This SE180 is in excellent condition and has never had its original screen protector on the front nor back sticker removed; it is brand new underneath. The DAP has lived in its leather case for all of its light use so its body is untouched. This bundle includes the SE180 with SEM1 valued at...

Hello! If anyone is interested I am selling my SE180 with SEM1 and SEM2 modules, plus the black leather case for $1449 over on eBay. It's in excellent condition and am happy to answer any questions. Here is the link for anyone that is in the market for one...

Have you reviewed it yet?

The SE180 replicates your exact issue with the Kann Alpha; it disconnects from WiFi while streaming in between tracks, claiming it lost connection. You hit the X and it goes away. Sounds like all of Astell and Kern's products suffer from poor software... crazy how they get away with that. I...

Happens in mine too. That's just how they did it, another "quirk" it has...

I second this. It is due by the end of the year so release information should be expected soon

I've never had any of those issues. I'm sorry to hear you were dealing with that. I hope you can find another DAP that is stress-free!

Any chance the toggle optional navigation bar feature may be included in the update?

On the SE180 I can choose between low and high gain; maybe the SE200 cannot because it is older? I remember the adjustable gain being advertised for the SE180 so maybe it is a new feature in the SE line.

He literally just became a Headphonus Supremeus from his last message. I was going to butt in about gain settings in your defense but was enjoying the responses too much.

Hmm possibly; I use JH Audio Jolene. Excellent detail and instrument separation, but overall tone is harsh in the treble. Do you know how I could counterbalance this with EQ?

@JasonNYC Hey Jason! Is there any chance you could give any information at all about the upcoming SEM3 module such as the DAC maker or what quarter it is aimed to be released in? Also, I noticed that treble on both released modules has a bit of harshness when compared to the SR25. The SR25...

Thanks so much! Those things would be amazing! I'm sure others would agree.

@JasonNYC Hey! Just wanted to poke you in case I got lost in your feed.

@JasonNYC Hey Jason! Is there any chance you could pass on the request to make the navigation bar an optional feature in the next firmware update? Also, another question I had: is there a possibility that a similar recording module to the AK300 line's AK recorder module for vinyl to DSD rips...

Have you tried the SEM2 module for the SE180? How do you think it compared to the AKM side of the SE200?

@Vitaly2017 @mashuto Thank you Vitaly for breaking that down for me! Seems like it's a no-brainer to see if a simple shaving of the ear canals will solve my problems. Thanks for noting the difference between a retouch and a refit, a retouch is a hell of a lot easier than getting all-new...

What would you guys recommend me to do in this situation?

Hey guys! After spending the night with my Jolene's, it would appear as though my original fear has made itself a reality. From initial insertion of them, I felt a sharp pain inside both canals right at the first bend of my ear canals, where the tips are poking. For those who hadn't read my...

My Jolene’s are waiting for me after work!!! I'll upload pics as promised and my impressions down the line.

Well THAT'S a huge relief! I'll have to look into their policies on that but I'm happy I'll have plenty of time to consider it. Is the turnaround time for refits about the same as the initial turnaround, or is it sped up a bit? And speaking of that PPH cable, do you know if they will ever...

It seems they don't have the 7-pin option yet, bummer! Super interesting stuff.

I really hope you're right! My concern is that it could have pulled my ear in just enough to make it feel a little loose when I wear then without a mask; hopefully my perfectionist attitude is getting the best of me and it will be fine. I know I should trust my audiologist who is top tier at JH...

Turns out my Jolene's got finished but didn't pass QC. The boys are working overtime to crank it out by Monday though! Apparently they had to start from scratch so I'm surprised they are saying it'll be ready to ship on Monday if it passes QC; I hope the reason it didn't pass is because of any...

Not yet but it's in the works
