I think I've got to the bottom of my DFF file issue... I tried to add metadata to it. Oops.- LondonGecko

Firstly, thanks for the quick reply - much appreciated. I'll try the media scan option. I'm not one for playlists, as strangely (it seems) I listen to albums! I will check the playlists box is unchecked anyway. I do leave everything on MicroSD, rather than on the player - so I'll try on the...- LondonGecko

Anyone had any issues playing DFF files? The tracks load, but as you as you hit play it comes up with an "unplayable file" error message. Any ideas?- LondonGecko

Pictures of Your Portable Rig [Part XIV]
AK SE100, Atlas Xeno IEM cable and Shure SE846 with Westone Star tips - overkill for the 6:21 train, but I love it. Started a few years ago with an iPhone and A-Jays headphones, before trying a Fiio X3, then an AK Jr with Shure SE425s... before jumping to an AK70 with Shure SE535s, then an AK70...- LondonGecko

I've just moved from Shure SE535s to SE846s (using the same Atlas Zeno IEM cable). The reality is they are much ore detailed and better suited to the SE100. The bass is clear, punchy and fast whereas I felt it was lacking a bit with the 535s. I must try the 846s with the AK70 Mkii before I...- LondonGecko

Yep... I had no idea. Why would there be lossy compression in a non-lossy format? Anyway, slightly tangental to the SE100 thread - which incidentially, I am loving.- LondonGecko

Interesting... there are things on Onkyo that aren’t on 7digital! I usually get my music from Qobuz, so hoping they’ll move to MQA.- LondonGecko

https://www.onkyomusic.com/ seems to have a reasonable selection (better than 7digital)... just deciding which album to buy again!- LondonGecko

Thanks. Horrible site... can't search by MQA, so having to randomly type in names of artists! If anyone knows of anything in the "rock" genre...?- LondonGecko

Tried that with both Qobuz and Spotify. Qobuz worked a treat... Spotify had a fit. Had to re-install the version I had working (v8.4.81.558), install the intermediate version (v8.4.82.664) over the top of it, and then finally the latest version (v8.4.83.625) to get ti working.- LondonGecko

With the Open APK stuff (to install Spotify) do you need to remove an old version before installing a new version, or can you just overwrite the old one?- LondonGecko

I'm starting to find that the SE100 is really exposing poor quality recordings... but conversely if they're good, they sound absolutely stunning. The sound is a little bit light on the bass... so wondering if a change from Shure SE535 to SE846 will address that? - Anyone got any thoughts on...- LondonGecko

Slowly getting used to the SE100, after the AK70 MkII. It really is an impressive beast, although as I feared it's exposing the fact that I now need to upgrade my IEMs...- LondonGecko

Jason, firstly thanks for the reply - great to see someone from AK on these forums. A simple + next to the album to epxand / collapse the view would work wonders. Alternatively, the same sort of view that the AK70 Mk2 has of album covers (tiles or list) would also work, which allows you to...- LondonGecko
