If anyone wants the AURA, FutureShop have one in stock for immediate dispatch today or even better collection so you could be enjoying it this evening. :ksc75smile:

I have no connection with FutureShop, its just that they emailed me to say they had it in stock.

We are overdue a software update on this device. I love it, but problems with downloading from Qobuz, Tidal, and Amazon Music makes this a very frustrating device.
What problems are you specifically having? I looked back 10+ pages on this thread and did not see any posts from you about the specific issues you were having.

I’d been having a ton of issues connecting the divide to streaming services and downloading from Tidal and Qobuz. I’ve since reset the device and it is working better. I am still unable to connect to hotel Wi-Fi when traveling. Without access to the ability to put in login information, I’m stuck when traveling. I use this machine a ton when traveling.

When connecting to a hotel wifi. When you add the network in WiFi settings, go back to the home page. Give the player a minute or two, then swipe down from the top and in the notification bar, there should be a message to click to sign into wifi. When you click on the message, it should open a web page allowing you to sign into the hotel wifi network.

Ive had an extended listening session with the se300, comparing it to the sp1000 (using u12t- mainly, Monarch Mk2, Fostex th610, Meze Liric).
I loved it in general. Great soundstage width, great dynamics and very deep bass.
But to my ears, it wasnt as refined and full as the sp1000. Tbh, the sp1000 sounded warmer and more analog, with even better separation and more pronounced layering. Vocals on the sp1k sounded like they were in their own bubble, each instrument had its own very precise place on an imaginary stage. The sound was also slightly fuller and more rounded, with less sharpness. The stage wasnt as wide (still very big, on some tracks even bigger) but was deeper, more holographic and complex.
The se300 sounded more fun and aggressive, closer to my face and sharper. The vocals where more blended with the rest of the music and the tonality had a slight paperish flavor. With all mentioned iems and headphones the results were very similar.
But all these conclusions were drawn only after direct comparisons. As a dap the se300 is an amazing sounding device, very dynamic and fun. It also has this typical R2R soundstage, which is very wide and spacious. IMHO is better and more interesting than the sp2kT.

Hello friends
i hope that anyone that bought Aura IEMs can do a review about them
I already listened to them at Munich High End Expo and I thought they were the best IEMs i have ever listened to and I have a pair of Tia Fourte and listened to many great ones
i thought they sound bigger and fuller then Tia which already sound big and have a great soundstage !
Aura sounded Warmer without lacking details,
but I hope to get a review from someone that had more time with them!
