Holy crap! This is better than CanJamMm...burning in my SP2K cu, erlkonig and Stellia.....listening to elevator music on the HE1. Busy weekend for me on my messy listening station.
Mm...version 2.14.0 . I ll install previous version to see if it is more stable.
Tidal just released version 2.15.1 a few days ago. That is the latest version.
I've had to do the same with the new Amazon music app, Qobuz has only hung up once and a power cycle fixed
Make that twice! Cycles through tracks until it plays one. It's been playing these fine during the week.
Mm...will be traveling to HK next month, will bring my SP2K cu and Stellia.....seeking the Denon D 9000 (in my to audition list for awhile now) to see which closed back headphone pairs better. I am predisposed to loving the Stellia (having owned and love its close sibling, the Utopia since 2016).

Someone asked about HD 820 and SP2K cu pairing. Have the 820 paired with the Nordost Heimdall 2 cable. Problem is I don't think Nordost manufactures the 2.5 mm short adaptor to the H2. Only have XLR, 3.5 and 4.4 mm but we ll see how it goes with SE.

I've been playing with my new SP-2000 for 3 days now and I must say I am blown away by the sonics. I will put my observations up here soon but I have a question for Asian and European customers who have had it longer. How do you find the battery life? I haven't let it go down that far yet but it seems like the battery level depletes very quickly. I upgraded from the SE-100 and it's going down way faster than that. I don't see how this is possibly going to get 8 hours
I’m not expert but I’m sure the SP2K will impress, especially as its your first dap and you’re not trying to compare it with anything else. I find iems are a very personal thing though and unless you have tried these before, you might not be impressed. I haven’t auditioned a huge number of iems, but of the handfull I’ve tried I quickly found there were a few I really didn’t like, whether it be the sound (too high pitched or not enough bass etc) or the way they feel in the ear. I hope you find them great though, maybe you can exchange if not. At that cost, I would hope the dealer wants you to be happy with your purchase. Good luck! Let us know what you think once you get them.

Still waiting for my SP2K CU to show up.

mmm...I miss my Cowon D2 + and plain jane earbuds. Served me long and well back in my pre-headfi.org days. Simpler is better? Now, it feels like a chore chasing unicorns....not to mention the wallet burning expense/investment....but headphones helps me keep my sanity. Music is life.

Mm...battery life has never been a strong suite for AK players. Sony does it much better (my WM1A lasts multiple, long listening sessions). From my previous experience with the 240, 380 and 380 cu and cu amp, I always keep a modestly sized battery bank handy for when I need to listen to my AKs on long flights. No biggie.

Interesting I felt the same about battery life. Seemed less than the SP1000 at around 6 hours.
But then after a few days battery would not recharge at all and machine died.
Just bad luck I guess and my dealer has been great and arranged replacement to arrive direct to my house Monday.
Mm...haven’t done a battery test yet on the SP2K cu. Will do one as follows:
Fully charged SP2K cu
Flac in local storage
Erlkonig
Will post result.

I left it playing this morning warming up. 10:30 till about 18:00 so 7.5 hours playing FLAC at 80 volume. Screen was probably only on 3 or 4 times though
