and now i do want to know if there are any difference based on this Russian Firmware Mod between stock AK100 and modded AK100.
 
 
 
 

The most important thing is that the sound quality has not changed for the worse, right? 

 

 
To me, nope, better in fact <3

And I use 2 almost full 64gb cards and few songs on internal memory.

Problem goes away after scan... loving this speedier UI. I am on ak100-111is, the sound seems a bit better.

 

[Gintaras]

so question, should one buy Ak120 now??? 

 
Oh THOSE Russians

Spkrs, how would you rate sonic differences between AK100 with Russian software and plain AK100? especially concerned about your observation with noise...
 
normally i am too conservative about updating any firmware but this time it sounds just soooo tempting, have patch downloaded but not installed yet

 
Gintaras,
 
As a standalone player I prefer the Russian..fuller and richer sounding, with a pronounced improvement in depth perception, width has taken a little hit though
 
Amped.....will PM you tomorrow regarding amps!

Dude, I sure hope you're not expecting me to put this firmware on both the MS-AK100 & RWAK100 for tomorrow's meet . I intended to do it after the meet. Or if you do, then I can too.

Put it in at least one, just for the UI is well worth it...and so much speedier than on the DX100 to do! 3 minutes max!!!

this link scares crap out of my wallet 

 
Anak, pls put this on your RWAK and let me know about results

The new firmware fixed the language problems on mine. Now all the chinese and japanese characters are showing up correctly!
Really loving this.

Well if it's just a UI and gapless change, I would have done it. Unfortunately tomorrow we're actually doing a RWAK100, MS-AK100, AK120, DX100, HM-901 test at Fujiya. So if this firmware is going to change the RWAK100 & MS-AK100 signature, it's kinda altering the test plan.

 

[Gintaras]

Ok Anak, but after test would you mind torturing your RWAK with this firmware upgrade?

I have a question about shuffle mode.  I do not have any cards in mine yet, just internal storage.  Most of the time I listen in shuffle mode.  I think I have about 300 songs on my RWAK.  What seems odd to me is it seems like a limited number of songs (say 30 to 40) are shuffling over and over on separate days and the rest of the songs don't get shuffled.  One day last week I went jogging and listened to about 12 songs.  Two days later I went out to jog and the same exact songs were shuffling over again!  Any ideas on how to get it to REALLY shuffle?
