Yes, at least on a Mac - plug in the AK300, Android File Transfer sees both the internal and Micro SD as separate devices. Choose and transfer.
I would assume that it would be similar on Windows.

Thanks! I have a Mac so that’s perfect.

I' also on a Mac. Android file transfer works perfectly, much easier than having to remove the SD card and plug it into the laptop with an AD adapter

I’m sure this has been answered elsewhere in the thread, but I’m unable to find the answer.

I got a mojo last week, to use with my AK300 and LCD-X’s, and I absolutely love how it improves that pairing.

My problem is that it misses the first couple of seconds of each track, every single time. It’s bad enough that I’m considering returning the mojo if there isn’t a solution

I connect to mojo via optical cable

When I connect the mojo to my MacBook Pro there is no problem. Has anyone else experienced this strange issue ?

Thanks

I've not experienced this issue myself, but have you tried turning gapless playback off on the AK300?

Yep, tried that. No difference. I think a hard reset is next step to try

I've got a few versions of Mozart's Requiem on my AK300 and they tend to lump together. Anyone know, on a Mac, how to change something in the file name so they won't lump together. I can always go to the folders section rather than the albums section but I wondered if there was an easy way to change the name on my computer before the transfer so they stay separate in the albums section.

Thanks.

A question for the experts here:

I'm trying to connect an AK300, via Bluetooth, as an output device - I would like to listen, via earphones, to an audio source connected to the AK300 via Bluetooth.
According to the manual, this should be possible.

I can pair the AK300 with a variety of Bluetooth devices that send sound, and the AK300 display tells me that a device is connected.
So I would expect to hear something. But, even if I turn up the volume of the sending device and the AK300, I only hear - silence.
This may be good news for my ears, but it's not what I want right now.

Am I missing something? Does listening via Bluetooth work for you?

Thanks!

Where in the manual does it show this functionality?

I know the AK300 can function as a DLNA player via AK Connect (WiFi playback), but I did not think it could act as a Bluetooth destination for media playback.

On page 37, "Using Bluetooth", with the headline "Connect a Bluetooth device to listen to music wirelessly."

It needs "A2DP Sink" to act as an audio receiver/destination and it doesn't look like it's enabled.

Kindly, How the Ak300 is compared to AK380? Is it worth the upgrade?

I have replied in AK380 thread. It is definitely worth!

Many thanks, Zuber for your reply. By how margin is the difference?

hi, i'm using ak120ii right now

from what i'm seeing on the market, although the ak300 is newer than ak120ii, it's price is much lower, though that might be caused by dual dac of ak120ii, but what about the sound ?
is it worth to change my ak120ii to ak300 ?
