Still cheaper than the stock AK240 in Germany.

  You can buy the gold AK240 here: http://www.dma-audio.com/product_detail.php?id=2373
24800HKD ~ $3200USD

Are there any other differences except case color and doc included?

Nope. From what I can tell its only cosmetic changes. Limited to 300 units.

Well,,,,,,i bought a limited edition Pono dap.......na.....i like my 240 unit so much I'd be afraid there would be the slightest difference, not to mention, inside the case no one sees the much gold.

To each is own. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who are willing to pay it's exclusivity. 
As far as internal changes go, the only guy I trust is Vinnie from RW. BTW, he has just released his mods for the AK240.

I think the gold edition also includes a bluetooth remote.

I want one of those BT remotes. Hope A&K offers it separately.

I agree, but can't imagine how much they would ask for it

Just FYI, effectively, there is no effective difference between a "line out" and a headphone out when using either with another amp, if the voltage output is the same. 

 

I think in the case of HUGO all of its connection can act as line out as it has amp section, so it is really directly coming from the processor.

Thanks a lot. very helpful: now It's UI is almost on par with the (supposed) Calyx "M" UI.  
 
- Is the "album art" presentation only available in the "album" function ?  Or does it also show album art thumbnails in other part of the UI, like for example when showing the content of a playlist or in "genre" or " artits" or "Folder "
 
- Is the scroll still zappy when using "album art" ? or does it show lags..
