Then what about the sound quality? Is it a lot better than ak120?

 

[kenz]

Sorry... no offense to the render but if it really looks like that, i don't really care how good it sounds...

That's a disaster of a design.

 

[Randius]

ya...ik
ak100=$1000~
ak120=$1500~ (the 20 is worth 500 :O
ak240=$2000+1000~=3k~ :O

i suspect rah

That's great. Now it makes ZX1 feels so cheap compared to this

Lol true.. I'm just curious about the sound quality

I finally understand why now in terms of the HF community, there are people who actually starts threads such as these. More than 2K for just a piece of DAP, outrageous and just plain silly. MLMLWM.

 

[KlavierX]

I think that it would go for close to 3k too given the price of the current AK120.

 

[kenz]

Lol true.. I'm just curious about the sound quality

Am more curious how that design even go past the design stage.

You need the AK120 Titan.

128GB internal + 2 microSD card slot = 256GB storage.

had that thought.. but since this announcement and DX90, I'll hold..

 

[Rubick]

had that thought.. but since this announcement and DX90, I'll hold..

for now dx90 is only 8gb internal and 1 microsd card slot

Damn.. that sucks.. Oh well.. 2 months for AK240 announcement, then decide..

 

[theory_87]

wow... The price i can built 3-4 of my full iriver H120/140 rig and still sound better than AK. I also can buy 5-8 rio karma

i saw the prototype that day. it's silverish and something like the render. full length L-shape chamfered/tapered "fenders" with the vol knob.

you mai lai. 901 so ugly (ok subjective ) also can accept. this one imo still looks better

Actually quite close to the proto unit. However since it was a proto, I suspect the final looks and design will change before its retailed. Atleast I hope so.....

I also hope the SQ and specs are drastically improved in order to justify what will inevitably be an outrageous price.

The AK240 is it portable ?

 

[kelinghan]

if I already have ak120 titan, is it worth to buy this? or should I wait for the titan of this or something else?

is ak240 gonna have 2 sd card slot and wm8741 chips x2?

 

[Jeremy1]

Do u still need an amp to drive a headphone like the HD800 if using a AK240 ?
