Astell&KernA&futura - SE180 (Music Player, Moon Silver)

This thing is heavy and sound good ( I had changed to DAC 4) but if you use it for cars, it seems usb connection will not stay connected. You have to unplug and plug again. I try many cables and still do that. Bluetooth…. You can not get the playlist. It’s need Software upgrade.

My earlier purchase of the SE180 player sold by AV direct was unusable, the power button to start and stop did not work. the battery, if present, did not charge using the supplied cable. You accepted the return and refund.I hoped that a second purchase from another seller, Pre Sound, would be unlikely to be unusable. Sadly on this, again the power button to start and stop did not work. the battery, if present, did not charge using the supplied cable and so was also it also unusable.The AV direct packing was excellent with an address and box useable to return. The Pre Sound player came in a very strong plastic bag with lots of bubble-wrap stuck to the inside of the bag ( very protected) but with no return address and had to be cut apart to extract the player and so unusable to use for return.I was unable to tract down Pre Sound so please provide an addressed package to return this useless player device and return my payment.

標準のSEM1は音のざらつきが気になり聴けたものではない。SEM2は分解能が優れなかなか素晴らしい。しかし、投資金額に見合った音ではない。SEM3もSEM2に及ばない。SEM2が標準セットで￥148,000だったら「☆5」かな。

I am awaiting the refund for my first Astell & Kern SE180, as it would not power up. Purchased another from Astell & Kern's website, and this is the same. The superior quality of these very expensive machines is mythical, as they dont appear to test them. Cant comment on the audio quality, as in spite of having purchased two of these, I have yet to hear one.

ルーターがかなり接近してもAmazonMusicで再生が途切れるSE180Wi-Fi壊れてるのか？？？。ファームウェアーで改善してくれないかな。Wi-Fi6をOFFにしたら改善したぽい。ファームウェアー1.50で改善したかも。Bluetooth５の送信性能が少し良くなって離れてもAptXでも切れなくなった。（CXｰPlusTrueWirelessで曲をチェックしたが）しかし、iPhoneに比べてBluetooth５の（AACにて）送信性能が明らかに劣っている。今後、iPhone並に改善されるのか
