While I know most owners will be very quick to promote the AK120, but what do you guys really think about the AK120? Does the money spend give the gratification because of sound, or just cause it's priced higher and more "exclusive"?

Sound is very subjective.

For me, it's worth as the improvement is very very obvious and I had tried the DX100 which people talking about how good the sound is but if u are comparing the quality of sound to a AK120, it's still no match...............

Yah.. I think I will reformat all my sexy cards to exfat... Hopefully the ak120 is faster at reading and scanning my music..

But on the up note, the ak120 theoretically can support up to 2 terabytes per sd card slot... 4 tb total.. No more mp3s for me..

Theoretical.. in technology change and marketing strategy POV, by the next few gen, it will be a new card format altogether.. probably be marketed as better and faster WITH a different size and shape, therefore incompatible with older devices.. thats how they sell..

BTW whats MP3??

yup.. For me I think of it as paying in terms of size too.

Yeah I had the DX100 and I know its sounds better (not by alot though).. however it still huge for pockets. If I don't mind huge, I would have gotten a line out player with an amp.. maybe a huge as* magnum amp.. Now that would sound good..

dx100->alo mk3b/ rsa intruder

Nice.. I was tempted by the RSA intruder. Then changing my JH13 cables.. but I wouldn't be able to bring it around for sure. I dun like to carry bags..

or dx100 no match ak120?

DX100 and AK120 sound is different.

The impact of the DX100 is great to the extend that it's might not be suitable for listening to too long hours. The UI in the DX100 sucks and retarded.

The AK120 background is much more quiet as compared to the DX100 and the clarity is much better than the DX100.

 

[TeamStereo]

Geez, this is tempting.

 

[FatalethaL]

this remains extremely controversial like i have mentioned previously.

the AK and DX sound signature is unique, and therefore users of either DAPs are pretty much at the end of the road of portable rig; the objective of the presentation of sound would clearly draw the line between both users.

mk3b more power than intruder.
mk3b is faster and rsa is more laid back from wad i gathered

The impact of the bass ??? U don't feel it's too much ?

UI is ok as long as u can get to where u want but it's slacked.

Now i wonder is this an AK120 appreciation thread. Or just simply a thread for iBasso users to emphasize how good their DX100 is. Everybody have different preferences. Choose what you suits you best, opinions are secondary.

well u know, there are lots of dx100 user that wanna swap out this bulky device, of coz we will be asking how does the 2 fare against each other.
coz simply saying this is better than that does not justify anyone changing their stuff. so of coz we will like to know more about the sig and how it is better.
just my 2 cents

u mean the new firmware? i basshead, so i don tink anything is too much
probably u shld go back to the older firmware shld be better.
the ui is ok, but sometimes abit laggy lo

 

[Jeremy1]

Can always go to Jaben to test out both units.

Just to me, the AK120 is better. Also because I wanted to support Korea.....................
