Line out goes from the dac out, not through the internal amp section. You then take that signal and amplify it with an external amp. With the optical out, you are using the AK as a source and taking that signal to an external dac to an amp to your monitors. You can't get a true line out of the AK100. The iRiver iHP-120 or 140 or some of their other daps had true line out. The DX100 and the HM-901 have true line out.
So, how do i get the true line-out? Why you prefer going thru the amp than true line-out?
