“The AK240 features a dual-core processor which allows the player to handle multiple requests and play high-resolution audio files with no lag, and users will also be able to connect to music download sites and download directly to the player or stream music from their PC from the local network.
Featuring a massive 3.31in AMOLED touchscreen with 800×480 resolution the AK240 offers enough screen real estate to access your music collection with ease and with a step up from the Wolfson chipsets used in the AK100 and AK120 the AK240 uses dual Cirrus Logic 4398 DAC which feature native DSD support – including DSD64 and DSD128 files.”
