I looked into the AKM design a bit, and come to the conclusion that using a dual chip design is more or less a novelty, and the 4191 front end chip was already in use 2yrs for an earlier chip. So this AKM "new" 2chip design may just be an intermediary solution, until we finally see a one chip design in next generation. Who knows. Here is a link to a discussion on this topic: www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/ak4191eq.350733/Your probably right. Its not ideal for a portable solution as it takes more room, more supporting components and I guess more power. I would imagine the 2 chips need to placed as close together as possible to minimise a variety of possible issues.

When you used a dedicated chip for DAC and a dedicated chip for interpolation, sampling, you improve the performances. Sony TA ZH1ES is doing that by themselves…..that means A&K could come to this conclusion by themselves…lol
