Title: Astell & Kern A&norma SR25 manual installation with .apk file
Post by: Bobsen on 2020-09-16 12:45:02
Hi all,
I am upgrading my old fiio X7 to a Astell & Kern A&norma SR25 (with Android version 9) and would like to install FooBar2000 on it. On my old player this was done through the google store but the new player doesn't have that option.
Could some kind soul, please walk me through which files (.apk) I will need and how to install them?
I am asking on this forum, because I am hoping someone else has had the same problem.
Thanks in advance,
Bobsen

They have instructions here, even have the fb2k logo listed among the "supported" apps.

Although the instructions are just "normal" method of acquiring any android apk without play store, and i'm not sure of the legitimacy of the site linked in the article, but those are their official instructions.

I saw that as well but which version would I use? The 32 or 64? I am guessing the other was for a windows based system? That's why I asked, I am totally lost.
Thanks for replying and helping.

The manufacturer is awfully secretive about exactly which quad-core CPU they're using, but it'll probably run the arm64 version.

(I wonder why they don't say anything about the CPU? Maybe the "audiophiles" would say it sounds bad if they knew what it was...)
