New TOL A&K DAP : the AK Ultima SP1000

Version 5.7.5 works on SR25.

Yes, I believe that the SR25, Kann Alpha and SE200 use an Android 9 variant so no issue with these devices. Anything older than the SR25 (May 2020) is likely impacted, including the SP series.

Updated to latest firmware, embedded Tidal works but not through AK Connect. Still can't log in through it.

SP1000M
It's on the global support page via the link I posted on May 20. The AK Connect app will be updated after the players. We will have more info this month in exact date. Expecting this month.

Upgraded but can’t log in to Tidal: endless loop of log in screen (name + password) and captcha tiles .
Same thing happened to my SP1000. After downloading system version 1.61, I opened the embedded Tidal app and reached the login page. 2 seconds later this error message appeared “An error occurred to login. Please try again later.” After trying this 3x the ca tiles appeared.

It's been almost three months since the SP2000/1000 "Roon Ready" update and still no word on the SP1000M. What's going on?

Yeah, Astell & Kern remain very quiet about Roon on the SP1000M. Yet, the SP1000 has pretty much identical hardware and firmware (apart from storage capacity and screen size) and has received Roon support a while ago.

I really don't see what's the hold up here. Perhaps @JasonNYC can clarify?
Because the player doesn’t cost too much to be prioritized

The SP1000M cost twice as much as the Kann Alpha, which has already announced "Roon Ready" support. Very sad and unhappy customer here... :triportsad:

What's worse is that "Roon Ready" support was announced at the same time as the SP1000M. You would have thought it would be the first device...

If you know the real prices for SP1000M you’d not be surprised…

I'm sure my SP1000M is quickly going down in value every day that A&K doesn't provide updates or support. Wait and hope... 🤷‍♂️

real talk though, I do miss my SP1000M which I had for an year because it's actually portable and doesn't pull down your pants. Hope it gets roon ready soon to take it to the next level.
