You don't need a 2.5mm + 3.5 mm cable to connect to the RCA input of your Amp. Just a common 3.5 mm male to RCA cable is good.
RCA input is single ended so there is no need to use the 2.5mm balanced out from SE100.

Good to hear you are not having further issues. I'm pretty sure that is the problem. I have been the one who primarily did the testing with the SiriusXM app and the new system before we released the firmware since I am familiar with the Android version of the app and have an account. I always close it out by swiping it out of the notification bar and haven't had any issues. I will try and recreate the issues you were having the weekend to confirm that is the problem.
Hi Jason. I'd like to follow-up on this issue. I started out my listening day with my SiriusXM service and after being annoyed by it cutting out (again probably not due to the device but network traffic) I switched back to the library on the device. I tried following your tip, dragging from the top and swiping close the service but no matter how hard I tried to swipe it wouldn't disappear. Left or right. It remained in the drop down as if it were still running. Ignoring it resulted in the original problem I presented of songs stopping in mid track. Any idea what that is about. I am running the latest firmware version.

Love this player. I think the sound on dx200 with amp 8 may be better but the UI on this batters all other players. It's my evening wind down player
I don’t know if you have a dx200/amp8 combination, but to me the se100 kills it. I admit I was annoyed by having to run 3rd party fw on the dx200, but did it because it was a pretty powerful good sounding dap. Imo the se100 kills it in transparency, detail, and musicality. Not to mention the fw updates are easy to install and practically apple-like! I listed my dx the day I got my se.

Happens to me every once in a while with the Sirius XM app also. You can force close the app (or any other app) by going to services and next to the app pressing the info icon (the "I" with the circle around it) and selecting Force Stop.

Excellent. I will try that next time. Certainly faster than rebooting. Thanks for your help and speedy reply.

I've now been using the SE100 for a week and enjoy it a lot with the Solaris. One thing which is definitely missing for the SE / Ultima series is a dock for desktop use. You simply have to put such a unique design to show.

My previous question for a dock has been left unanswered by Jason, so I'm reaching out to you guys - has anyone found an alternative?

@reiserFS I apologize, I missed your question. There has been some internal talk about docks, but nothing in the immediate future as far as I know. Should have a better idea around the beginning of January.
