@JasonNYC

Announcement will likely be when there is a new firmware released for sp1000m, like the Kann Alpha.

It's been two weeks since it was announced by Roonlabs. I was hoping for confirmation and more information on when it would be available.

Anyone know when tidal will be fixed? Its just crashes my sp1k currently when u try and open

Have used both Tidal and Qobuz with my SP1000. Until recently both would happily download files to their local caches. But with the firmware upgrade this last month, this has become very erratic – despite the apps continuing to stream music just fine. It turns out that the SP1000 was reporting “no internet connection” – despite linking with the access points and streaming just fine. What.

I have a rather sophisticated network infrastructure which helped sleuth the issue. It seems likely that the SP1000 tests the internet connection by “pinging” a server in Taiwan. The route from here in Oz to there travels through Hong Kong. China is a massive source of malicious internet activity – my network gets probed on a daily basis. My network infrastructure blocks those probes – and, as the A&K traffic goes through Hong Kong, also the “ping” response that I suspect tells the SP1000 in is online. The firmware I have to guess then tells the Tidal/Qobuz app that it’s not online – at least for some aspect of downloading – and the downloads stall.

The work around is to set the network content firewall to allow the bypass the China geographic blocks while leaving all the malicious attack prevention in place. Then all back to normal. But it would be nice if the Firmware had not changed what was working fine. Obviously, this is all surmise; but it’s clear that with some China traffic blocked, the SP1000 doesn’t think it has an internet connection – and when the block is removed it is happy….

To be clear, this is very much an edge case – at least for now. I really can’t imagine that any Aussie customers are going to have a problem – but I can imagine at a global level there will be some who might and are not sure why things are now not working as before.

Hope this helps someone...

thanks for explaining in detail.

What version of Spotify are you using?

I apologize for the delay in the SP1000M update.

Yes, the SP1000M is now Roon Ready certified and will be getting a firmware update to officially enable Roon Ready support. The dev team needs to make a change to the firmware before it is released. The estimated release date is about two weeks as the firmware change needs to be made, QA testing done on the final firmware and then uploaded to the OTA servers. That timeframe may change based on QA testing, but expecting August for Roon on SP1000M. If that timeframe should change, I will update.

Has anyone else had their SP1000M battery die? Purchased March 2000, light use, mainly as a car audio source. Out of warranty............

I've had rechargeable batteries die in products before but the mobile phone industry seems to have got it right mostly, so it is possible, and there must be hundreds of millions of them in use. Plus my eReader and golf rangefinder work great.

My is almost dead and swallowed.

My SP1K keeps suddenly rebooting after the new firmware update and I can’t seem to find a way to roll back the firmware.
Does anyone know a way to fix it?

@JasonNYC who should I contact?

 

[Sam Spade]

My is almost dead and swallowed.

So while the AK SP1000M battery has died after 16 months of light use my AK70 is still going amazingly well after 4 years
