Emax

They are both 12bit. 

As far as the sound, my memory is that the S950 made more accurate samples. eg - the 
sample sounded more like a recording of the input, as to where the E-mu line seems to 
have a more discernable fingerprint left in the sound. But the S950 filter was not 
anywhere near as phat and warm as the Emax, but then again what is :) The other thing 
was the S950, though I remember it being available as a keyboard, was mostly a rack 
unit.  

The Akai has some advantages over an Emax, up to 2.25 MB of Memory (750k
stock) and an optional external SCSI, accepts HD diskettes, and there was
15,000 made which means a larger user base. Also it samples at up to 48
kHz.

But, if you want to make BASS samples the E-mu is going to be the hands
down winner when it comes to actual sound. The Emax makes great warm and
phat bass sounds
