Astell & Kern SE100: A&futura Impressions - Reviews
Mar 31, 2019 at 11:01 PM Post #1,096 of 1,568
when browsing through folders, there are times where it won't show my memory card, won't play songs, won't show the correct title (sometimes it would say unknown file rather than a name), and the only remedy so far is to turn off, then on again.

there are also times where it would open and exit through folders quickly, and other times there is a long delay. other times it just won't load, and would show a blank screen after I hit "folders"

the card was formatted in the device at first, file transfers are done through USB-c, factory reset didnt change anything

is there anything else I can do? reinstall the firmware maybe? idk how to do it

thanks

EDIT: sorry for the double post in sp1000 thread as well. just hoping for some help soon

did you try a manual media scan? It sounds like the database didn't build correctly. Could possibly be a corrupt file on the microSD card. Try the manual scan first - Settings ->System Reset -> Initialize media scan. If you have playlists set up, make sure clear playlists box is unchecked. It can take up to 15 minutes to fully scan and index all files in internal memory and on the card.

Thanks for the reply! Yes I have initialized a scan before i did the factory reset, and it's still the same.

I am not using playlists, i am playing mainly through folders where i group my music into their own folder ( i do this because i rotate the sd card between another DAP, where i cannot migrate playlists)

Right now I am transferring my music so i can reformat the card. is there any way i can scan all my mp3 and flac for any corrupt files?

thanks

Try using MP3 Tag or something similar and check what windows explorer reports as the codec vs what Mp3Tag does.

I had some 320 kbps MP3 rips where codec information did not show up in Mp3Tag despite Windows Explorer reporting it as MPeg Layer III.

My SE100 when playing on bluetooth today, suddenly turned itself off. I long pressed (>7secs) the power button as the manual suggested, but the device won't turn back on again. Does anyone have similar experiences or should I just ship it back for warranty repair?

Recently acquired a SE100 to complement my SR15, enjoying the more technically capable and finessed presentation but kinda missing the fuller mids on the SR15 as well. Still the SR15 will likely go up for sale.

Hi JasonNYC,
are there any plans to support Apple Music? Could you add German QWERTZ as new Keyboard Language? And one thing about Qobuz, I know someone mentioned it already. The white Letters in the Search field are really annyoing hope you guys can fix this fast.

No plans at this time. Apple Music requires a valid Google Play Store install and Google Play Services for authentication purposes. Since AK players do not have Google Play Store, apps that require this, such as Apple Music, YouTube Music, Google Pay Music will not work. If Apple Music removes this requirement, which most other streaming services do not have, we will support it.

Could you add German QWERTZ as new Keyboard Language?

I will pass this request onto our dev team. I cannot guarantee it will be added.

The white Letters in the Search field are really annyoing hope you guys can fix this fast.

Already being worked on for a future update. I do not have an ETA, but it has been discussed at length with our dev team and Qobuz.

going to get a new item first, the Anole VX, then as for dap I plan to get a bang for buck chifi one (probably Zishan DSD Pro) and then a TOTL (still can't decide between sp1000, wm1z, and n8)

do you have any suggestions? maybe I didnt so enough research :)))

I'm not a fan of Cayin after trying N6, it did not compare favourably to other daps I had in the same price range. I have tried Zishan DSD, it is just ok, I would not bother with the Pro. I've had many Chinese daps from ibasso, fiio, cayin, and I feel they are a step behind the top Japanese and Korean daps. l would definitely look at the WM1Z and SP1000.

Thank you i needed to read that.

Any suggestions then as to why i'd pick either sp1000 or WM1Z?
How about a Mid-fi dap? just one that can hold up for now that's a decent bang for buck
Kinda interested in either the Fiio M6 or M11
