One of the best videos related to Astell & Kern! Congratulations!

Very useful, thank you. I'm about to get my SR25 mkII. Can't wait to try out your procedure with the new Tidal version.

I just updated the Tidal app on my SR25 using this video, the approach still works perfectly, thank you so much Ripcaster!

Just entering the AK world with a SP2K, this tutorial of getting the APK stuff sorted is simply fab. Big Thanks for that.

Extremely helpful. Having no experience with Android and side loading, this sounded a lot harder than it is. Many thanks!

Thank you so much! One extra-information: not all the .apk (versions of Tidal) work. The 2.33 doesn't (even if you download the .apk, not the .apkm!) The 2.31 version works perfect.

Thank you so much. I've been trying for weeks to do this using other instructions but yours worked the first time.

Excellent instruction and guidance. Many thanks.

Thank you very much I just got an AR15 and am very happy to have tidal working after it stopped on my AK70 MKII. This was very helpful and straight forward I'm much obliged.

i haven't recieved my SA700 yet- but you Sir are a legend

thanks so much for putting this video on, I was frustrated that the pre installed Tidal app on my new SR25 could not download any music, Tidal support were not helpful. you saved the day.

Just bought a SR25 which arrived today -found this video really helpful & easy to understand -downloaded Qobuz which was a breeze and sounds really good just have to play around with the EQ to fine tune for my music.

You would think Astell & Kern would already have this or something like it already installed when you buy it as this is 2021 and companies are still making things more difficult than they need to be. Especially since people have been complaining to them for years not having the download features

Fantastic , I never would have managed that without it .

Thanks for your video. I couldn’t have done it without it.

Thanks ! this is how you explain how things works !! Astell&Kern watch en LEARN

You are amazing. There is no way I could have set up my SR25 without your video. Thank you!!!

Thank you so much! It realky helps! Have a very good day, Fred

Fantastically helpful! I dreaded doing this but your explanation and visual demonstration lead to success! Thank you.

So useful, thank you.

Thank you! Solved my problem with the (outdated?) original A&K Tidal version on SR25 and Alpha.

Thanks! That helped a lot with my brand new SR-25.

Thanks for making the video very helpful indeed. Wishing you well.

Thank u very much for a terrific guide 😊

Thanks a lot for the information, everything works perfectly!

Rick, thanks for this. Very helpful. David

Thanks!!!!! Very nice of you to share!

Thanks for the video. Is Amazon Music HD compatible?

Works perfect! Thanks

Thanks so much, installed on my SE180

Very very helpful…. Thank you so much for sharing

Thank you, this was very helpful.

That was really helpful. Thank you very much! Do you happen to know if it's possible to delete the old version of Tidal (and for that matter, Deezer & V-Link) from the SR25?

Muchas pero muchas gracias por tu tutorial, realmente me sirvió de mucho, un abrazo desde Chile 👏👏👏

Very useful; thanks

Great video, thanks for the tips. Have you ever managed to move itunes playlists to the player, or do you need to move the music and then rebuild the playlist?

Thank you!

Thanks 👍

Very helpful, thank you! That worked perfectly, installing the latest versions of Tidal and Qobuz via my Mac. A follow up question: for my own purchased music files (including artwork), how does the file structure work in terms of where to put which files? The user manual just says to copy the files onto the device, which isn't very precise.

Thank you so much for this video and the details in the comments below. After a couple of days of trying to get Tidal loaded, I spotted the detail below on using version 2.31.0. I have now loaded the service and working. However, I notice that the dial on my SA700 remains red (16bit) when playing MQA tracks via the full app. On the pre-installed version, MQA tracks set the colour green (24 bit). I am wondering of this is due to the older version not playing MQA. My settings are set to Master for streaming and download.

Thanks so much x

Is spotify work as well???

Very helpful! Thank you! I just bought Astell&Kern SR25. I ran into a problem with Tidal. There's not enough space on the internal storage to make all my music offline. I bought a new microsd card 1 TB to solve the problem. However, it still tells me there´s not enough internal storage. It´s as if it doesn't shift to the new microsd card. Can you help?

Great video, but my personal opinion is astel kern can't rip thousands of bucks from people and make them do this tinkering that's just not right, fix it in the product and then sell it, I will rather go ibasso sony fiio

Thank you:)

Great video and very clear explanation, many thanks! Is there a way to install Tidal on an Astell & Kern AK500n as well?

Hello, I recently bought this model. I tried the method you publish but it does not appear on the device. Could you help me please.

Excellent video, however after I've copied the APK file to my Kann Cube's Open service folder, the Cube can't 'see' it so I can't run the file and update the older version of the APK file I already have (version2.24.0) and this older version won't allow me to log in anymore. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks

i owner SR 15, after copy *.apk in path, in menu Services I don't see new app((((

Hi! Excellent video! I have a query, my SP1000 fell to the ground and the rear carbon fiber layer cracked ... everything seems fine but when I play songs via streaming on Tidal through the 3.5 output I hear a base noise in my Shure SE846 ... if I connect them to the 2.5 output that noise is not there. When I play a song from the player in the 3.5 output some noise may appear and it disappears completely when I deactivate wifi !!! What can be?? Is it a defect in the unit or do you have another explanation?

Can you remove the pre-installed application since it's just bloatware

Can you direct offline download to the USB card ?

Hi this is not working with latest version, 37, I tried the one that you use, and it is working fine

Hi! Tried all versions from 2.36.2 to 2.24 on my SP2000 (1.26). Can't login. "SOMETHING WENT WRONG. TRY AGAIN LATER". Built in Tidal is working.

Does it still work with the latest firmware

Hi Dose it works for Kann?

hi from Italy! I have just bought a used ak70 mkII ... is it yet possible to install Tidal on it? Thanks in advance

HI, thanks for your video. my macbook pro however can't open the app file to download it! Any suggestion?

Will this work on AK70? first edition not second. I can't get the Tidal that was on my app to work anymore. it said can't connect to services

Same process for Spotify?

All I get is an error there was a problem parsing the package

Is downloading songs like this for free even legal?

Tengo un AK380. Es posible instalarle una nueva versión de Tidal?

For a device that costs €2,500 this kind of circus to get simple music downloaded is ridiculous. Was Microsoft involved in the decision not to have an easier and user friendly source for Apple users.......?

Step by step and it still will not load on my SR15.

I need help!! I am listening to TIDAL music on my iPhone without any problems, but when I try to listen to it on the Astell & Kern SP3000, a Playback error message appears.
