this may be a silly question, but can the ak100 be rockboxed since its os is android based. Has anyone tried ak100 with shure se535s, is the pairing good even with the high impedance out put of the ak100?
Shortly after buying my player I had the need to call iRiver in California. I called them everyday for close to 2 weeks and know one ever answered. I also e-mailed them of which they never answered that as well. Pretty sad I'm afraid! Thankfully they have a dealer here on the wet coast of BC (Vancouver a 20 minute drive from where I live). If it would not been for Travis at the Headphone Bar it may not have ever been addressed....well certainly not from iRiver in California if I would have bought it from their online store. If it would not have been for the information and guidance I received from this forum I would have returned it weeks ago. I like most everything about the player except the glitches in the firmware, the company support sucks cause it is none existent! Seriously it's been 5 months since the last update and not a word from the company? Some indication from them like they are working on it would be nice.
Hmm...if RWAK and MkII...other than the price difference...I read from older post that RWAK would have a better clarity than a MkII due to a slightly lower independence. In that case, I would lean more towards getting a RWAK100...

RWAK is actually surprisingly better. Haven't heard the MKII, but if only difference between MKI and II is impedance, RWAK will sure sound clearer and more transparent. RWAK sounds better then MKI even with hps that are not affected by high impedance.
Since there are so many reviewers mentioned about the obvious difference between a MKI and a RWAK, guess I will just send in an E-mail to RWA. Hopefully the turn-around time will be fast as Ak100 is my only player around . Thanks so much for the enlightenment. Hopefully the mid and bass will pop out and shine again after the mods.
