    Where is the download button for the 1.34 firmware?  I see the notice page but no download option.

    [CLOSED] Mojo vs micro iDSD vs m8 vs "?"(feel free to add)]

    It is amazing that when a new "game changer" comes out that months go by with no review against the previous "game changer."  Its as if the industry thrives off of people getting sucked in by the hype long before they get objective comparisons.   I would also welcome feedback on how the IFI...

    3.5 mini to 3.5 mini optical cable

    Sorry if there is a simple answer to this but I just spent an hour looking online without success.  Somewhere along the line I got a short four inc 3.5 inch optical to 3.5 inch optical cable.  It works great to connect my AK240 optical plug to my IFI Idsd optical plug.  I wanted to buy another...

      How have you affixed the adapter to the unit?  Tape?  I just ordered an adapter to try it myself based on your experience. Can you post pictures?

      If you are only getting 180gb on the SD card then it doesn't work.  What you seem to be saying is that it reads the SD card but only to a maximum of 180 even if you put in a 256gb card.

    I thought they said that the 128 msd limitation was an android ios limitation?

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    Ok another question for the group.  I have two problems with my AK240.  One is that the balanced cable that I purchased from Moon Audio looses connection because the plug changes depth when it turns in the plug.  The second is that when I try to play music over wi-fi I get a low static noise...

    Chord Hugo

      This is why Singapore has become an economic powerhouse.  You know how to find an opportunity.  :-)

    Chord Hugo

    Could be but the UK/Europe difference threw me off since it actually seems cheaper in Europe.  I was curious if someone smarter and better informed than me knew the reason.

    Chord Hugo

    Sorry to vary from the dominant topic but, does anyone know why there is such a huge price difference for the Chord Hugo between the US and Europe?  The US price is $2495 through its authorized distributor.  The UK price is £1,400 which at current exchange rates equals $2,117.22 .  The Dutch...

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    I purchased balanced cables from moon audio for my ak240. They did not connect to the plug reliably. Sound would loose channel now and then. When I asked if they could exchange the cable the person who responded said that the problem was with the type of plug used by ak and that there was no...

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    I haven't tried the AK120 or the K10 and the quality of variations in components is a matter of subjective taste so you may be right at least to your ears.  That said, my AK240 and SE846 is one of those few purchases that I don't regret despite the price.  I doubt that he would be disappointed...

    The Astell & Kern AK240

      Neo, you are complicating things too much by mixing the Chord Hugo and the AK240 into your considerations.  If you object is music on the move get the AK240, or if you need less storage its smaller siblings, and get an SE846 iem or equivalent and enjoy.  Adding the bulk and cost of the Chord...

    The Astell and Kern AK240 Impressions Thread

        I tried the balanced cable from moon audio.  It sounded nice but lost sound off and on if the player moved around.  I wrote to Moon Audio customer service and was told that it was a flaw in the AK240 balanced plug tolerance level.  I asked if the cable could be replaced and he responded...

    The Astell & Kern AK240

    Tiagojsag, let me try to share my experience in response to your questions:   1.  It seems to depend on the unit but most seem to move very freely.  Mine is not as tight as one would expect but works well for one handed use.     2.  Don't know, don't have one, never felt I needed it. Suspect...

    The Astell and Kern AK240 Impressions Thread

    I have to agree with Lorias.  I got my AK240 two months ago for about $2300.  It was and is some of the best money I've spent in a while.  I've listened to more music in the last two months than in the last two years.  I use the Shure 846 with it and it is always a great experience.  While...

    The Astell and Kern AK240 Impressions Thread

    Tolerance or lack thereof can apply to either the plug or the jack.  Moon Audio strikes me as a quality company.  It's possible that the particular jack size chosen by AK is the problem.

    The Astell and Kern AK240 Impressions Thread

    Moon Audio's position regarding the variable tolerance of the Jacks makes sense.  A plug is an easier device to build to tolerance.

    Moon Audio Tech sent me that response a day or two ago.

    The Astell and Kern AK240 Impressions Thread

    Moon Audio tech support responded as follows:   "The female 2.5mm TRRS jack in the AK240 is the issue. You will have to have AK replace with one with better tolerance. This has become a known issue with the AK players."   If they have known about this problem a notice on their site would...

    I got a silver dragon balanced cable to use with my AK240.  I find, however, that the connection is very unreliable.  If the connector is pushed or pulled a little while in the pocket earphone looses a channel.  You have to push or turn the cable to regain the full sound.  Has anyone else...

    AK240 song transfer problem (mac)

    You indicated that the files are all in M4P format.  The problem is not with the AK240.  It is with the type of file that you are trying to copy.   You cannot transfer M4P files to the AK240 or to any other non-Apple dap.  M4P are copy protected Itunes files...

    AK240 vs Calyx M vs HM-901 vs Fiio X5 vs AK120 vs AK 120 II vs R10/DX100? Ultimate SQ match!

    I'm not sure that this poll makes much sense due to the availability of the products.  It is very unlikely that anyone but a very few has heard more than a couple of these.  A vote is unlikely to be a fair comparison of all of the listed units.It would probably be better to illicit comparisons...

    Sorry Bro.  I don't know who you are hanging with but my AK240 with balanced Shure 846s are silent as a tomb.  If you can get your hands on a pair and hear hiss on a clear track​ I would urge you to get to an ear specialist quickly and check for tinnitus or some other condition. The output...
