Both are stainless steel bodies. The black is just stainless steel with black PVD coating. Same body material for all SA700s.
This is what I thought....

Are you doubting my words ?
Or just trolling ?
I tried a demo, I appreciate the sound tuning. First firmware.
So, I bought one (second hand with last firmware) few monthes after, and listen to it with the same iems.
This was a different sounding.
That’s what I said, and I’ll continue to say this.
Maybe a Firmware burn in changed the sound, if any can believe in firmware burn in, but not a brain burn in.
Anyway, I sold it.
It’s not anymore the sound I am looking for.
Try to read the SP2K thread, you may smile again and again.
Regarding burn in, AK does recommend burn in time with our players.
Technically sound can changed by software, no matter what materialThis is what I thought....

Im talking about sound diff between black and ssAK have already said that they don’t change the sound via firmware upgrades.

They are both made from the same material....
Finish matters to sound, in my opinion. I felt the sound of SS and black different in the shop.
And felt that difference reasonable and natural since raw finish one (SS) having raw (clearer) sound compared to blackened one (softer/darker).
Yes, this is what I felt and other people might feel different (= same sound) but at least couple of people on the web feels them sounding different.
And another example: IEM, final audio design Heaven V and Heaven V Aging is both made of brass but V Aging version has no finish and V version has black finish.
And they sound very different. (but the change direction by finish is not same to that of SA700 though, probably due to material/finish difference)
This is ridiculous is my opinion. All of the components on the internals of the player are in contact with the same materials.... Burn in sound changes I can agree with, but this is just your mind playing tricks on you.
For burn in, how do you do?
Do you burn in the SE and the symetric output?
