HIFI M8 question
Since HifiM8 is a DAC/AMP. What is the reason people use Ak120 which the DAC/AMP? Wouldn't you use a cheapo storage DAP combined with the HIFI M8? Since the DAC and AMP on the source becomes superfluous.- 172438

crackle in music
I've compared flac and mp3 , both sources have crackle in the sound. At the same spot. However in CD, I don't notice any. is this a common thing with mp3 and flac? using earphones, it's hard to hear it. But with a car stereo which amplifies the sound, it's more noticeable.- 172438
