@rwelles Just confirmed with our software team that this is a bug in the current firmware. It will be fixed in the new firmware for the SP1000M released this week.

Anybody knows the burn in time recommended for this DAP?
What are the changes that i should wait after the burn in period?
Anyway it’s sound great out of the box
It definitely benefits from burn-in. I think mine showed the most improvement in the first 50-80 hours.
The biggest benefit I noticed was the mids. They were too thin initially, and then got thicker over time. I’m confident I wasn’t imagining this, as I was comparing it to an AK120II as a reference, throughout the burn in process.

Congrats on your new purchase. People believe that sp1000 needs 100+ hour run-in, though there seems no officially recommended long burn-in time. Actually hardwares may not need a long-time run in. Even for speakers, B&W mentioned in their manuals that speakers may need 10+ hours to achieve the desired performance, and any perceived difference after that could be the listeners' subjective perception due to getting adapted to the sound signature of the product. So, just listen and enjoy.

Hi, Guys. Do you often leave your sp1000 plugged after fully charged? Not sure if this will harm the battery. Any suggestions? Thanks!

New firmware update will be released tomorrow afternoon, December 12th Korea time that will add MQA to the SP1000M. 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

Will there be a bug-fix-update for spk as well soon?
Yes, I believe so. I got a list of the changelog and bug fixes for the new firmware updates for all the players and the SP1000 was listed as one of the players for a few of the fixes. I don't know if it is coming at the same time as the SP1000M or will be delayed a few days. Waiting for confirmation on the SP1000.

Updates for SP1000M are available right now, anyway.
SP1000 Update available as well.
Just FYI ... I am not able to run updates whilst using my standard DNS from ADGUARD. For the purpose of updating this device I need to switch to another DNS, google in my case.

Hi Guys,
How do we know the SP1K is playing MQA? Any indication? Also any recommended MQA files on Tidal. Thank you.
