Do A&K newer DAPs have a composer list (view) like my sony walkman?

No. But you can create folders named after composers and have subfolders within them with the individual works etc.

What is the power amp upgrade we are expecting between SP2000 and its T version in terms of vrms or mw ?

Does anyone know the size of the new SP2000T? it looks a bit bigger than the SP2000.

Hello, I am using Amazon HD music for streaming on my SP2000. A few days ago, I started to get an error message: "Content Not Found .... You may not be eligible to access this content." I have a paid subscription to the HD service so I don't know what is going on. Has anybody else had trouble with the streaming on Amazon on their SP2000. I love my player, but it is kind of complicated when you want to install music streaming apps. Maybe I should delete the app and re-install it, but I don't know how to do it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Slightly taller than SE180.

I am dumb, which one is which?

Is there any internal pictures released yet ?

When looking at the pic. SE180 is on the left, SP2000T is on the right.

Looks slick, looking forward to impressions.

Knowing A&K, all measurements for the new 2000T will be marked as such:

* condition: No Load

I have a feeling the current Sp2000 will remain a side step to the T. Not an upgrade but a different taste.

Yes, and we all know that P = V^2/R...

For sure. I can't really imagine them improving on the SP2k sonically from a portable device unless they switched up its core house-sound. The T should offer a warmer, more analogue presentation to compliment SP2K nicely.

I personally think this is a better move since I am craving a DAP that is almost as technical but with a bit more of a colored/warmer presentation so I can pick and choose depending on my mood. Unfortunately, from what I've noticed in general, warmth/analogue does tend to come at a small sacrifice to technicalities, mainly in staging and microdetail...so let's just hope those ESS DACs don't sacrifice too much in this case .

Hey, you and me both, and in this release, I hope it is going to be what I am looking for!! I feel that the sp2k was very technical in sound and coming off AKM Chips, that is something. So when AK toss in a tube and even be using ESS, I don’t think there would be much of a change in the level of sound signatures, but at least the tubes should have that transients/timbres/warmth as intended , which is again, confirmed by the earlier impressions. He didn’t even thought that it was using Nutubes

@JasonNYC : Hi Jason, any news on the embedded Deezer app? It’s not working from months now. I know that I can use the side loaded app but in this case better remove it completely from the firmware if there is no plan to correct it.
Thanks

@JasonNYC : Hi Jason, sorry to insist but I never got any answer on this.
The embedded Deezer app is not working since at least December 2020 (just not possible to log in).
What's A&K plan here please? Are you still planning to fix the problem? Or more probably after 9 months the issue will never be addressed; so are you planning to remove the app to free some space so we can add a few songs at least ?
Thanks.
