New problem with the ak120 feeding hugo. Before when screen turned off the stream became unstable/both headphone out and optical when runny 192 sample rate. Solved by keeping screen on. Now, a month later, hugo doesn't recognize 192 at all, no color, but still works on headphone out of the ak120. Appears that the optical is not streaming 192 at all but works with other sample rates that are lower. Yes the cable is up to snuff.

Do you know wether hugo's optical input receiver is designed to accept 192 (even if  it did it sometimes)?  My Devialet did 176 and almost 192 before it got "upgraded"but now it goes only up to 96 as the optical input receivers which work at 192 are discontinued.  I tested my AK120 on an earlier PSaudio DAC and it worked at 192!

Yes, i found the problem just about an half hour ago. There is a crack in my sys concepts optical cable. It is pretty new, i emailed them, hopefully i can get another. It worked perfectly but maybe it got jostled in my pouch or something and at the angle cracked. I saw the light at the bend and knew that was the problem.

Sorry about your cable. That sounded like it would be the problem...

Hi guys, My Ak120's case is pretty banged up and I think I need to replace it. Unfortunately AK120 is now a discontinued product and my local Jaben do not carry their leather case anymore. Does anyone know where I can get a case online without having to pay  exorbitant prices for shippin?

I'm looking at this thread but can't figure out where in it it was explained what I need to do to order the files in a folder to have them in the good order. Particularly for Classical Music. I think I have to rename the tracks but don't know how. May I get some help on this ?

I rename

I rename the files with a preface of 01, 02, 03, etc. so the play in the correct order.  for example,  
 
01 Beethoven_ Symphony #4 In B Flat, Op. 60 - 1. Adagio, Allegro Vivace
02 Beethoven_ Symphony #4 In B Flat, Op. 60 - 2. Adagio
03 Beethoven_ Symphony #4 In B Flat, Op. 60 - 3. Allegro Vivace
04 Beethoven_ Symphony #4 In B Flat, Op. 60 - 4. Allegro Ma Non Troppo
 
Hope that helps . .
