Bump w/ Price Drop

I am the original owner of this SE100, purchased directly from Audio46. It is in mint condition and has had the A&K provided screen protector on it since removal from the box. I have also always kept it in the A&K red leather case. The DAP has seen very little use and has no visible signs of...

Last I saw was this post, but I'd be excited to see differently if that's the case. https://us.astellnkern.com/blogs/news/astell-kern-kann-alpha-now-roon-ready It is definitely unfortunate. Has Roon stated a reason they want to handle that instead of letting Android natively do it?

Coming back here nearly 6 months later and seeing that the other A&K lines are still not supported is a bit of a disappointment. There is no good reason I can see why the A&futura line is not Roon Ready.

I really hope this comes down to the SE100, I bought it with the promise of Roon coming to it. Also really hope it's implemented like Tidal with special care instead of a straight OpenAPK install. Still very excited for this.

I have the Focal Clear and it droves them wonderfully. To the point of making me prefer the SE100 over my HA-1 DAC/AMP. I know the impedance on the Elears is a little higher at 80ohm vs 55ohm, but I think you'd be in for a treat. I do have to crank the volume pretty high as I'm just using the...

I've seen some rumblings of it coming, along with MQA, but at this time it does not have Tidal offline support. I don't think there's anything official stating that they're adding either offline or MQA either, just some talk of them looking into it / working on it.

Sadly, my SE100 won't be here until Monday. But my A&K red case is arriving today, and I've already got the Miter case here. I won't have fit impressions until Monday, but if anyone is interested I can at least share some pictures for comparison later today.

You really went all out going through that, thank you. That explains what I saw, the album view toggle. I'm curious why they didn't include more sorting options, but with the level of polish on this thing as a whole, that's pretty negligible for me. I'm guessing in Artist view it sorts albums...

Glad you ordered one too, I'm 99% sure it's going to be an awesome device. Now we play the waiting game. I caved last night and ordered the A&K red case. I'll make a decision then on which I like better and get rid of the other.

Tinnitus Man, Were you able to update the device once you got it home later? If so, did you notice any changes? You mentioned needing to scroll through all the artists songs album by album if they have a lot. In some of the SP1000 videos I've seen there are what appear to be sorting options at...

I wound up ordering the SE100 over the weekend, it should be here later this week. I ordered the Miter case and that's been delivered already. I think the A&K case looks a bit better, but at $59 you can't beat it. There's a review up on Amazon with a real picture of the A&K case and it looks...

Good find, the UI looks awesome. Definitely let us know what you think when you get yours. I hope to order one next week when they're back in stock.
