doh......yeah......doh.....well, i'm not sure if the doh shouldn't go directly to the ak100. 
 
Yes i was talking about imod rockbox, because i find it absolutely tragic that a 600$ player is repeating itself all the time, that it sometimes cuts files just before the end.....
 
i just installed the new firmware, let's see how that helps. If not, this little machine is back on the market.

Does the ak100 have a line out to a seperate amplifier? If so how do i use it?


Not as such, no...

But the headphone out at full volume is said to be equivalent to a line-out (something to do with the way the amp section works?...I'm not sure).

I can confirm that using the headphone out at max volume into an amp works really well.

This shuffle failure thing is annoying me so much it's almost a deal breaker right now.....thinking if selling it.....does rwa imod Play flac?

 
Same for me, I love the sound of this thing but I need a good shuffle as at the start of the work week I usually just pop on shuffle and let it go 8 hours a day all week then start again the next week. I'm getting multiple repetitions of tracks each day. It's unacceptable. I may sell it and get something else soon if it's not fixed.. even a $300 iPod could do shuffle right.
