I’ve experienced some strange battery indicator behavior after the new FW upgrade. It jumps up and down like crazy. I’ve just listened about an hour and it went up from 12% to 13%. And that’s not the first time after FW update.

I just heard this morning there is a bug with the battery indicator on the SP1000. It looks like the same issue on the SE100. I was told our team is testing a firmware fix for the SP1000. I reached out to them to let them know people are having issues with the SE100 also.

I can get one of these on a 0% finance deal paying over 12 months. It’s a lot of money but I’m tired of buying lots of cheaper ones. Is this one worth the money or should I get the Norma.? I’ve never had an Astell and Kern but I do have an dx200 with amp 8.

Yes, I’d recommend one. I spent years using DAPs that weren’t as expensive as this and being frustrated at laggy and badly implemented UI, no upgrades, etc. I figured that spending extra for this would save money in the long run. After a few months ownership, I’m glad I’ve done this - I can’t think of many ways the SE100 can be improved, I just love it.

Is that financing deal through the official A&K website, I thought I saw them offering Affirm financing once?

Or do what I did. I cancelled my order for the se100 and instead got the, flagship Opus#2 for $999.00 + $9.00 shipping that's a savings of $700.
The reviews are stellar, wide sound stage and tidal and just about any service you can think of offline, as of 10-20-2017.
I've also herard of many owners of the Opus#2 putting much larger micro sd cards 500g.

I would recommend looking at the reviews and Utube videos.
