I haven't heard the 240 so I harvest what others have written. :^) There is, as we know, so much personal preference. There are statements that I have read that dap A is better and than dap B and I wonder what they are hearing as I clearly hear something totally different. And so it goes. Internal storage is nice but I have been finding that for me, I am preferring removable storage because I may want a large selection of classical or jazz or rock and so on and prefer a type of plug and play. Great to have choices and even a few on hand to chose from as the mood suites.
Yes, for me I find it really depends on music/amp board/iem or headphone pairing between the ak240 and 901. For low OI/high sensitivity IEMs I generally prefer the ak240 with more precise volume control. With re600 and balanced card on 901 it pretty rival any of my more expensive IEMs pairing with ak240. Whenever I pick up my ak240 over 901 when I head out, I did so not for the SQ it for the convenience and battery (easier to charge with usb).
When I can carry more bulk and know I have time to listen I would strap my ak240 to the Hugo to get the best portable sound.
When I'm in a rush and need sth quick and pocketable, or going on a flight, I take the ak240.
