The New iRiver/Astell & Kern AK100: A High-End DAP
May 12, 2016 at 12:14 PM Post #9,046 of 9,165
I also only use folder to play my music, so it should be Ok with 400 Gb.... 
 
My "RWAK100 + MOJO"  is ready to be upgraded to a 3 pcs brick : a SHURE KSE1500 is coming to be attached to this Duo

QUESTION: I use firmware version 2.30    I guess it is quite old version, but... I am happy with it

--> Does this  2.30 firmware version support well the 200 Gb MicroSD cards or do I have to install a more recent firmware to support those 200 Gb high capacity MicroSD ? 
 
--> I see on A&K site that the latest Firmware is 2.42.  Before I upgrade to it I would like people to confirm me that it does not cause SQ degradation or bugs issues ? 
 
thanks

  Has anyone taken this dap apart? My volume control is jumpy. I'd like to see if there's anything I can do. AK pretty much ignores my emails for repair.

 
this is the only pictures I have of it's inside

That's an AK120 though.


Cheers.

Looks like it's an optical encoder. Perhaps the knob shaft jumps in between cogs which makes it jumpy and erroneous. Mine seem to be put 
together using tiny torx screws. Is this correct? Anyone know the size?

So, now that we know that 2 SunDisk 200Gb can be used in a AK100 (total capacity= 432 Gb :), has someone successfull tried the SAMSUNG 256 Gb microSD in the AK100 ?

Hi I need some advice: I tried iBasso dx 80 and onkyo dp x1, detailed sound but with a too strenuous for my 225E grado, I also tried ak jr sound much better, but was lacking in detail was not strenuous, the ak 100 mk1 in SQ exceeds ak jr?
It recommended ak 100 mk1 grado 225E 32 hom?
thank you.
