I don’t believe Apple has released an updated app for Android. A&K will be blocked until then. Note: They (Apple) have 3.6.0 out in beta but I don‘t think we should expect A&K to provide an update/support for beta apps.

Correct. Apple has not released the official app to support lossless and hi-res on Android yet.

I can confirm the 3.6.0 beta is working without issue on AK players since the last firmware update and there are a number of people in the other AK threads who have confirmed it working on other players since the update.

Also as of the last firmware update, Apple Music 3.5.0, the latest official version works without issue on all players. There were some problems on a few players, but the firmware update two weeks ago fixed the issues.

The listening were done by AK dev team internally right ? Right now, we'd just have to wait for the 3.6.0 official release ?

Yes

Correct. The Apple Music beta is a closed beta program and by invitation only. While I understand there are copies floating around on the internet, it is not supposed to be shared outside of the approved beta testers.

Why Jasons answer seems incorrect is that you can go back from a dsf file with no sound to a flac file and it plays fine. Then go back to the dsf file and nada. Unplug and plug the 2.5mm connector and it now works.
Balanced icon shows all the time apart from when you unplug.

because I've got today my balanced 2.5/3.5 mm cable and I've also the problems with DSD on the SP2000 but not with the SR25:
Will there come a bugfix for this in the next time?

Hi guys, brand new owner of a SP2000 !
I just installed Qobuz, all went fine but the issue is that I do not have any sound. I even restarted the device but still the same issue.
If I play music from my SD card it's fine. I'm using the latest version 6.0.0.2
Any idea?

 

[GotchaPine007]

Looks like the version that came out today (6.0.0.2) is not yet compatible. I had to download the older version (5.x.x.x)

There were reports of other people having issues with the latest Qobuz app. I have not had a chance to download it to test myself. I will share more info once I have it.

Has anyone tried using optical out connection to external DACs ? I have been doing this with my SP2000 into my DAVE and it tends to generate some nasty and noisy distortions. I have tried various optical cables and they tend to produce the same results...

I just installed 6.0.0.4 on my DX300, and I now have the same issue. Downloaded music plays fine. When streamin, the song is loaded, but nothing happens, it stays at 0:00.

Someone posted in one of the other AK threads that they contacted Qobuz support and received a reply that they are aware of the issue on Android devices and Qobuz will be releasing an update to the app soon to fix the problem.

 

[JasonNYC]

Speaking of apps, our dev team just updated the list with the version numbers of each app that have been tested with individual players and have no issues. You can see the latest list on the Astell&Kern US site here - https://us.astellnkern.com/apps/help-center#hc-what-app-versions-are-supported-by-astellkern-players

The global AK site will add the list in the next few days under the support tab.

This list will be updated as new app versions are released.

Thank you for that, that's very helpful

Thank you. Interestingly Qobuz can be played through UAPP. This is not a solution for AK players though, I believe. Anyway, it'll be fixed soon.
