WEST SIDE STORY INTERMISSION SCREEN CARD PORTABLE

The front is almost all screen - a handsome, 4.65”, high-definition (1280x720) OLED display covered with Gorilla Glass. Its 7.7 ounces felt a bit heavy in my hand over long periods of use. There’s no quick-start guide - you download the instruction manual.Īt 5.25” x 2.75” x 0.5”, the Calyx M is large - about the size of a new iPhone 6 or Samsung phone, but thicker. Its gorgeous copper color is matched by the cables. The Calyx M comes with a soft carrying pouch and two USB-to-USB Micro charging cables, one short, one long.

But what you do get with the Calyx M is very good, and makes it a reasonably good value . . . once the bugs are worked out. At $999 USD, the Calyx M costs a lot less than the AK240 at $2499, and you get less: no Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, thus no wireless connection to music stored on your computer - and no form-fitting protective case. The AK240 has many functions absent from the M - though each might be the best in its price category, the price difference is significant. I was asked to compare the M with A&K’s AK240. Pono was finally released, Astell&Kern released the magnificent AK240, and then came the M, from South Korean manufacturer Calyx Audio.
