Pono VS AK100/120
Would be awesome if someone could do a head-to-head comparison of these two with the same IEMs/headphones and the same song. This if for anyone who has both. Pono is looking very enticing for me as I will be buying my first source device, it's way cheaper than the AK100/120 and many say it's...- Ike1985

Which portable? HifiMan, iBasso, Hifi E.T, Xeulin, Colorfly, FiiO, Astel & Kern, Hisoundaudio? *Facepalm* too many to pick from!
What to do, basically want the most powerful one that has a smoother, bassy, spacious, warm sound. But its hard to compare them as the manufactures all put up incomplete specifications :( Having an extremely hard time picking between these: HifiMan HM-603 Slim Xeulin IHIFI960 Hifi E.T...- T.R.A.N.C.E.

Ak100 and amplifier
Hi all, I'm getting the AK100 and wanted to know if it was possible to connect it to a portable amp like the Fiio E12? I heard it does not have a line out like the X3 or Dx50. So the question is, do I need to get an external Dac/Amp and if so, would that mean I would bypass the internal...- beemarman
