You are spot on that we don't have a way to separate the two.  

My view is based on the sound I get when pairing it with the sr71b via HO.  The additional power do make it sound much better with most of my IEMs maybe except the fitear.  I was seriously considering getting the 71b before buying the hm901, and still remain interested if I do go for the rwak120B mod.


Hi kkcc,
When u tried the sr-71b, did u try them with your TG!334? As much as I like the power of the 71b, I found them to roll-off the bass of the 334 when using the single-ended. Have not try the balanced out of the 71b though.
Thanks

My Ak120 just arrived and tested it as a digital source on my Devialet DAC/Amp. I am using Lifatec glass cables (great as they are soft and light - so they don't pull that little machine off the shelf). I am getting very good sound quality (much better than my CD player) with files up to 96/24 and also DSD (as 88.2kHZ PCM). 176.4 kHz mostly works  (but not perfectly reliable)  but I have no sound at all with 192 kHz files (no signal message). I tried AK customer service but they had no idea yet.
Can anyone confirm digital out works for them at 176.4 and 192 kHz

No optical out for this sampling frequency? A possibility!
