Astell & Kern SE100: A&futura Impressions - Reviews
Oct 16, 2018 at 4:37 AM Post #586 of 1,568
Deezer is preloaded onto my SE100, it needs a premium subscription though.

I don't subscribe to streaming services, so I can't say how well it works.

That new “Floating back button” is really ugly and I don’t see any use for it. Luckily you can turn it off but in TIDAL it’s always visible and it covers some buttons. This should be addressed. Also from what I remember Jason stated there will be a possibility to choose where TIDAL offline content will be stored but if I understand it correctly only internal memory is possible?

Personally, I wasn't a fan of the floating back button either when I first saw it, especially as a daily Android smartphone user. Using the new firmware for close to two months already, I will say it definitely comes in handy when navigating the streaming apps. You can turn it off when playing back music on the device. It's grown on me using it for a while.

Offline Tidal content can be stored on internal memory or microSD card when using the Tidal Android app installed via APK. In the settings menu, the second to last setting is Storage. Select it and you can choose internal or external memory to store offline content.

Jason, I don’t see any “Storage” tab in AK setting...

Installed both Spotify and Tidal without issue, thanks Jason for the link as it was very straightforward. One question, is how to exit the applications once you are in them, there does not appear to be an exit option or return to player option? I rebooted the device to return from Spotify, probably just missed it, let me know if you can locate?

Love that you can specify the SD card for storage on both!

As far as I recall, it's just a matter of tapping the icon in the top left of the screen. I don't have WiFi right now, so can't confirm.

I usually hit the home button and then swipe down for the quick settings and swipe left or right to clear the app from the notification bar which closes it.

I downloaded the Roon APK but the SE100 doesn't seem to see it like it does with Tidal. @JasonNYC, anything we should know about installing Roon?
Click to expand...
@digitalzed as per a few of my previous posts, Roon will not be available until end of this year. Target date is sometime in December, but with the holidays that can be pushed back to early January 2019. We are actively working with the Roon engineering team for implementation.

Sorry, Jason. I thought I'd looked at previous posts and sorry I didn't see that info before asking.
