Hello Marek,
 
You are correct, the USB DAC function on the AK100 and AK120 gen 1 players does not support USB 3.0.
 
The USB DAC mode is not compatible with Linux based operating systems.

 
I know that You are talking about second generation, but here is response from official support, I think they may release new drivers for second generation, but first generation probably will be skipped.

The shuffle function on this is just awful. !!!  It just keeps playing maybe the same twenty over and over. If you want to hear anything else you have to keep hitting forward. And going backwards is very, very hit and miss , at the moment it doesn't seem to be doing it at all.

Hi there!
 
I had an unpleasant surprise this morning. It seems that my AK100 has deleted about 35 GB of music from one of the 128 GB Micro SD cards. I'm absolutely sure that I haven't deleted anything myself. It started as usual with a message from my iMac that one drive (micro SD card) cannot be read, then I removed both SDs form AK100 and put back. The lost drive was recognized, but 35 GB of music have disappeared from the second micro SD that was visible before. Maybe the loss of information has nothing to do with my AK 100, it's just a defect of Sandisk SD card, but it's annoying anyway. I'll fill it up again sure however I'm starting to feel a bit reserved against this unstable gadget.
Has anybody encountered something like this?

Don't try and fill  it up again switch it off , then switch it on again and let it run a library scan. Your music will pop up again. I quite often find either a whole card has vanished or if it is there find  nothing in it.  When I do what I said here it comes back.  
 
 
I think Ak100 owners give up quite  bit for wanting great sound.

Switching off and library scan didn't help. I tried it several times. Unfortunately.

 

[DiDi]

 Damn that nearly always works for me . Maybe  it is  something wrong with the card, because I don't get that message,  Can you try it  elsewhere.
 
One thing, when I add new stuff   it does a scan, but I always have to switch it off then switch it on and scan again before I see anything.

I think you need to 'slow' format the microsd not using 'quick' format

What does that mean ???  Actually it couldn't be any slower surely

The AK100 can only read FAT32, if I remember it correctly.

The 128gb microsd (or 64gb) needs to be formatted thoroughly. I remember a friend having bought a 128gb and his AK not recognizing half his music. It got fixed by formating the card by not using quick format.

exFAT support was one of the 2.40 firmware features.

 What is quick format. ??

Just go into "all songs " and select any song when that happens.  You will get a new random playlist.  The same old one may come back after restarting the device though.

It's a windows pick in the format drive function. You have the choice of 'Quick Format' or (regular) Format.  Regular probably removes more of what's on the disk since it takes longer.

That rather defeats the the shuffle thing doesn't it
