That's too advanced a feature for AK240's UI.

I thought that may be the case. Do you think it is something that could be installed in a future firmware update? For a £2200 device, it really shouldn't be an issue.

Anyone know where I can order the Balanced Crystal Cable for the 240?

Anyone using chord hugo dac with Ak240? Need some feedback.

Quite a few people with insanely deep pockets are. You can get specific optical cables designed for the combo.

I would like to tell you yes but we're at A&K's mercy on this.

Given the flow of the conversation above, I thought you would say AK240+Chord Hugo+Favorite IEM+Cable for USD6000.

Even if the average price of each album is $20, then the total cost of the music is $20x75= US$1,500.... That's the blue AK240 and the book worth US$4,500...

Hugo+iem+cables are "Part 2" of the sensible spending after dropping 6k for the blue note edition

 

[CosmicHolyGhost]

anyone knows how those blue note highres come about? are those up-sampled to 24bit from RVG remasters?

I personally think AK240 and Hugo matches very well.

 

[high-fidelity]

What about RWAK240 vs Chord Hugo ? I have red about;RWAK is over Chord.

 

[sutjahjo]

RWAK240 is a DAP, Hugo is a DAC/Amp. We shouldn't compare the two.

Yes,but I have red it at somewhere.
 
Whatever,what Hugo improves with AK240 ?

Yikes why anodized blue? It looks really cheap compared to the gold and original version plus a 6k price tag? That's insane.
I hope they don't come out with all sorts of colors... I understand custom color but anodized blue?

 

[warrior1975]

Lol... That's absolutely insane. I wonder who will be first to purchase this here???
