Thanks for the heads up! Sounds great on my RWAK 380 and the interface works quickly and easily too.
Thanks to AK - massively increases the utility of the DAP.

I have the recorder. The normal package does NOT include any microphones. There is a very expensive package that isn't released yet that includes two microphones. I think its about 4000 USD.
This is a bit over the top as a recorder for doing things like recording your own podcasts or for meetings. This is a professional end recorder for recording music etc. I had real problems with the device until I found out that the bundled cables, at least in my box, were wired up wrongly. I then purchased my own cables and have had great success recording a piano with a pair of AKG C414 XLS mics. The noise floor is exceptionally low and it performs well. But there have been quite a few bugs with the software, with a bit of lag, combinations of config options doing strange things etc.
Another use for the recorder is a very high quality ripping device for vinyl/records. You can record them to DSD or 24 bit 24/192 etc.
The controls are on the 380 screen at this time. The extra app for the iPhone etc is not released yet.

Thanks Jonstatt. Answered all my questions. Sounds as though the recorder is both more than I need and (as no built-in mic) less than I need.

Never did TIDAL. Does it support all different formats such as DSD as well?. Will update soon on my 380. Also has anyone know if their is a difference in SQ? Aside from TIDAL. Thanks

Tidal is a lossless streaming service that offers CD quality, it doesn't support DSD though. MQA streaming is planned, but no idea when it will be out.
Mmm.....thank you thank you thank you! Astell & Kern........hopefully, offline listening will be enabled in the next firmware update. For now, the nearest proxy is to add to favorite (yellow star) to keep track of "my music."

so it's basically all the music on TIDAL is in a FLAC version?. Not high res formats.

Next time you update your DAP check for an update under system information, rather than just allow the OTA update and you will see the change log for the firmware revision.
