MediaMonkey works great for me.
 
I have multiple "sets" defined on my storage, then I use MediaMonkey to transfer the set i want.
 
 
Still a pity that OTG storage is not supported, simply hook up a 500GB SSD over micro USB and play.
The FIIO X5 can do that ... I hope the AK will too soon, I think it is pure software related.

Hi,
 
After weighting the pros and cons of several candidates, my two finalists would be either the recently added RWAK120II or the RWAK240...
To be paired with my FitEarToGo 334 and replacing my DX100.
 
I am still waiting on a proper review/comparison of AK120II vs AK240 (I saw someone on the forum who would be doing such a review soon, as soon as he got the missing player). That might be the deciding factor.
 
Then, I will wait for the next good deal on AK products.
 
Any thoughts ? (please do not advise me to get a chord hugo, I am sure it is great, but to me it is not portable anymore

I've been having similar thoughts... Just difficult to get some. reviews on the rwak models. Personally, I think I lean more towards the rwak120ii as I think that fits my sound signature preference better... Plus, I love the design of that unit. I don't think I'd like the regular AK240, so I'd probably send it out for the mod too.

my choice would be:

rwak120ii
rwak240
ak240

 

[ricou]

Yes, it is difficult to make a choice, without actualling listening to them first...
Personnally I like the AK240 design more than the AK120II, but we will see what the reviews will say

 

[warrior1975]

Yes, some people do... I wish I did, it would make my decision easier. lol... oh well.

The Headfonia comparison is the only one so far?

  For some reason I am now having issues with transferring files over to the AK100II. After a few songs are sent over from my Mac using the Android File Transfer app, an error pops up saying "Could not copy file.."
 
I am trying to transfer music to the internal storage area, as I had no issues at all with my 128gb Sandisk card. It's strange.

I do get this problem when transfering music to the AK100II internal storage, I think I'll just wait for a firmware update for this fix. I got the error pop up only once btw

What sucks is I was hoping to max out the AK100II with 64+128GB worth of music, but now it looks like I am stuck with 128GB from the external memory card.

I maxed out the memory here, now I got only around 5gbs of free spaces(64+128gb), try to restart the device before doing the transfer data, probably it works

I have tried restarting the device, and true to my IT background I tried another machine and replicated the issue on the 2nd machine.

I've seen some posts on the 240 thread about this and work arounds.

I have tried Iriver and Media monkey and the sync is slow and always wrong. There are times when it repeat syncing the same thing over and over again even though the files is already in the device. Big waste of time. The last straw was Device reported full when I just want to add a new album in it and is far from full.
 
I am using good sync instead. And it clean up the files automatically, does not sync stuff over and over again. Every time I plug it in,  It will automatically compare the source folder with Device folder and if it notice a change, it will sync only that part. Perfect. Now everything is in sync. Good thing about it is I can see the right column as my source and left as AK240. I can see exactly what is going on as its left and right comparison. Best of all, if I delete a track in AK240, the source will be deleted too.. There is an option for a 2 way sync or 1 way sync (source to AK only).

I used my Sony JA50ES MD-deck as a 20-bit DAC for my AK100II using optical. The output is connected to the Little Dot MKIII tube amplifier. The Shure SE846 is connected to the MKIII. The sound is pretty amazing.

I was having the same issue too. It seems that it doesn't let you copy over new folders--i.e. you cant copy over a folder for an artist that contains Albums > Songs. 
 
What you can do though, is open up iTunes, select all the songs, and drag that in to the music folder of your AK100II. Of course you'll lose your folder structure, but at least it will be on your device.
