The New iRiver/Astell & Kern AK100: A High-End DAP
Apr 12, 2013 at 6:30 AM Post #3,875 of 9,165
I read some people talking about another mode than Vinnie's, with stage 1 stage 2...
 
Any more info on this ? Who does it ? From where ? For how much ?
 
Thanks.

I am comparing my Rocoo BA and AK100, I cannot lie Rocoo BA hold its ground very well, meaning my ears prefers Rocoo BA more than AK100. 
Well that is a shame aint?

I believe you dude.

The Rocco BA is a great player, it might not have the widest soundstage, with some IEM's but it surely gives my amped CK4 / BH rig a run for it's money,l the detailing levels are fairly vivid and it does vocals better than any other player I have tried. It leaves players like the Hifiman HM-601 for dust IMO. I really like the tone it has.

 
Yep. That is why I ended up selling my RWA AK100 and kept the 3rd ANV. Just didn't feel I got anything in terms of sound quality improvements moving from the 3rd ANV to the significantly more pricey RWA AK100. I have no regrets selling the DX100 as well :). Just finding the right gear to pair with your sources is key.

I'm 'considering' Studio V 3rd ANV when the revision comes out soon, Hisound can thank their Rocco BA for me wanting to venture further with their products.

I dont know if I said this or not AK100 deals with a wider type of music and has a much more superior GUI however for the kind of music I listen to Rocoo BA performed more than well. I could not find fault in what I heard from Rocoo BA compared to AK100.

I forgot to mention earlier that the place I bought my AK100 from has a 5% discount offer for others I refer (not sure if only on AK100). Either way, if anyone is looking for an AK100 in Australia, I can help you get it for under $600. PM me if interested and I'll supply the referral link. Non Aus members may also be eligible so PM me, but I'll have to check if o/seas orders are included.
