Astell&Kern A&futura SE200: First DAP With Multiple DACs - Head-Fi TV
Jul 6, 2021 at 3:51 PM Post #946 of 1,165
The latest firmware update, v1.22 fixes the issue with Apple Music 3.5.0 running on the SE200. There should also be no issues with Apple Music 3.6.0, which supports lossless when it is eventually released.
Just installed apple music 3.6.0 beta and it's running perfectly On my SE200. Best device for apple music.

On my Hiby R8 I can see that Apple Music sample rate switches, as the rate shown on the taskbar matches the rate on the "taskbar" matches the rate on the song.
Do you know if the sample rate switching is working on the SE200? I can see the led turning blue for highres songs, so at least I know it's playing at 32 bit, while for lossless only is stays red. Is there a way to know the sample rate on the DAC?

Please tell, which version of beta did you install? Which source?
It was a pain. I got it from apkmirror and than I had to unzip, shuffle files around and rezip to make into an apkpure to install. Which ofcourse I didn't document. 😀 version is 1111 I believe.

It has been discussed in numerous posts in this thread, but the LED does not display the bit rate color for any music played via apps sideloaded. The LED color will only display the correct colors for bit-rate when playing tracks using the default music player and embedded Tidal app as those are hard coded into the firmware. All apps installed via OpenAPP do bypass the Android limitations and play at bit-perfect playback of the original file rate.

If I remember well steps were:
1) download apple music 3.5 from apk pure
2) download apple music 3.6 from apkmirror
3) I extracted them and compared the folders
4) I replaced the files in the apkpure by the respective files in apkmirro, keeping the directory structure
5) I remember editing the apkpure manifest file, probably a json, with the details from a similar file in the apkmirror
6) Rezip
7) Pray 🙏
8) transfer to se200

Enjoy!
