Hi, I recently purchased the AK70 MKII and have an issue with playlists created in Jriver not syncing alphabetically on the DAP. I've tried deleting all data and adding the playlists individually, but nothing seems to work. Thanks for your help in this matter, it's "a makin' me crazy!".

Thanks for your reply, that is what I thought. I'm curious about how the X5ii sounds verses my stacks. I am running .WAV files through the iPods and listening through EL8's,HD 650s, AKG kxx and occasionally SE535s all with balanced connections. I suppose I should wait for an under 1000 usd DAP...

Sorry for being impatient, but I was hoping for some feedback to the above question before the Massdrop offer on the X5ii expires. Thanks!

Does anyone have experience pairing the X-5 in a stack with CLAS/ALO or Centrance M-8? I want to replace one of my older 160 GB iPods and from what I can see the X-5 seems to be the best DAP in the under 500 USD price range. Thanks!

Has anybody heard more about the Alpha Dog upgrade program? 

I have the same "earddiction"...

I have the same earddiction"...

I too will wait for some upgrade impressions. But I am very tempted to send mine Dogs off right away...

Great, but I wouldn't use the word cheap for Oppo products, even under 699 USD. Hope to grab a pair when I'm visiting the states in the beginning of March.

Sorry, I didn't have a chance to read the entire thread, has Oppo hinted to the price point for the PM-3? If they can come in or around (preferably under) the 500 USD mark it would be greatly appreciated. ;-)

I sure hope Dan finds a way and that he's aware there are a lot of us out there that would pay a reasonable amount (e.g. the 400 USD suggested) for an upgrade. Having purchased the Alpha Dogs and a nice Double Helix cable to compliment them, another 1000 USD investment on the Primes would wipe...

All of us who already own Alpha Dogs and are willing to shell out 400 USD for the upgrade will be waiting anxiously for the middle of November.

Frank,   Please see my PM and send the proper information. Thank you.

Good night and good luck.

You both seem to miss the point that as late as march 1st I was being told that the item hadn't shipped yet.    From: Frank Donghi [mailto:info.toxic.cables@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2014 11:04 PM To: Robert Polo Subject: Re: Adapter   Will go out next week.   While I laud...

The communication error remains. As late as March 1st I received an email reply that my product would ship the following week. "All those attacks"? Don't be such a drama queen...

Thanks for the message, and as I see the tracking information says it was delivered, it wasn't to me. It must have been lost and they botched the paperwork to cover their mistake because I can't see someone coveting such a specific product. Thanks for the follow-up and I look forward to finally...

31/2 months is not a plausible waiting period for an adapter, full stop. You can jump to Frank's defense if you'd like, it's not a personal attack; regardless of the product or vendor, such an excessive waiting period coupled with a lack of communication is not a very good customer service model. 

That seems odd since i have your email from January where you say 4 to 6 weeks, then another email dated March 1st where you say "it will ship next week". When you find the tracking number send it to me, I would be interested to see where it disappeared. If you are going to put a full value on...

Hi Frank,   Funny how you can joke about not sending a product out a month after stating the delivery would go out "next week". Now more than 3 weeks after the product should have arrived you're poo-pooing it with a bit of levity?   The order was placing in the beginning of January at which...

Hi Frank,   I have written you several times regarding a ship date but you haven't replied. Please message me or reply to my email. Thank you...   Regards, Robert

I am SO in!
