finally tried my rwak100, but had no time for long audition. first impression good, detail, instrument separation, stage width. where i was bit confused is bit lack of stage depth, wide stage but some body in sound missing, also i do not know for ak but rwak lacks bit in decay and airness, there is a bit of attempt to prject flat response at expense of mids IMHO too.
overall liked rwak sound and it clearly is a step up from Colorfly c3 alone, but i am afraid even rwak needs amp too for bringing more body to the sound. using my BH which is cheaper amp just confirmed this. i used musical fidelity iems and they immediately reveal what was lacking. i did not like EQ and prefer rwak with eq off.
perhaps i will add tralucent amp to bring more live to the sound.
anyway, very nice player indeed but it's asking price is hard to swallow.
still for portable DAP which has better functionalities and is easy to use and has better battery life Rwak is a clear winner. i just realised that some minor trade offs exist even for this price. however overall i am pleased well.
still this is first impression and i will continue playing around before can make some conclusions.
