictures of Your Portable Rig (part XVI)

[leaky74]

how is ak70?  I'm mean in general?  do you like the ak70?  what is your impression on ak70?  I'm think about getting new dap....
Thanks

TBH, I really like it. As an overall package, taking into account not just SQ but also portablibty, UI, streaming, USB DAC, MQS etc I think it's great. I can't compare it to other DAPs but liked it enough to buy it rather than stacking my mojo for portable use.

Vs the mojo (using Noble Sage IEMs in both cases), I find the AK70 to be not as warm, I find it 'airier' with, to my ears, better separation and staging.

All that said, it's my first dedicated DAP and for all that I like its form factor (if I'm going to be carrying a second device, I like the fact it's so small), the X7 is now the same price on Amazon which I'm tempted by. Of course, if the DAP module for Mojo offers streaming; I'll be all over that!

Just received my first DAP- the AK240SS.
I know it's not the newest rig from AK but damn, it's still incredibly impressive! Using it mainly with my SE215s right now but it's obvious this thing would really shine with even better IEMs so that'll be my next purchase to go with it. Now to figure out which ones...

Are they releasing AK240II in '17 ?

There is an AK380CU flagship now, AK380SS and quite a few others. We're actually getting pretty close to a newer flagship imo. They don't muck around releasing keeping consumers needing the newest/more expensive.

I guess one way to look at it is...For people (like me) who don't mind buying used there will be an abundance of older AK units in years to come.
 
The sound isn't improving that drastically from year to year making older units obsolete.
 
Like our friend above who's loving his AK240SS.

The AK240SS is a great DAP. Indeed I agree AK DAPs are a better deal past their prime.

 

[PinkyPowers]

Yep. Buying used AKs is the way to go. That same great sound for half the price.

I actually got mine new in box- for less than half after coupons and other discounts
