I have asked Centrance the same question about the dac comparing between the M8 and AK100/120/240,  and got the difference answer from the head engineer of Centrance.   I was told:  ''the dac on HiFi-M8 is believed to be more competent compare to the dac on AK240 ( better than the one...

wow..what happened over there??

Not sure what they have changed, but i agree on this, the newest patch does sound less dark/less muffle than the old patch.

Hope to see you in STAX thread(lol) Cheers!:)

Me also keeping an eye on the schiit flagship as well, cant wait!:)

I thought the same exactly, it should "sound" brand new after replaced the drivers, i am not sure what they changed or did for the recent 3's...may be it is just my brain. One thing for sure though, they both sound excellent and end game to my ears. Enjoy!

Thanks a lot, thats nice to know.

Wondering the sound difference between the dac on ak100/120 and m8's dac..Does anyone here have experience on both?

Time to think about mjolnir :P I owned lyr before as well, well paired with my beloved He-500

I also pulled the trigger on LX,i am also thinking to get either the ak100 or ak120.is the ak100 really have a sluggish UI?

Forgot to mention, the serial number of previous pair starts with 231, current one is 261

First of all, i am apologize if my english made any misunderstanding, all above i mentioned was just my humble opinion. Second of all,the previously owned pair was made in 2011,repaired once in 2012,and repaired again on 2013 by replacing both drivers, that pair sound somewhat muffled comparing...

I have listened the 2011 version with repaired drivers twice during 2012 and 2013, to compare with my currently owned 2014's version, in my ears of coz, the 2014's is more airy, more clarity, and honestly more treble as well. Both are using with mjolnir/gungnir, i need to turn up the volume to...

THe 3 just keep amazed me, i dont miss my He-500 anymore.

One thing i want to ask, can anyone check their order when you log in your account on their website?   I tried to track the process of my order, but there is nothing there

I think the new order will be shipped on April...and from the dev blog, the new hifi-8 will be no longer built by the team, it is outsourced so to speed up the shipping for new orders
