Far too many "issues" for a product at this price point. I sent my AK240SS back ages ago.
What issues?

Other than the cable sensitivity issue I have had no issues with my AK. To what issues are you referring?
Other than my $2500 DAP being completely flawed it's great. How could you possibly complain?
...really? How are people okay with anything less than perfection at the price point?
A&K product quality is horrid. For the money it's embarrassing. Makes the Sony zx2 look like a bargain because it at least works without issue.
I don't get the enthusiasm. I have a flawed ak240 and a functional ak240ss and they are an embarrassment to my intelligence. Terrible battery life. Horrible balanced output. UI from the 1980s. Can't think of a single upside.
Man come one, we can't ignore when someone complains and send them to another thread. These points are valid.Here's a thread for you......http://www.head-fi.org/t/769832/companies-that-take-advantage-of-audio-enthusiasts
More people here like the AK240 than not.
I'm not trying to pick a fight or be obstreperous, but I do think it is absurd that so many are okay rationalizing material flaws in a $2500-3000 iPod. It's one thing to celebrate what the player is good at, but I think we're doing ourselves a disservice if we're couching these things with phrases like "other than the cable sensitivity issue" or "other than occasionally getting my ears destroyed by random 100% volume" or "other than there being literally no support from the manufacturer when there's a clear defect with a particular player" or "other than occasional playback glitches." Even taken as a subjective review forum, this seems like odd behavior when talking about a multi-kilobuck device.
If I am out of line or if our goal here is to just come to these threads for confirmation bias and to feel good about our purchases, I guess I missed the point.
I have almost no problems the only persistent one is the first time I connect to my Mac, I get an error which says cannot read unplug and plug in. I do it works no problem both copying to and from the internal drive and the mini card.

Edit: It's not fair to say I can't think of a single upside; the sound quality is good when everything is working.
