I just got my ak70 mkii!
First impression compared to my old fiio x5 is that right away the ak70 much crisper and wider soundstage,
the x5 on certain songs has uncontrolled bass with my asg 2.5, haven't experienced that with the ak70 yet. Still need more listening time tho!!
edit:
But I've encountered a weird bug with the software, whenever I attempt to change the time or date in the settings the whole thing freezes until I force restart by holding the power button,
has anyone had that problem?
trying to check for an update, but even after a factory reset it still errors out. any ideas?
this hasn't affected any of my listening experience and i likely won't use wifi to save battery anyways, but it would still be great that it doesn't show 9:00AM all the time lol
nvm after clicking through the settings for 1 hr straight i somehow got it to recognize the new firmware.. woo!! Just need a balanced cable now
edit 2:
nvm after waking up, this thing is bugged again, everytime after it boots it just goes back to 9:00 AM any idea
@JasonNYC?

so I went to the store today to see if I could get some help, unfortunately the store that I bought it from didn't have any demo units, the guy just kept telling me it is a software bug likely to be fixed with updates.. but when i went to the other stores with the demo units they didn't have the issues.. like here in the pic below, the USB connection says DAC while it is MTP in settings, tried factory reset and setting reset still no luck.
when I first got the unit there were a few odd problems too, like the battery was completely depleted, like not even holding the power button would show the "no battery" screen, had to charge it up before using, don't remember the last time seeing a device w/ 0 juice out of the box, then connecting to wifi the whole thing froze due to the "auto set date/time", after a bunch of debugging I just feel like it is either 1. something wrong with the real time clock circuit or cmos battery or something (if there is one), or 2. part of the system was corrupted before due to 0 battery
but again, all of this is just the problem with the clock, but it is somehow bothering me a lot more than it should be lol.. it's like buying a very good monitor/tv but the power led sometimes malfunctions, you're not buying it for the power led and you shouldn't even be looking at it when you should looking at the screen... anyways lets see if a&k's customer support can get me any help..
