Yes, on the SR25. I have installed your prepared xapk file. Thanks :)
I have also installed your Apple Music Beta file in my Sr25. Thanks again to riclib! I works perfectly with lossless, but with hires there are bugs. Sound stutters at minute 3 of every song and sometimes freezes. I have settled with leaving the settings in lossless where operation is without any problem and sound is already excellent. Hi res files from Apple Music, most 24/96 are played at 24/48 with the lossless setting. I cannot tell the difference.
riclib, does it work well with the se200?

Hey All, I've now made an apkpure of version 1114. You can download at this link.
I also created instructions on how to create it 😀

If you are updating from my previous post, I recommend you install and reboot before you run.

Version 1114 is definitely a fantastic improvement. While downloading songs with the version I posted earlier I couldn't play stream even lossless files. Now with the last 600 files downloading in background a high res 192k stream starts instantly.

Hi @JasonNYC , Is there any update on the firmware update that will allow the SE200 to be used as a DAC with MacBook Pro M1's??
Cheers.
I do not have more info at the moment. I know the software team purchased a few additional M1 Macs to work on the issue. I will ask for an update to share.

Just to confirm, you cannot use the SE200 in USB DAC mode on the M1 Mac, correct? Is the SE200 being recognized by Android File Transfer? I know there was an issue with AFT, but I understand there was a new version recently released that fixes the issue with Android connectivity on M1-based Macs.

Thats correct. The AFT recognises the player initially and then doesn't after a few seconds. I will attempt to re-download the most recent version of the app and see if this resolves the issue.

The issue still persists after re-downloading the app.

Just wanted to confirm the latest Apple Music 3.6.0 (1118) APK works perfectly for me on my SE200 and correctly decodes/streams all lossless & hires formats I've tried. Smooth operation with no hint of stutters. Very, very happy!
