You would think a company the size of iRiver would have had this ironed out and if not right at first, by now. I should have mine later today. It will be interesting to compare to the DX100.

RWAK or standard issue ?

My dream DAP would come with Rockbox as the native UI.  
 
Wouldn't it be nice if 'some' hi-end DAP maker would quite screwing around with trying to make their UI from scratch and just use the thousands of hours of development time that went into Rockbox as their stock UI.
 
Just imagine:
1.) Gapless playback
2.) Totally customizable graphic equalizer with 10 zillion functions and memory.
3.) Plays every format ever invented.
4.) Starts up and reads all attached databases (SD cards) instantly.
5.) Pauses anytime including shutoff and restarts where you previously paused.
6.) Allows complete editing of all files including text and song order.
 
 .....and many, many, more things I have never even knew it did.
 
Thanks for letting me vent...

+1. I've installed RB on most of the DAPs that I have owned....every one that was compatible.

So how do you get it recognized by a Mac computer? I can't find it to install the new firmware. Never mind, I found it. So to update the firmware you drop the hex file on the player and disconnect? I don't find the instructions very good. Never mind, figured it out. lol
 
On the micro cards, how do you easily put them in and take them out? They are recessed so much that I have to use a little plastic tool as there is no way my finger can get them to seat in the slot.

It just shows up as a mounted drive in Finder for me.

I put in a fully loaded 64gb micro (Apple lossless, FLAC, and hi rez regular WAV)  that I have been using in my DX100. It scanned it and loaded. Listening now. Need to burn this thing in. I am using my ESW10's, which are easy to drive and I think excellent sounding for their size and price.

Guys, I think my rwak100 turned into a brick 

 
It was working fine earlier today, then tonight when I tried to start it, it just hangs at the loading screen.  the orange loading bar fills all the way up and the screen stays frozen there.
 
I've tried forcing a reset and the same thing happens.
 
So upset about this.. I've had it for less than a week
 
Anybody have any ideas?

can you see it and it's drive contents on your pc/mac...?
