Anyhow, ill will stop now, and hopefully move to better things, but unfortunatelly its all true..

I had the same problem. Spend hours selecting songs to transfer while it keep disconnecting all the time then all gone. Every file gone. Factory reset, start over... About fourth time in three days i gave up and use Windows... All fine now.

Its 2015 and AK has not figured out copying files task.

Great - thanks very much. Any suggestions for a balanced 2.5mm TRRS cable? I have Toxic cables on the Miracles which have been great.

I have the Norne Audio Vorpal Series 8 Wire and it is great.

Is it easy and does it take much space, any complications?
I can't believe i am even considering this coz of the stupid machine, so frustrated..

I don't own the Miracles, so I can't give you any good recommendation(s).
 
But I agree, though, that Toxic cables are pretty darn good.
 
Perhaps you'd want to try out cables from Wagnus? Those are something to behold. Its a long, long waiting time, though, should you plan to order anything from them, since they have quite a staggering amount of orders atm.

Its not hard if you familiar with installing windows etc. pretty straight forward. how much space depends on you as you can set it.

I use a cable built by Ted Allen. There is a entire thread on H.F. to check his work out. Which is excellent, with reasonable pricing and short build and ship time.

BTW, you can edit your existing post to add new comments. You don't have to add a new post every single time. It's kinda spamming this thread.

I have.
 
Anyway, just go and research about USB 3.0 and AK240. I could have sworn reading either early in this thread or in some other AK240 thread that the AK240 doesn't like USB 3.0 ports. Search "USB3" in this thread.

I have always been syncing my AK240 with USB3.0 and I am fine.  However, not all USB 3.0 chip set behave the same, and some require firmware update to fix some of the bugs.  This is the Anker USB 3.0 hub I use, and note the chipset and fireware version.

I picked up the dock from Amazon, had a great deal on an open box. I have to say, I am not that impressed, I almost think it is a waste of money. The one I have gives a lot of play in each position, do they all do this?

Ive been using mac and ak240. I organize my songs by artist -> album (even by folders) and load them by album as well. had only minor issues. Its not the most perfect with some spotty connections but overall was ok. Biggest have been 5gb dsd albums per transfer.

Guess ive been lucky (pls dont jinx me)
