More of like functional difference, docking amp 100% fit

I also cant sure, my opinion is still AK380>=AK320, native DSD playback may be an advantage

Price difference between these two are significant, 15k vs 9k

Nope for T1 either 1st gen or 2nd gen, bcs the output power is too weak, even though you can maximize your volume in your AK but the sound impression wont satisfy you

Unless you pair with desktop amplifier, than it should be fine.

I guess you dont prefer folder play right?

I tried IFI micro series before, in high gain mode, to me, the sound becomes harsh, it makes your listening experience not enjoyable.

Like Joshua say, instead of getting IFI series, better get Chord Mojo for impressive experience.

But still, I recommend you bring your AK120 and LCD2 to test around at E1 personal @ Sungei Wang or Jaben Subang Jaya.

The simplest way to understand is:

optical cable: AK120 (transporter) --> Mojo (AMP+DAC) --> your headphone

I hope my understanding should help you

If you dont really care whether your headphone (i.e T1 ?) is fully utilized and size is not an issue for you, you can buy Chord Hugo instead Mojo.

Otherwise, you may need to buy an extra portable amplifier after you buy Mojo.

EDIT:
Thanks for correction

AK380 copper edition in CES 2016

source: http://headphone-plus-earphone.com/ak380-copper-pre/

I reduce RM1k to buy Hugo TT

wow, very efficient

Haha, so precious the copper AK380~

If I can choose material, I want super duplex material

there are different grades in super duplex also, but I am not familiar with it yet

chan liao, just mention one material then already know my working field

The power of the "AK belief"

I thought you will buy too

Sound quality of AK380 is one of the best in current DAP market

worth it or not? --> depends on you; to me it is not worth as I cant afford and there are better options/alternative with that price of AK380

The closest China contestant is Lotoo Paw Gold, which is not cheap also (RM8xxx)

You should have keep your 2nd last item in your signature instead of selling it

Haha, I am opposite to you, I not really like the sound from ZX2, but it is quite a good DAP.

A good DAP can mean good sound and details to your music preference or good amount of details for listening but not your taste.

To me, ZX2 is a good DAP, it has more details than my AK100II but sound signature is not my taste

If I don't like the sound, it doesn't mean it is an inferior DAP too

That is how I define it~

Dont worry, I am with you in final audio view,

It is not that complicated lah, you like the sound but it needs to meet your satisfaction, e.g. instrument separation, clean background, recessed vocal, 3D soundstage etc

I tried AKT8i and AKT1p at Sungei Wang before, balanced and paired with AK380 + docking amp

to be honest, quite a far difference from what I know about beyerdynamics, I felt AKT8i lacks of something when I compared side by side with my SE846, most likely it is vocal lah. But its instrument presentation does impress me.

BTW, I am not a fan of JH, especially Roxxane , but I can accept the sound from Angie and Layla

I suggest you try Adel A12, probably you would have same first impression as me: "Am I listening to headphone?"

Somehow I think your reply is suitable for "quotation"
