No worriesI will try it with another usb cable and see what happens, thank you for your help.
Probably a dumb question, but are you connecting to the amp or the AK380cu?

To the amp connected to the ak380 cu, but I have good news!, now it works, the problem came from the usb cable supplied with the ak380 cu, this makes me quiet angry, you spend thousands of € and you get poor quality usb cable, this should'nt happen Astell&Kern!.Two weeks ago I bought a new charger for a samsung s4, so I gave the supplied usb cable a try and connected it to the amp and voilà!! it worked!!
Thank's for the help!
"Internal storage is 512GB, with two microSD card slots for further memory expansion up to 1TB. Of note is that the USB 3.0 jack is OTG-capable so you may use a thumbdrive or self-powered external hard drive ....".

Glad you got it working, and I agree -- the cable should be top-notch for that price.

Relax and enjoy the AK380 copper. It's just wishful thinking.
Hmm, I'm beginning to wonder what accounting system they use at AK. Seems there are an awful lot of AK380cu for what I thought was a 500 piece run.
If my friend wasn't having such a hard time selling his AK380, I'd be tempted to join you.
Just saying and doing the maths, it is quite a hard sale BUT
380 Cu 500 x $5,000 = $2,500,000
Cu Amp 500 x $1,000 = $500,000
$3 million retail sales numbers, on top of the sales of the stock 380......impressive especially since we are such a niche market..............Pretty good in my books if they could achieve the majority of the Cu units over a few months.
Hong Kong has depleted most of the Cu stock it was given.
mmm.........AK USB cable failed? The supplied USB cable with my Chord TT also failed (to connect). That's why I use ALO Audio USB Green line. It works perfectly every time.

Yeah, and it's almost all profit. They tweaked an already developed product and changed the skin. I know they have costs, but nothing like brining an entirely new product to market.
I am a huge fan of AQ Diamond myself, used them off my computer connected to HD and USB Dacs etc..they take over 1000 hours to really sound their best though which is a bummer.
Should add it completes the sonics of the Aurender Flow...
