I can't say I'm especially happy with it right now, I guess if I hadn't been using 1.0 I'd most likely have been happy. However has anyone else tried the comparison on 1.21 Computer +Dac Mode vs AK120. On my MBPR it does sound pretty good compared to just plugging straight into it.

No first impressions yet, but a question: has anybody noticed that there's a short fade-in when a track starts? Pretty annoying. Is there any way to suppress that?


Yes and no I can't see how to do it. I lose about a sec or two at the start. I figured that I could live with that...before the upgrade to the firmware!

Good, so I'm not crazy

They should seriously fix that one, this is dumb. Any song that starts with a bang now starts with a whimper. What were they thinking... This is almost deal-breaker material, that.

Wonderfull, I am happy for you.
I am getting one myself next week.
Where about in London are you? I am in South.
What IEM's or headphones you are going to use with AK120?

Hey Levi, I'm a North Londoner.
 
I'm going to be using my Tzar350s and 8.As to start with, but who knows what I'll be clamouring to buy in the next couple of months
