I still have the AK120 and a Mojo and I consider the Mojo a significant improvement over the AK120 alone. Recently I got a SP1000M and I like the sound significantly better than this combo with much more resolution, not that "warm" soft sound. I also tried the Mojo with the Sp1000M and it definitely degrades the sound: just fuzzier, slow and much less separation of different players/singers.

Hi,
Did u compared that dap with the sp1000 non M?
If yes, is the sound different?
I had just a short time with it, im still confused. I guess i should arrange more listening time with new AK gear.

Are there others who share my likings of the warm yet open wolfson signature and found a upgrade?

Thx,
Rich

I listened to the original version when it came out but I never directly compared it the M.

I listened to the original M when it was introduced but never directly compared it to the M or the AK120. I think the AK120 ist just too audiophile warmish and the SP1000s have just more access to musical relevant nuances.

I'm glad I've kept my AK120, and I wish I bought the AK120 Titan instead of AK120. There are many other new daps from AK range, but for me AK120 warmth and musicality is something that other AK dap couldnt quiet match.

It's the Wolfson DAC. I have the modded RWAK120S with the 8741 and it's even better.

I just got AK120 Titan used and am presently surprised of its sound quality. I love the form factor and control..reminding of horrible
user interface experience I had with R2R2K. The dap was in good condition except had some volume wheel control issue.
I contacted A&K and the replacement cost for replacing battery and wheel control repair were $100. I hope I get it the device in 4 weeks.

Could I ask how long the battery lasted when it was new? Let's say with playing with flac. AK said 14 hours but just wondering..

[snapple10]

^ sorry I couldn’t tell you for sure. I rotated between daps .I can guess I currently get between10 -15 hours based on my listening pattern

Depends on the price but it’s a real good DAP.

$300 usd.

$300 usd.

nice price knowing that the Mod price itself was more than that.

 

[jemuelvellejo]

$300 usd.

Get it! That's a really good deal. If not for short battery life on MSAK120 unit i also saw on sale, i would have decided to get that.

Hey anyone has tips for a simular as ak120 warm and airy sounding upgrade?
After 6 years its might getting time.
I know i wont find gear with Wolfson dac signature anymore since that fabric went into cirrus logic.
I tried a SP1000 but strangely found it sounding dry and cold. made me happy keeping my old companion. I listen mostly with a HD800 full size. I actually dont like the mojo's sound, kind of regret i bought it. Have been reading bout Kann cube but its soo chunky and heavy. Ak doesnt make small round edged dap anymore..

I am with you on this. But i think this is definitely because of pairing. I used Ibasso IT04 + Mojo (stacked with phone or Fiio M5). Can't really like the combination's signature. Then my friend lend me his AK120, paired it with iT04. I suddenly felt an urge to buy an AK120 for my self. The pairing is just too good. More PLEASING than Mojo pairing. Now I got an AK120 Titan. Really happy with my decision not to get mojo and go with Ak120 Titan. This pairing will definitely last for years.
