Astrell & Kern AK 240

Astrell A&K & Kern AK240 - $2500 USD

Good specs.

If it had XLR outputs, and inputs, we are interested, for our use case! :) Otherwise, a Korg MR-2000S (Japan) is best, Tascam DA-3000 next, at $1000.00 USD.

Calyx M Portable Music Player - $999.00 USD

Good design, we hope. Great specs. We'd like to see a music player similar to the Apple Music iOS 4 app. as default.


FiiO X5 -$400 USD

We are impressed with the design of the FiiO D3 and E10. May or may not handle DSD natively.
