Still trying to figure out a way to scroll through albums having them arranged by release year, instead of alphabetically. New A&K software doesn’t allow it, as far as I can tell.

I used free mp3tag software to go through my entire collection, adding Year in brackets before Album Title in the Album meta-data tag. Never again, any player or software, are albums not in order!

Is the release year in the ID3 tag for each album and track? AK players index everything based on the ID3 tags and are pretty rigid with them being tagged correctly. Some of the other Android-based DAPs are a little more forgiving if something is not tagged correctly.

Will there ever be a native Youtube app?
There is content there I can't get in HQ so would be great if it will be one day! Appreciate vlink but it's clunky to use lol
The YouTube app requires Google Play Store and Google Play Services to be installed for authentication purposes, therefore would not work on AK players.

As far as I see, yes, but I’m totally not tripping. I thought maybe I was missing something that was right in front of my face, that’s why I reached out on these forums. I figured out this work-around with manually putting the year in front of album titles and I’m all good, Jason. Loving the Kann Cube and all the previous players from A&K that I’ve owned. Thanks for always checking in here, Jason.

Thank you for your feedback!
yesterday i tried the Xelento and SE100 again - normal and balanced output - no hiss on both, but with balances output the sound was a lot more clean and more separation, greater stage and more transparency

Can anyone please suggest a cheap, hard portable case to store SE100 and a few iems?
I bought a cheap HDD-case on amazon. Fits the SE100 and one pair of IEMs also with case. Or perhaps two pairs without case.

More than a year down the road still loving it. Battery life/micro details are great.. maybe except for the UI which can be improved hugely, I don't see why they cannot make apps appear as icons on the home screen instead of going to services every time (hopefully I'm not wrong here). They pair nicely with Shure's 846 to the point that I forgot about the mojo which I disconnected the battery to and made it a desktop unit. Can't say the price is decent, as a newbie I should have went with a full sized headphone instead of a fabulous player upgrade.

@JasonNYC Hello Jason how are you?

I asked this before months ago and I believe there are many people here who wants to know too.

When are we going to be able to use the Roon app with SE100. Is this going to happen at all or should we just forget about it?

My frustration is not towards you at all. İt just seems really odd that this is taking so long.

Thank you for your time.
