You can try and load some Hi-res flac files or at least 16-44 flac of your favorite music on micro-sd card. Better quality sourcefile can make a big difference without high costs. Sony Music app works fine when you play full albums.

So when I test the amp of the Pro-I, I compare with my Astell&Kern and use much more expensieve headphones. I think for a better sound balance, you have to look in a bit more expensive headphones. I think the amp takes out the quality in the range of headphones till E 1.000,—. Above you can...

What do you mean with pairing? I am so fond of the Pro-I, cause it still has the 3,5mm minijack for a wired headphone. The more expensive the headphone the more you get out the headphone amplifier. It’s very good. Big improvement compared to my Experia Performance. I use Ultrasone iQ in-ear for...

Or maybe a g-sensor? Do you hear it too?

I use Tidal app and download Master Quality to internal memory of the PRO-I. On the run I play Master Q in the Off-line mode of the Tidal app. (Hi-Res) Files on microSD are play with Sony Music App. PRO-I Sounds much better than my Sony Xperia performance, great that Sony stil has an eye for a...

Maybe every 6 months on the support/download site of A&K a stripped .apk version of Tidal that runs with Android 6 in the OpenService portal?

Today I tryed to update my Tidal apk in openservice from 2.67.0 to the newest available. Bad luck! from 2.68.0 and next minimum Android 7 is required. Time for firmware update? Isn't it a bit early to cancel support on 3k+ device?

Maybe your modem has "black listed" your a&k. Look into your router which device you can see.

Android 6 customized

It’s in this thread some were. It a custom version made by A&K

Tryed apk extractor yesterday. Found the extacted apk with Windows Finder, copyed this in the OpenService folder of the sp1000 Worked fine. The 2.61 version was also updated in ApkPure. This time I used the pure version for now to be Shure.

Didn't Hear back from JasonNYC on this matter. I wonder wheter sp1000 is limited to a max amount of items to index?

I am going to try it with Tidal 2.61 Android version and see what happens. Maybe a bit miss hit in making the index of music on the 1tb in the MicroSD slot caused all my trouble since nobody else is having my trouble.

So now I can copy the extracted file from my phone to the OpenService folder of the SP1000? And install it without any problems? Does A&K accept these apk’s? Because there is a specific list of installable programs, as far as I know. Yours mdp

I see in Android Play Store, it’s the newest version. I just hope that changes for the better are made. I am not familiar with ways to put all the stuff you show on my dap. What do you mean by “smp “

I am still having problems with my Tidal OpenService install. Am I the only one? Yesterday I did factory reset without MicroSD installed. After that mounted 1 tb SD card and let the dap play till the new music scan was finished. Now I am waiting for version 2.61 to appear in ApkPure

I think not. 3 minutes max. To never shut down and sleeptimer van be set to never

I pm olddude and JasoNYC for this matter

Yesterday I received a email from Tidal support, my ticket was closed due to not responding within 3 days. They didn’t solve my problem which started 6 weeks ago. They ask for a report generated from developers mode of android. I can’t even see which version we are running, just firmware...

At this moment I think the problem is handeling of the buffer memory/cache management of the Tidal app. It even gives no message of lack of memoryspace. It is Just frozen and later crashes

Yesterday, I downloaded files by Ak connect from my Nas Content counter up, removed Them again. Memory was freed again. Added files were found automaticly by a&k. Tidal install in OpenService install is very slow, and streaming Music starts slow, plays interrupted, stops playing. Then message...

On my computer I can’t see in finder were Tidal leaves the offline content. All files were in the appropriate folder. Tidal apk put in the OpenService folder and installed by the A&K.

Hello Olddude, I’am busy with this for 3 weeks now. What I forgot to mention was that before this trouble started. The Sp1000 lost all his artist/album index data. The were gone at startup. In folder view all the files on the 1 tb microsd card where still there and selectable and played well...

227 Total space? It had 256gb internal memory. That means system takes 29 gb! Total content is more that 256gb. It doesn't add up

At the moment Tidal is Frozen. Stuck at 750 tracks to go in downloadque. Opening the app starts with normal screen. Then message: Tidal is not responding. You can chooce wait OR stop. Then Tidal chuts down. I did factory reset without unmounting microSD card (I was so frustrated, didn't thing of...
