Quote: 10-12 hours of battery life seems about right when listening to 24bit files. If you use it everyday, plug it in to charge overnight.

Quote: I bought my stock version directly from iriver's USA online store: shop.iriverinc.com. They're offering free shipping plus a free $50 download credit on HDTracks if you buy it from their webstore. Stock versions are also on Amazon, but you don't get the HDTracks download credit though.

Quote: Plenty of manufacturers post their customer service email address on Facebook pages. I've messaged them privately thru FB they're very prompt about answering it.

Quote: Why would asking a simple question like a support email address be censored on FB? Looking at their FB page, there's plenty of discussion thats way more controversial than a simple support email address.

Quote:   I had the same issue when I updated my stock AK100 to the 1.33 firmware. A quick reboot fixed the library scan problem.

They pretty much gave the same answer to someone else concerned with the 22Ω impedance issue and iriver's answer was addressed and posted in this thread some time ago.    Perhaps it's a canned response (a carefully thought out one at that) they're sending to everyone questioning their...

Quote: Drag n drop is the easiest method I found. If metadata isnt showing, I check for integrity with an editor like MP3tag or Tag&Rename.   If the files aren't showing up on the AK100, try the manual library scan.

Quote: Most excellent setup! i love it! Very similar to my setup (except for the Pico slim :P )

Quote: Wierd, my AK100 always reverts to the last song played when booting up. The menu you see should only be displayed when the optical mini cable is connected to the optical out port. Do you have anything plugged in to the optical out port?   Perhaps resetting all settings within the...

I haven't tried the IQ's but tested an Ultrasone Edition 8 with my stock AK100. It sounded great and pairs well, but probably due to the 30ohms of impedance. 

Quote: A CSUF meeting would be perfect for me. If one was setup, I'd be happy to attend!

Bumping this thread. Let's have a mini-meet!

Quote:   Connect the AK with the micro usb cable, hit "Connect as removable disk" on the AK interface, and it should show up as a mounted drive on your desktop.

Quote: What format are those songs in? I think i read somewhere that the AK100 doesn't support AIFF metadata right now. It only displays them on my AK100 as the filename. Playback is perfectly fine though. And naturally of course, WAV doesn't support metadata.   Hopefully they'll...

Hmm, it looks like the iriver ecommerce shop is now selling the official leather case for the AK100. Looks a lot like the cases shown in the thread previously, minus the neck strap (without having to order from outside the US). Snazzy looking packaging and not a terrible price either at $50 +...
