Please contact AKM sales representative for details as to environmental matters such as the RoHS compatibility of the Product. Please use the Product in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations that regulate the inclusion or use of controlled substances, including without limitation, the EU RoHS Directive.

2020年3月5日 · I found that AKM based DACs were being compared to my Benchmark. This naturally peaked my interest along with the understanding that the AKM sends the DSD file to the analog output in a more direct manner.

2018年2月6日 · New DAC unveiled. 'Unison' USB, AKM AK4493. Modi's bigger brother. Measurements look "good". Only oddity is two separate output stages, one for balanced output (LME47924-based), one for single-ended output (OPA1662-based). SE one is performing better through the AP...

2021年4月19日 · I am considering getting a DAC that uses the AK4191EQ/AK4499EX chip set. There are several DACs using this AKM chip combo that are nearly in the same price range: Topping E70V, SMSL M400, SMSL DO400EX, SMSL SU-9 …

2019年7月25日 · I guess the amp power does have big difference driving the ATH. Will update my review once i try plug the DAC into my (Proceed PAV vs Denon 4308) + Dali Ikon 6 MK2 via the RCA (Chord C Line).
