No, It is not intuitive at all.
I wish cue files were visible in the other menus as well.
Most likely I use Artist search and it would be great to have it there as well.

Jason, could you please ask such question? Would it be possible to have cue files visible not only in Album menu?
I will pass this suggestion onto our dev team.

Has anyone ever had issues with a digital clicking sound while using SP1000M as USB Dac? Headphone is an DCA Ether 2 which is 22ohm and volume is at 130. I have also heard on my IEM

No longer limited with only using PS3 for the SACD ripping.
A compatible SACD player allows it to be ripped to ISO.

I've successfully backed up my SACDs using my Oppo 103AU. It doesn't take very long to rip. I convert the DSF file to FLAC for my SP1000M and I use the DSF files on my Auralic Aires.

I had 2 questions in this thread.

1. Where can I find the the latest SoundCloud and Spotify APK that will work with this player?
2. I noticed that when I'm using this player as a USB Dac that I have clicking/popping, is this a known issue?

I don't stream and I don't use it as a DAC so can't answer. I'm certain someone else can. I saw a discussion about Spotify a few pages back as well, I think.

As to clicking in general, the device may make a click if it changes from one type of file format to another- say, from FLAC to DSD.

I've not heard about popping anywhere here.

Sound Cloud XAPK - https://apkpure.com/sound-cloud-android/com.soundcloud.android

You need to make sure you have the XAPK Installer installed on your SP1000M first.

If you have not installed the XAPK Installer, download XAPK Installer from this link - https://apkpure.com/xapk-installer/com.apkpure.installer

Copy to OpenService folder. Once it appears in the services menu on player, install the XAPK installer on the player like you would any other APK.

Copy the XAPK of the music service you would like to install to OpenService Folder.

Open XAPK Installer app in the services menu on the player. Choose the XAPK file you would like to install and click install.

Spotify is not available for download in the US or Canada at the moment. We are working on finding an alternative for users in those countries. Some people have been using a VPN to connect to APKPure with their location set as a country in Europe to download without issue.

2. I noticed that when I'm using this player as a USB Dac that I have clicking/popping, is this a known issue?
I use the SP1000M regularly as a UBS DAC for my Windows 10 desktop and do not experience any pops or noise. Can you provide more information on what you are connecting to please? Feel free to PM me if you'd like to discuss off the thread.

Can any one recomend a soft case that can be used for transporting the sp1000+AMP combo. It should have extra space for USB-C cable and a small form factor SSD


I'm using A&K's own Van Nuys 3 split case. It does fit my SP1000+AMP, my LCDi4 and the USB cable. Pretty sure it would fit a small SSD as well.
