  any thought's on a good portable amp for the  ak-240?

 
It doesn't need one!

 

[Steph86]

I've already tried California and Seoul Korea
Tomorrow. I'll try some of the European distributors
Hopefully someone will know why they are not reachable
I've already got an Ak120 but I would not be prudent to buy anything else made by a company I can't reach

Hi,
 
is there something I can help you with?

Originally I wanted  to know  whether a single  cable with the right connectors of course would be sufficient  to link from the Ak240 balanced output  to a balanced headphone  amp like the sr71b which I own  or whether you would need that complicated double input cable referred to in the Ak240 manual
And if not why do they bother to describe it in that manual
I had spoken  to iriver in Ca before March 4
But when I tried to phone back everyday since then no one ever answers no matter what the hour
I even phoned Seoul  and no one answers there either
So even though my Ak120  has no problems , I'm having second thoughts about buying a $ 2500. Product from a company  I can't reach
I've also sent an email. No response there either
I don't know  if you can help with that other than explain what's happened with their  customer relations
I see that you're linked with the uk distributor
I was planning to phone  you guys later today. I've tried everyone else
Hopefully your company still answers  the phones
Is your phone still 442082008282
If so who do I ask to speak to ?
Thanks

Hi
 
In answer to your question above - you are correct in assuming you'll be able to connect the AK240 to a balanced headphone with using a standard balanced cable terminated in the 2.5mm trs. The double input cable is required if you plan to go to full size L/R XLR - the headphone out is used as a ground in this case.
 
One of the possible reasons for the no response from A&K could be due to their preparations for the High-end Munch show, they are very busy at the moment working on booth designs etc.
 
If there is anything else I can help you with please do not hesitate to contact me.
 
Regards
Steph

Do you mean to say "2.5mm trrs"?

Apologies - Typo on my part should be TRRS:
 
TS = 2 Pole
TRS 3 Pole
TRRS = 4 Pole Balanced

Ok, was just a little unsure how well the AK-240 would drive my HD-800's . I've read a few posts that they driving them pretty well so far. Won't be home till Friday, so I won't be able to tell until then. My IE-800's should sound and work fantastic with it.

It drives the HD800 quite well, but you'll miss some volume at least with classical music. IE800 ofc works fabulously

I got a response before - offering half the difference back in store credit, but I lost trust in them as a company.

I got two questions for owners of AK240:
 
-can it be used as a usb DAC? Play music from PC, digital out into AK240. I feel like if I'm gonna drop 3k (after tax) on this, it's gonna have to be my home system, and portable system.
-can it pair with bluetooth watches like the Pebble (for controlling music wirelessly)? They advertise Bluetooth 4.0 and Android, which Pebble does support.
