Part 5: Review Ratings, Summary
 A&futura SE200 is the second offering in the South Korean manufacturer's A&futura line of Digital Audio Players (DAPs).){kind=link}
’m planning to replace my SA700 by the SE200.
What was your experience related with the working temperature?
I normally listen in DSD format, and the SA700 is uncomfortable since it gets really hot.
How was the experience with the SE200?
Hi Eleazar, most if not all Digital Audio Players will heat up while playing back audio files in the DSD/DSF formats, some more than others. The SE200 definitely warms up after an hour of use but not to the extent that it is unbearable.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
