Don’t worry, TIDAL offline is already supported for some time. You just need to sideload TIDAL apk

Did the battery settle down for you all after a while? My first charge out of the box netted me ~13%/hour battery usage. On my second charge now, it's now about ~4%/hour.

Oh i see thanks. I thought tidal offline is supported by the embedded tidal app already. But the sideloaded tidal apk cant support MQA right?

Doing some listening at work, probably gonna hit 10%/hour now. Very odd with this variation since all my files are lossy mp3s @ 320.kbps.

It really saddens me to say that but I’m really starting not to like my Futura as the gapless function doesn’t work properly. Gapless is a absolute must for me as I have many albums which are made as one consecutive song and the non functional gapless completely destroys my listening experience. It’s really unpredictable, sometimes it works but many times, with the same songs, there is a clear silent gap or audible crack. This drives me mad.


I’ve pointed out that issue several times here but with no response from AK. Please AK, do some testing and fix this extremely annoying issue. Don’t make me sell my Futura. Gapless did work 100% flawlessly with my previous AK300 and honestly, having issue such as this was the last thing I expected when buying Futura

@JasonNYC Hello Jason. I am a new owner and I am very happy with the product. I was wondering if Astell Kern is still working with Roon for a possible integration.

Thank you and have a great day!

We were targeting the end of December, but with the holidays assumed it would get pushed a bit. Last update I had before the holidays was that it was close. Our dev team had to make a change that the Roon team requested, then it needed to go back to Roon for testing which can take a few weeks. I should hopefully have an update this week.​
