Thank you, I appreciate that!

I like the colors.

I treated myself to a new mini-to-mini cable (Ref8 from ALO), which is totally unlike me since I am not a big believer in cables, especially these short portable interconnects.  I do like it, however.

I like it a lot form factor and the UI are great, the sound quality is great and very detailed I was using the Fiio X1. In my opinion it is not $800 better then the Fiio X1 just based on sound. It is more detailed then the X1 but I was expected to be blown away but I was far from it. I listened to the AK240 and the AK 120II they all sound great just not for the price the AK240 sounded a lot different then the other 2. The Ak100II sounds more neutral then any of them to my ears, when buying AK products laws of diminishing returns is a huge factor.
 
I am for sure going to keep it I love they way it looks and it's build quality and user experience is way above the X1.

Not the fanciest nor the most expensive, but it does the job pretty well

the mini box is great, but the Traveller is better and my 901 suffers from an imbalance problem from the Headphone output, its a problem with the normal/balanced switch.

I have to switch this off and on 39 times to get a central image.

The line out doesn't have this problem.
The combo is totally impractical but does sound magical.
