Thanks for the reply, I just updated firmware.

After reading here on the possibility of using a 256gb card, I pushed the envelope and have just successfully installed / used a 512gb micro sd card by SanDisk, with a class 10 rating ☺Does anybody know whether 400gb sd card is compatible with ak 100ii? Thanks a lot!
Hi, thanks for your prompt response.From distant memory the first lot of AK100 had a high output impedance (20? 40? I forget) that skewered the designed frequency curves of the IEMs at the time (not that there were many)
If it is one of them a iFi iEmatch will help out it down to 1-2ohms output impedance
Thats all i can assist with sorry
Shozy bg is a great earphone.
I do not think it works as a USB-DAC/AMP. I tried too.Hi everyone, and sorry for posting on such an old thread. I still have my loyal AK100 and I can’t figure out how to use it as an external usb dac. I’ve tried everything posted here: 2.0 USB ports, updated firmware, selected the correct output on the pc, tried both Mac and windows, and yes, I’ve connected my headphones to the jack, but there’s no sound whatsoever. Both Mac and windows pcs recognized the Ak100 as Iriver Dac, but it just doesn’t work. Do I have a faulty unit?
In case I cannot solve the issue, will I be able to use it as an external Dac via Digital input? Thanks in advance

Very true. It works. But it depends on your luck.Hi, it does work, but it’s very picky. I tried with multiple devices and finally made it work with an old desktop computer running Windows 10.
I tried too, only usb 2.0 and older laptop.Hi everyone, and sorry for posting on such an old thread. I still have my loyal AK100 and I can’t figure out how to use it as an external usb dac.

Wow what a collection!Hi Astell&Kern fans,
Recently, I found and purchased four Astell&Kern early products:
AK100MKI/MKI, AK120 Black and AK120 Tiitan. ALL NEW in 2020!
Thanks Astell&Kern US team for helping me grab the last available leather cases, and my friends who generously provided me with the original standing dock, MQS album, and more. They are all in perfect conditions.
They are incredibly small and just of perfect size for me to operate comfortably using one single hand without worrying about dropping on the floor. Very good sound tune with warmness that is presented differently compared to their big brothers: SP1000SS and SP2000SS. They may not have that powerful performance in every aspect (OS/2.5mm balanced output/connectivity/CPU/Internal storage), but hey they still sound quite good. My paring: Vision Ears Erlkonig and Effect Audio Leonidas II Octa.
I especially love their volume knobs, brushed aluminum body and that delicate but retro slot doors for SD cards. Amazing build quality!
Let's see my collection. Let me know if you have any question!

Hi, I am still using AK100 (MK 1), I love it and been witnessing AK keeps releasing DAP of higher and higher price DAPs, hahaHi, is anyone still using AK100 (Mk1) in 2022 end??
I really love my unit and still rocking.
I have a question about it. Are the new dongle DACs like Lotoo Paw S2/Luxury & Precision W2/Cayin RU6 can be paired with AK100 via micro-USB to type-c cable??
Happy Listening to everyone here is a recent photo of my unit.
