Does anyone have issue that if Bluetooth is on the SR15 won't sleep?

I've had that happen is BT is on and connected, but only if it's connected.

Mine is doing it connected or not.
There are a few random reports of this happening to some people, but not all. I think there is a fix in the upcoming firmware update which will be released around March 31st. There are also a number of playlist fixes included, along with some new features.

Just picked up a second hand SR15 and pairing with some Diana's that I got on a good deal. Very impressed so far. My previous was a Sony NWZ-A17 with Fidelio S2, about 5 or 6 years old, which have been great but this is a big leap in sound and functionality.

One comment is it would be perfect if plexamp were able to be installed, not sure if there is any chance.

One question is if anyone tried the SR15 balanced into Bayer T1 gen 2? Debating if worth buying a cable. I can use the SR15 into the Bayer Impacto amp/dac but would be nice to maybe do away with that. The Impacto doesn't get everything out of them (use my integrated amp for that) but drives them pretty well despite being tiny (whereas SR15 single ended is very thin).

Cheers!

It depends on what You listen Your T1's normally, I've tried them balanced out of SE100 that has little more Power than SR15 and It was not that good for me because I've driven them normally out of a Burson Soloist so it seems not that powerful to me. Volume easy listening was at 110/150.

Anyone else have problems with tidal? First I got "track is not valid" error. After I restarted sr15 it said invalid token or something like that. I logged out and I can't log back in anymore. " Authentication failed, unknown error". Tidal works fine on my phone and pc.

We are aware of the issue and are working with Tidal regarding the issue. I will share more info once I have an update.

So with the built-in Tidal not working, today I installed the apk version and noted a few issues. I cannot install any version of Tidal later than 2.31. After some research, I figured out that 2.31 is the last version that supported Android 5 (API 21). All later versions require Android 6 (API 23). For some reason I had thought that the SR15 was Android 6 based.

Also, I had to use Facebook login rather than the direct Tidal userid/password. The app would not accept a userid/email and would never prompt for a password.

@JasonNYC - Is this a real limitation or am I doing something wrong?

Anyone else having similar issues?
