HAHA well it doesnt exactly make sense
 
I had to get mine out of my bag and turn it on to remember where it was
 
How are you finding it compared to the DX?
 
I traded up from the DX to the AK based on its more refined sound.
I loved both but found it impractical for keep both.
The DX being more raw b4lls out sound and the ak100ii being tea toting awesome.

So far I like both but right now I don't find the 100II to be any better, just different. 
 
I loaded all but about 10gb onto the internal now but for some reason it is taking forever to rescan my sd card. Before, the almost full 64gb card scanned in about 10 minutes or so but it has been in there for 30 minutes (I have tried twice) and it still says it is Preparing SD card. I have no idea why it would take so long. I guess there is something wrong with the card. It is the same one I have been using but I tried another one and it is scanning ok. Interesting.

Strange.

If you browse by folder does it have an hour glass on SD card, no SD card or does it allow you to browse the SD card?
 
Mine always has a persistant notification saying something about the SD card (cant remember what without turning it on, using my Shozy Alien atm).
 
**EDIT** and I dont have an SD card in the AK atm.

Always switch on your ak and let it scan the library before you connect it to your computer,somebody also said they couldn't transfer content to the SD from a Mac using AFT,you should no problem but always switch the unit on before connecting.

  DIY balanced cable connecting AK100 II to Krell, works great and cost me 60$.
 

 
 

This is extremely cool, and a project I want to attempt next month when I go back to Tokyo.  I need to hear my 120ii through my balanced speaker amp and Fostex 2.1 speaker system.  My amp (early 90s Denon PMA-1) also has XLR inputs. I`ve asked before, but could someone, in absolute dummy terms, explain why there is the 3.5 cable joining in to the balanced line from the AK`s 2.5 TRRS ?  Why not just run one, 4-wire cable to the XLRs ?

You'll find that if you just use the balanced setup you may hear noise or a hum as a result of there not being a common ground between the AK and the amp. The dual setup connects the grounds from the 3.5mm connector to the Amp, thereby having not only L-,L+ and R-,R+ but now also grounds..
 
Notice the outputs on the official AK connector:

Thanks man; wealth of knowledge . . . 
 
That looks relatively easy to solder.  Is that the DIY one you have ? 

 

[jamato8]

Has anyone had a card that doesn't work? I have one that I mentioned in an earlier post that was working and I think I pulled it without ejecting it correctly and now it won't scan in the 100II. It works on the computer and on my other daps. I checked it for errors in Mac but there must be something hidden on it that the 100II doesn't like. It says preparing but never goes to scanning now.

 I'd try a factory reset and at worst a FW update. Some devices will see a card as defective once something like that happens.

Yes, it is DIY one I have...cost me just $60, so wallet and ear both are happy 

, hardest part for me was 2.5 TRRS soldering, rest part of wire was done in 2 hrs. I did terminate 2.5 TRRS into 4 pin XLR, so that I can also use them to connect balanced headphone I have.

The thing is it works with all my other cards, 128gb, 64 32 but this card now to it is corrupted. It took some time to load the internal memory so if I do a factory reset I have to go through that again and it is reading the other cards. 

 

[goodvibes]

It is what it is. I found similar issues with other devices. Card may just be unusable now without a reset or update even if formatted. I think the internal memory will stay intact on a reset and maybe even an update but would check before assuming that's correct.

 

[Wyd4]

I have had a few isntances with the AK where it has said my SD is corrupt, pop the SD in my phone and viola, its there.
Sadly though the only fix I had was to format the card and reload the files.
