Buy the cheap one then spend $250 with Red Wine Audio for the modification, making it the RWAK100.
I got mine done by an ebay seller from Japan, had to send it to him, spent $156 plus shipping to Japan to basically do the same thing. Unfortuatly this seller doesn't seem to have the service listed anymore.
Sorry folks if this is in the wrong spot or done improperly. It's my first time.
I recently purchased an AK100 MkII. I like it's fidelity very much. My source music files are all ripped Red Book CDs in WAV format, which live on a music server. Although they transferred to the AK100, they appear only in the "folders" menu, are sorted alphabetically by first name of the artist, and the folders are separated as 'main music', SD1 and SD2. So finding something is almost impossible. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the AK100 to see the appropriate metadata on my WAV files and produce a useable index, and can the index include all three of memories? Perhaps more importantly, is there a way someone like me with VERY limited computer skills can accomplish it? My knowledge of 'metadata' doesn't go far beyond spelling it. My efforts to get assistance from iriver have not been productive. Thanks.
Official HeadFi Code dictates that youshallwill spend 2X $ for the 5-10% improvement of the Mk2. You have no choice, do not question further.
