How to Connect your AK Music Players
We recommend pairing your AK music player with a great Digital Analog Converter (DAC) such as Chord's Hugo or Mojo or iQube's V1 or V5. Use Moon Audio's Silver Dragon Toslink cables to connect between your DAC's OPT (optical out) and AK's "multi-port" headphone jack (i.e. it can communicate with headphones or DACs / amps).
Connect to:
Chord Mojo
Chord Hugo
iQube V5
Silver Dragon Toslink
Connecting your favorite DAC or headphone Amp to your Astell & Kern music player is simple with the Silver Dragon Toslink Cables.
These cables significantly changed the sound for the better. It made a huge difference to the sound with the Hugo / AK240 combination, Carlo, Moon Audio Customer, 02/11/15
Silver Dragon Toslink comes in two forms to fit your needs. The Silver Dragon Form Fit is designed specifically to fit between your A&K music player and a specific headphone amp. You cannot switch a Toslink form fit cable between different devices because it will not fit. In those instances, you'll want to choose the Silver Dragon Toslink flexible version that can fit multiple devices.
