Anyone know how to change the sorting on any given track list? Some albums I see in the ascending order and others are descending. I make sure all my tracks are numbered correctly. My playlists are also in descending alpha order too.

Hi,
I have interest on a modification of my ak240 by redwine audio
 
I know it is called rwak240.
 
what do you prefer between rwak240 and ak240ss?
 
when I've heard ak240ss, it sounded better than ak240.
 
what is a better way to get better sound between modification of ak240 and getting new ak240ss?

RWAK240 vs AK240SS? 
Both are different. RWAK240 has a better high extension and better textured. The midrange is also very seductively transparent.
AK240SS full bodied and warm. I prefer the midrange of RWAK240. It's a tough call.
If you already own Ak240, I think it's best to go with the upgrade RWAK240 route.
Otherwise you can go and buy ak240SS and still have the option to upgrade into RWAK240SS for the future.

I could not hear a difference between SS and RwAk240 owning both. And calling AK240SS warm and full bodied is really a stretch IMO. That is why I tell people to tryst only their own ears, because we visibly all hear different things.

I agree wholeheartedly. It's like paintings some people are cursed with such eyes and willing to pay millions for a painting. The same with those who can taste different wine or different quality food.
As for me I could hear difference substantial enough between AK240SS and RWAK240. I was even impressed with the improvement from AK240SS to  RWAK240SS and now my AK380 is already in the middle of RWAK upgrade.

I decided on a different route for "upgrading" my AK240
 

 
Not quite as portable, but the difference in sound quality is night and day.  The AK240 on its own is anemic in comparison.  I've got a 6" toslink to mini toslink on the way from Moon Audio, once that gets here I'll see what the best way to bundle them together.

I've been thinking about a Chord- specifically the Hugo.  The thing I've become addicted to on the AK240 is the sensational DSD playback.  
 
The AK won't pass DSD to the Chord-- isn't that a bit of a downgrade-- on DSD files only?  I'm sure the Chord improves any other type of file.

I've played plenty of DSD files on the AK240 that it then sends out as regular PCM to the Mojo and it still sounds way better than the AK240 itself.

Good to know.  Because the AK240 into my WA5LE is mind blowing as it is.  Now I'm seriously interested.

The Mojo is seriously powerful too.  You can't see it in that photo, but that plug actually belonged to a LCD-4.  I was at Stereo Exchange on Thursday to listen to the LCD-4 at the little event they had, and Chord was there with the HugoTT, Hugo, and their 1 day old Mojo.  I tried the LCD-4 with all 3, and at least in the not ideal listening conditions and the limited time I had, the Mojo was very much the equal of its far more expensive siblings.  It was that fact that it was able to drive the difficult LCD-4, that I knew it would have absolutely no problem with my LCD-X in comparison to the AK240 itself, even when using them in balanced mode.  The thing is honestly so good that I haven't been using my Uberfrost/Lyr 2 Schiit Stack since I got it home.

Does anyone have instructions + the FW hex previous to 1.25?  I think it was v.1.18.  I have an AK 100ii
 
I upgraded this morning, but would prefer to rollback to the previous version asap - the new menu added two extra buttons, which now cover up artwork not he main screen (not when playing) but the previous screen.  I couldn't find a way to edit this.
 
Has anyone been able to 'rollback' successfully?
 
Thanks!

Hex file from AK

Hi ledzep, do you know if the hex also works for the AK 100ii?  Any chance you could share it?  I'm also hearing a slight 'thud' sound every time I tap the 'next' song button.
 
Thanks!

No just the 240 from what AK told me , you could always email them and ask for a hex or try to get a custom hex from the net.
