I was lucky my friend wanted the UERM lol. Hope you managed to get into the deal too!
Too bad it's a US/Canada only deal... (I asked)

Like I said, "depending upon what you are looking for"
...if all someone wants is a DAP that will fit in one's pocket, then of course the AK240 might be the way to go. However, if someone doesn't care as much about the form factor, given that they cost essentially the same, people should also audition the Hugo and let the best SQ win. Cheers.
Anyone with a better grasp at Japanese please help translate to us

If I plan to use the DAP directly through unbalanced socket to my SE846, will there be any benefit having dual DAC vs single DAC?
I'm no technical person and I think dual DAC has not much to do with whether balanced or single-ended output. Balanced/single-ended is an amping design in a DAP/head-amp. Balanced, from what I've learned in the forum, has better ability to reject noise/interference.

I like the skinnier form factor, although they added bulk to it's height. Wasn't the original AK120 dual Wolfson? So it has the same dual chips(CS4398) as the AK240. With lower output impedance of 2ohms. I wonder how the AK120II competes with the 240(has the same dual chipset)?
This is just WILD! and just hammered it home that I gotta sell some gear in order to buy an AK240!!!!
Mike/Warren, can't remember if you guys had posted battery life tests yet?
I would really love to hear Mike and Warren's impressions with balanced cables on the AK100II and the AK120 II...
