You have each DAC only processing the right or left channel.  Each DAC has less to process, which in turn can increase sound quality.  A&K claims to have accomplished this.

 
I'm calling complete and utter BS on that. I can see splitting the digital stream causing several ill effects and very few if any good ones.

Just got it today from Jaben Hong Kong, after a quick 10 min test, I can say the sound stage is definitely bigger than stock ak100, I am loving the low and mid. For me the ak100 is flat compared to this. I agree as Gavin said, definitely justified the price :D

Will upload more pictures tomorrow, getting late here...
 
UI menu is much better..........only criticism at the moment is, STILL NO GAPLESS unless it is user option. Will go through the instruction manual later.
 
So far, for me I feel price is justified

 but I have only listened with the FitEar MH335DW 

Hmm, to my knowledge, Gapless should have been a standard feature with the AK120. I'll find out for sure from our dev team.
