i think the sound changed a bit in firmware 1.25 unless i am mistaken

what do u think guys?

 
Sound more warm with a little more boomy bass, vocal is more lush and sweet. Treble unchanged.
Good thing is when I change from bluetooth mode to balanced mode, it will turn the volume from Maximum to zero to protect your ear.
Overall I welcome the new update.

I am always scared of updates I recently updated to Windows 10 and went right back to Windows 8.1. I will let them fix all the bugs then try it again. I have no problem with the FW on the AK 100ii now.

What is the worst thing after upgraded to window 10 ?

 

[mike7898]

i have ak100ii yeah before it was 75 now its 150

they changed all in the new update

So what Your saying does that mean they made it louder? I'm probably doubting myself on this one?

For myself windows 10 seemed slower and not user friendly for my preferences.

Interface is a little cleaner with a better emphasis on whats playing.  MSQ has now been replaced with AK connect which does a better job of streaming and allows control of my AK100ii from android phone.  As for sound, I want to say that their is a slight increase in instrument separation as well as a little bump in the mid range warmth, might be just in my head though.  Definitely not a bad update in my opinion.  FYI, using it with a pair Noble Savants.

The FW also removed the decimal points thus the higher volume number.

Did the EQ controls change.

MSQ has not been replaced. It still works fully with all library functions.
 
If people are going to post their findings without reading first, this thread is going to ddegenerate into a meaningless mess of misinformation.

Sorry, MSQ has been replaced on the AK100ii FW itself, not on the host PC/server.  As for the EQ it seems the ability to draw them in has been removed, you can select 1 of 10 bands and increase/decrease them by.5 db.

MSQ has not been replaced on the ak100II FW. It can be accessed from the library functions and from there selected as the only source, which can then be further refined by bit depth.

Yup the EQ seems like a step backwards in a number of ways.  Still the same 10 bands and +/- 5dB range, but now you can't draw the curve with your finger, you also can't see what the preset EQ (pro, akt5p) curves are, and it also appears that any changes to custom eq's are automatically saved and cannot be reversed apart from resetting to flat.  I don't use the EQ personally, but I would imagine that all of these changes make it less convenient.

But you need to use the AK Connect button on the AK100ii, there is no longer the MSQ button located on the home screen.

No. The AK Connect button is not related to MQS. Just turn WiFi on and you have access to MQS as descibed many posts ago. What has changed is that you can no longer access the MQS folder view - only through the library functions. If you had read what people had been saying before jumping in this threrad would be a whole page shorter and there would be no confusion.

sorry to ask what does the msq do anyway, sorry for this newbie question, or is it just a way to sort music based on bits
