    Astell & Kern SE100: A&futura Impressions - Reviews

    Something I've found a bit annoying. When I try to scroll through my library to find a particular album I have to scroll through all the albums and their songs above/below. Often times doing so erroneously selects a song for play. Is there a way to collapse the lists to show only the albums...

    Excellent. I will try that next time. Certainly faster than rebooting. Thanks for your help and speedy reply.

    Hi Jason. I'd like to follow-up on this issue. I started out my listening day with my SiriusXM service and after being annoyed by it cutting out (again probably not due to the device but network traffic) I switched back to the library on the device. I tried following your tip, dragging from...

    Downloaded and installed the latest firmware update. Seemed to go well. I will be listening to it all day today so we shall see. My only complaint of late is more with the SiriusXM service than the device. It stalls frequently without any error message. Other times it stalls and reports it...

    I was able to repeat the problem. Left the SiriusXM app open and played music from my SE100 and just now it stopped in midtrack.

    Hi Jason. I think your suggestion is doing the trick. It's obvious to me now that I wasn't properly closing the service when jumping over to my music library. Since your post I have opened the SiriusXM app, ran it for a short while, closed it as you suggested and haven't had any issues with...

    Thanks Jason. I wondered the same thing, if the app was closed, but didn't know how to tell. I'll follow your suggestions and let you know if that works. Easy enough work around if it is.

    Update: In case anyone at A&K is listening. I seem to have figured out the conditions under which this problem occurs. At this time I loaded the SriusXM service to my SE100 according to instruction provided by A&K. If I use the Sirius app for a while and then switch back to music on my...

    I noticed since I upgraded to the most recent firmware version that my SE100 will occasionally stop playing in the middle of a song or not progress to the next song in a queue. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    That worked! Pretty easy. Thanks.

    Jason, how does one update streaming apps on the SE100? I don't see that covered in the user's manual.

    IEMs vs Full Size Headphones. Can IEMs ever be as good?

    Thanks Gents for your comments and sage advice. This has been helpful. As much as I would like a pair of high-end open monitors I think my first purchase should be a pair of IEMs. Now to start researching IEMs! LOL!

    IEMs vs Full Size Headphones. Can IEMs ever be as good?

    I listen to a variety of genres. Prog rock, Blues, Jazz, mostly. I have some high frequency loss so I find myself looking for a bit more treble. Not sure how important that is in selecting monitors.

    IEMs vs Full Size Headphones. Can IEMs ever be as good?

    Open are probably not going to work for me given the environment I’ll be using them in. I’m willing to pay up to $1500.00.

    IEMs vs Full Size Headphones. Can IEMs ever be as good?

    Good points. I have worthy Bluetooth IEMs I use at the gym, and probably would continue to use at the gym. I like portability. I do have a pair of Sony 1000XM2 which I bought for traveling, but I don't like the weight and added bulk. They're OK headphones, but I want something for when I'm...

    IEMs vs Full Size Headphones. Can IEMs ever be as good?

    Wow. You've given me a lot to think about, and research. I'm not familiar with any of those products. What are your thoughts regarding custom IEMs vs. universals. I've budgeted about $1500.00 for headphones, what ever they may be, IEMs or over the ear.

    IEMs vs Full Size Headphones. Can IEMs ever be as good?

    So, if you could only afford to buy one of the two Senheisers that you mentioned to begin your collection would you say it would be the IEMs?

    IEMs vs Full Size Headphones. Can IEMs ever be as good?

    Thanks. That's part of my problem. I don't know if open back headphones will work for me. I'm also planning to purchase a DAP form my primary source of HD audio so I need something that won't be too hard to drive using a DAP.

    IEMs vs Full Size Headphones. Can IEMs ever be as good?

    I'm a neophyte to the world of high res audio so please forgive this question if it appears to be too obvious. I've been an iPod and MP3 listener for years and have decided to jump into the world of audiophile grade equipment. I'm attracted to the portability of IEMs but want to get the...

    Awesome. So, you recommend the MrSpeaker Ether Flow? The open version I imagine. Is that because they have a slightly v-shaped tonal response?

    Thanks for the reply. I listen mostly to progressive rock, jazz, blues, general rock. A mix of things. Not much in the realm of classical.

    I'm a newbie to high end audiophile gear and I'm considering purchasing the SE100 as my first DAP. I also need to upgrade to a pair of good monitors to go along with it. I'm currently using a pair of Sony 100XM2 wireless headphones, which are ok, but I really want to take advantage of the HD...
