Here are some reviews from Amazon:

They also have a 380 model, but it's around $3,500, which is a couple of thousand beyond my price point for a portable player.
I've a Fiio X3ii that is a very nice music player that also handles FLAC & DSD. I find A&K to be overpriced for what you get. If I had $700 to spend, I'd get a Fiio X7.
