The M8 has its own DAC. Assuming you go optical (Toslink) to the M8 LX, the AK1XX DACs are bypassed.
I'm newer sorry if its a dumb question but gotta learn somewhere. Quick question if im going to output to the m8 lx will the dual dacs in the ak 120 make a difference compared to the ak 100? or will it not matter because it will use the m8 dac?
I wants my 24/96 update for the hifi-m8 ipod version. Nao, prease.

Yup. If Centrance is still listening, now would be a good time to at least comment on status.

I don't think that it's going to happen, at least on the Centrance side. Maybe with an Apple iOS rev. that is backward compatible.
With either A&K offering, you'll be listening to the DAC section of the M8 and not that of the the DAP. Now I believe the ak120 does play a couple more formats, like DSD. That, plus the added storage might swing one to the more expensive offering...
Not really. It's always been ambiguous as to whether they could accomplish it from the downstream DAC/amp side. And they certainly put forth the resources, at least for a while. Maybe they even hit a stone wall...
