I've found the problem, and work around advice. I download the custom mixes, for when I don't have WiFi. After Tidal updates your 8 mixes, when you select a mix your device downloads the new tracks. If you play the mix while still downloading you will get stuttering followed by a crash. Just...

I've been suffering from a really annoying bug with my SE300 and SR25 and thought I'd share my discovery. It's when using the downloaded version of Tidal, I got stuttering and then Tidal crashing. I just couldn't work it out, now I have. I really like the Tidal Custom Mixes, My Mix 1-8. So I...

If stuck you could always create a playlist for that album, download it, you can see the playtime. I'm currently using the SE300 but I'm pretty sure my SR25 does the same.

I ended up using the Spinfit W1 tips. The lows are the same, the mids get more air and the highs clearer. They also increase the soundstage, its a different experience overall. I definitely didn't listen properly first time. Oh, and they are stickier in the ear so they don't move at all. I...

I've had the AK zero2 for 6 days now, I thought I'd share my initial thoughts. The packaging is really good, high quality as you'd expect. The 2 cables are high quality (3.5mm & 4.4mm), microphonics aren't an issue. I'm using the 4.4mm, into A&K SE300. The SE300 is a warm sounding DAP but as...

It's version 2.98.2, I have had the issue for this and the last update. I had wondered if it was wifi related, even for downloaded tracks. I can reproduce almost at will, just by playing Pink Floyd. The track will be stuttering but the displayed track is different, it's a track previously...

Relevant (ish), are you aware of any stuttering issues when using Tidal? The download version. I'm also getting the exact same issue with my SE300. Tracks stuttering randomly then Tidal crashes. I can play the exact same tracklist via Qobuz with no problems at all. I prefer Tidal so it's...

I have the FH7S, I also used spinfits with them. But ultimately the HS18s were better. I think you'd need great hearing to detect a sound difference, but the HS18 is just more comfortable. Simple as that really.

I have a question someone can hopefully help with: Have you tried Tidal and Qobuz on your SE300? If so did you think there's more bass from Qobuz? Is this typical, possibly due to file formats? Am I imagining it! I've now got 2 subscriptions, which is OK I guess, but not ideal. Cheers.

I only use Tidal offline. With the SR25 mkii I have to wait until everything has loaded before being able to play a track. The SE300 doesn't suffer that issue, it's available almost immediately, less than a second pause after starting Tidal. Compared to the 30 seconds I am used to its fantastic...

I've had my SE300 for 6 weeks, I'm still smiling when I turn it on. I can say it has exceeded my expectations, the sound is just so good. The worry I had was the UI but that has proven to be a non issue. I also have an SR25 MKII which does have a slow UI, It's nothing like that. I have...

The SR25 mkii is a great DAP. Its performance really does justify the price, so if you can get a deal you should definitely go for it. I also have the SE300, which I don't carry around outside. Too big and too valuable! My point is the SR25 mkii isn't a huge step down. I had expected to retire...

I'm trialling an alternative solution, I've bought a decent power bank which (from the data I've been able to find) has a rather decent trickle charge. It's description of being designed for sensitive IEMs caught my attention. I've had it for a week and have used only this to charge the LiPo...

Just a thought: Lithium batteries can suffer from swelling which obviously isn't good. I've always followed a practice of not fully charging a Lithium battery as its my belief that over charging is the root cause. My background is in engineering, specially DC power systems with a heavy...

I feel a huge sense of relief, I'm thinking clearly (today). I really do enjoy what I currently have and it's curiosity/money burning my pocket driving this. I have an illness that means I stay where I am, so testing isn't really an option. I absolutely appreciate that buying blind is too great...

That's sensible advice, thank you. So now I'm thinking £1,000 on IEMs, which i'm now going to research like mad. I use IEMs more than headphones. Would it be crazy to consider the Astell&Kern Zero 2? I really can't waste my money and I've been very impressed by the quality of my DAP. So it...

I've saved and saved and now I'm going to upgrade, I really need advice because I won't be able to do this again for a long time. I've saved £2,000 which was a real struggle! I have Astell&Kern Sr25, Hifiman Edition XS (for home) and Moondrop variations for going out. What would you suggest I...

I'm going for it, 14 days from today I'm getting the SE300. I'll have to save again to get the Organic. I twitched and got Moondrop Variations which set me back, but as I'm really enjoying this IEM it's OK.

The Sundara was my entry into the audiophile world, I still think they are amazing value and performance for the price. I then got an Ifi zen can signature v2, my AK SR25 mkii just didn't give the volume. That was a moment to remember, it really unlocked the Sundara. I also added the Ifi zen...

I've had my FH7S for about 6 months now and I'm quite impressed with them. The filter choice is pretty crucial IMHO, I picked the trebles until a couple of months ago...balanced is my ultimate recommendation. The tips have a big impact, I'd almost say I was shocked as to how much. But going...

I had the same dilemma and just couldn't decide. I eventually waited and saved as much money as I could. So I'm going for SE300 at the end of this month. My main reasoning is the increased performance, sonically and UI. It's taken nearly a year to get here, but the anticipation alone has been...

I feel love, Donna Summer...it's my test for soundstage and separation. When you can hear the music moving around your head it's really something special. Blue Monday, New Order. To hear it all takes great kit. Its a track that's easy to identify 'deficiencies' with and rewards technically...

Hi all, New member and new to this world, enjoying the heck out of it though! I wish I'd done this years ago! Cheers!
