just wondering, is there a service menu for this one ? since the lack of back or home bottons means the earlier combinations dont work.

They are releasing limited edition of SAO a35 next month. I wanna know does a35 sound worth of buying. I currently own an ak100ii BUT Sad to say that I really can't hear any difference between ak100ii and my iphone 6s plus.

If you like the interface, features and form factor go for it, they sound outstanding.
As do the iphones and the AK... all these devices are capable of a playback quality that surpase top shelf audio gear of only a few years ago.

My same brand 64gig worked first time but guess something in small print stopping the 128gb.  Prob keep it as a USB stick when move files between machines.  Guess I shall source a new 128gb card come payday!  Any you recommend/know to work??

I have just taken my first step in to Hi Res audio and purchased myself a set of Shure IE 846. Whilst these are amazing headphones I want to pair them up with a decent player, something better than my iPhone 7 plus.

I have just returned a 2nd gen Fiio X1 mainly due to the interface, but also the touch wheel which seemed to skip tracks just by me looking at it. I thought the sound was great but the niggles with interface has left me wanting more. I have been looking around at various players and really like the look of either the Sony A17 or A35. I have also had a brief look at the A&K Jnr but feel it it just out of price range right now.
 
EDIT - Astell&Kern AK Jr High Resolution Audio Player - Aluminium - Just seen this for £249 (Within range now)
 
Which of these Sony players would you recommend. Many thanks for your help.

  Guys, I need help!!
 
Setting up my A30 and did the volume limit removal with no problems.
 
Now coming to set up the player, I'm struggling and its prob something simple but its driving me mad!!
 
The player won't find and mount my memory card.  I've a Sandisk 128gb card which I was using no problem with my Cowon Plenue D.  Card works fine on the computer.  I've read all the Sony guides and it seems I supposed to be plug in and it should mount.
 
I put the card in, theres an orange flash as the player accepts the card and its showing as an icome on Windows laptop but its greyed out so it can't be used.
 
Any ideas??
 
I normally can figure these things out!!
 
Mat

Could you compare Plenue D and Sony A35 far as the sound quality is concerned?

My A30 just arrived! So far so good.
 
LDAC performs incredibly well. Sound quality is great, and the connection quality is flawless with my MDR1000x. I will be extensive A/Bing with my AK100ii before that ships out to it's new owner tomorrow morning.
 
One thing I notice -- no volume indicator? When I push vol up or down, all I see is a - or +

The A25 can do potos and videos but technologically and soundwise is Obsolete by now, if you can get the A30 get it the DAC is  a newer versión and it's purpose is only music no vids no pics, so the CPU-DAC interace is just focused on music decoding

I have used Sandisk 32GB MicroSd and 200GB MicroSDXC with no problem so I wouldn't expect any problem with a 126GB.

Interesting. I wonder if that can change in a future update.
 
Anyone else having trouble with the 200gb Sandisk card? I have the player updated to 1.10 and it still won't detect my card, regardless of how I format it. Despite seeing others succeed, I did a "chat" with sony support and they told me that 128gb is the maximum supported format, and that the 200gb card will not work. Looks like I might have to go out and buy a new 128gb card and be picky with what I put on it. LDAC seems to be worth the hassle.

So is the A35 better than the ak100ii in sound quality?
