Astell&Kern AK380

Hard reset by pressing the power button for 12-15 secs?

Geeze.................. 


 


I can't believe my 380Cu has just died on me, even plugged in, the battery icon does not show when I press the power button

 


Any idea what to press to revitalize it?


 


Long press what and what?


 


Any help will be useful and much appreciated as I am traveling soon again....

According to the manual holding the power button for 12 seconds will reset the device. It says it will not affect your data, provided that the data is not in use when doing the reset.

Guys thanks for the advice.
 
I think my unit probably over heated playing it on high gain with the amp all day and then transferring files...and I suppose it was all too much for it.....
 
I waited about 15 minutes, and held the power button as advised and it has rebooted.
 
But thanks very much nevertheless, really appreciate we have decent fellow Head Fi-ers adding to the community......
 

Beers on me if we get to meet chaps.

Yup, indeed, so something to bear in mind for me.
 
I really didn't want to have return the unit for RMA as I should be off to Switzerland/London, Sunday, for a few days and had wanted to use the combo on the flight over and back...............

Maybe is time that you return to your older love - Tera Player )
Very reliable player.

Listening literally all day, the new FW gives a better sense of immediacy and spatial cues.

Bass is slightly more tactile, mids where they were and highs more present....it's nice and still maintains that non fatiguing quality.

All in all strong recommendation to update.....

Thanks. Sounds like I give it go then

This happened to me too 2 days ago, playing music when transferring files....and it suddenly stopped. No reaction on power-button, put it on the charger for a minute and tried it again...worked.

did they change the sound sig in ak380 with the firmware update, now i feel it has less bass than before after i updated
 
or i might be tired from work and not enjoying listening to music now

I'm with you -- if there's a change, it's minor.  I scrolled through the menu and didn't notice anything different there, either.  Any release notes?

Still NO Tidal streaming implementation ?

Unfortunately, no.  That's what I was looking for.
