    If you're not buying, you're probably not their target market. IMHO the 380 is aiming at HiFi converts, not budget IEM players.

    HiFi converts or maybe HiFi "wanna be converts that think spending more money means better SQ and have sucker on their forehead"?

    Guess I'll have to hear this unit myself sometime, but when I heard the AK120 and AK240 my immediate thought was, "if you spent this much on a non-portable rig you could get a lot better SQ." I think iriver is desperately milking this honey pot for all it's worth.
