Why? I love my AK100. No way that new sony is going to be better purely in terms of SQ(but you do need to mod your AK100 if you are using iems)

Some impressions from people in japan say that it sounds better than both the ak100 and ak120, but we shall see once it is released. If the sony does turn out to sound better than the ak120, then getting either the ak100 or ak120 would be a waste of money imo.

AK100 is not bad at all, but its SQ is also nowhere near its price suggested.  Same for AK120.  You are really not paying for the SQ. Modded or not.  I loved them for what they are but not the SQ.
 
The AKs are nice packages with good size, good UI, good design, good built quality, good cases (from Dignis).  They got a lot going for them compare to other DAPs in the market now, but the Sonys seems to be posing a great threat in ALL these areas that the AKs excel.

There's a mechanical beauty to it like the transformers. Plus it looks very well built and tough as buggery

What gear were these people using to come to such a conclusion? If they don't provide that info I'd take their opinions with a pinch of salt.

My new Theorem 720 out the box pictures

Source : iPhone 4 s
Dac / Amp : Cyber labs Theorem 720
Cable : moon audio silver dragon v1
Iems :
No hiss to low noise
Earsonic Sm 64 v1.
Unique Melody 3 DD universal
Phonak Pfe 232

Hiss without music play
Demo 1964
Fit Ear MH 335 DW
Westone Um 3 x rc

Headphone : LCD 2 rev 3 Zero Noise
LCD 3 Zero Noise
Fostex TH 900 can hear very low noise / hiss

SQ out the box :

I am under estimate from this dac amp Thorem 720
SQ excellent if without hiss to BA iems
Power : the biggest power from portable dac / amp
Is bigger than my Alo RX 3 B
It is definitely more for Headphones than iems

Is you like clarity ,very good detail , very good separation, very excellent bass impact and speed and wide and tall soundstage than Cyberlabs Thorem is your choice

I love out the box SQ

My IMO
