Spotify, Tidal, and Deezer are not supported?

Spotify and Tidal are currently supported. The Deezer APK is currently not supported.

I didn't see Spotify on the screenshot you posted above and I believe the Tidal APK you had in there is not the correct APK for Tidal (there were two on APKPure).

None of the other apps in the screenshot are supported - YouTube, Spectrum, Netflix, etc. No video apps are supported.

These are the apps currently supported for North America. Other apps are supported in other countries:

Amazon Music, Spotify, Tidal, SoundCloud, Pandora, Qobuz, Sirius XM, TuneIn.

So I just bought a SE100. Man, this hobby and my wallet..

@JasonNYC Do you guys have plans for a matching dock for the new line of DAPs yet?

Hi fellow SE100 owners:
I am hoping to connect my SE100 to a two channel desktop amp (MD x THX 789) via 2.5mm balanced line-out. First I thought all I need is a 2.5 mm male to dual XLR-3 cable. Something like this:

But then I read an article from Moon Audio suggesting that :"The grounding scheme of portable players have virtual grounds since they can't be tied to an earth ground. When you connect a DAP to a 2 channel stereo system with a true earth ground, some problems can occur...Just doing a 2.5mm TRRS connector to XLRs can often result in a hum issue."

Basically they say in order to avoid such humming issue, a A&K PEE11 balanced adapter is needed.

Has any one used SE100 balanced out to a desktop amp?
Maybe @JasonNYC?
Any comment is greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!!!

Slowly getting used to the SE100, after the AK70 MkII. It really is an impressive beast, although as I feared it's exposing the fact that I now need to upgrade my IEMs...

Unknown to me, our development team changed the way playlists are handled with the latest firmware.

Due to the way some streaming music apps handle playlists built into the app, they needed to change playlist properties on the player. Previously, you could create a playlist and save it in any folder. Starting with firmware 1.10, you can only save playlists in the playlist folder in internal memory.

Here is the official info from our development team:


Notice: Playlist file operation method change.

Affects AK users who use SP1000(M), SE100 and SR15 and Open App firmware.

There was change of Playlist file (*.m3u) operation method when using the new F/W which supports openAPK.

Before F/W update, Playlist files (*.m3u) can be recognized when saved in any folder.

After the v1.10 update, Playlist files can be only recognized when they are located in the “Playlist" folder in the root folder.

This change is because :
- when using the Open App service, some application creates playlist file(*.m3u) themselves.
- In this case, AK system recognize this *.m3u file created by an app as an AK original Playlist.
- Such Playlists cannot be played by the AK player and it can cause confusion with originally created playlists.
- To prevent this issue, we changed the operation method of playlist files so that only playlists in the “Playlist” folder can be recognized.

Thank you.

When I attempt to copy my playlists to the "Playlist" folder, all the content is stripped. The result is a 0 byte file.

Since loading the latest firmware, I'm getting the occasional stutter in playback (onboard music files, not streaming). I don't get it a lot, but it's pretty annoying.

Is anyone else getting this, or is it just me?

Sorry, posted in wrong thread. My unit is an SR15.

New firmware update will be released tomorrow afternoon, December 12th Korea time that will add MQA to the SE100. There will also be a number of bug fixes and OS optimizations in the new firmware. North American owners should see the firmware available late night tonight, December 11th. https://us.astellnkern.com/blogs/ne...test-line-of-high-resolution-portable-players

This issue should be fixed in the new firmware being released tomorrow.

I'm starting to find that the SE100 is really exposing poor quality recordings... but conversely if they're good, they sound absolutely stunning.

The sound is a little bit light on the bass... so wondering if a change from Shure SE535 to SE846 will address that? - Anyone got any thoughts on that? (I like the Shure sound, having had the 425s previously)

@egglizhen I apologize, I missed this the other day.

Yes, we recommend if you are connecting via balanced to a 2-channel system to use the 2.5mm for balanced out and the 3.5mm as a ground to reduce hum. We did sell the PEE11 shown above, but currently are not selling it. We will probably bring out a new version of that cable in 2019.

If you are making your own cable, or having one made, here is the wiring:

Hey @JasonNYC,
I appreciate the feedback. Before the new PEE11 hit the market, I probably will get one of this: https://www.dysonaudio.com/products/dyson-audio-gotham-2-5mm-trrs-dual-xlr-balanced-dap-output-cable
They use 3.5 mm as ground.

Thanks again!
