Hmm. You did a complete power off (remove power cable) after flashing, wait 30sec and power on again?

New module gives a blacker background, deeper, more precise bass line, some more mikro details and transparency too. I do not think it will influence other inputs like AES, I2S, but I only use OPT and USB on my WL so can not comment on that…

There is a new USB plugin module that has galvanic isolation that I changed in my WL (FW 2.10). Upgrade worth doing!👍😃

The Red is good I think, not heard it my self. But a couple of facts on the side: The Rivo cpu is many times faster than the one in Red. With Volumio you can have plugins like room corrections, internet radio, youtube etc. Red not so flexible. Rivo with good LPS is very good with streaming...

Volumio is rock stable at my place. Very happy with Rivo! I recommend! But if your hw is broken, then of course there are unstabilities. Looks like you must get a new unit?

Start app, source settings, turn Bluetooth input playback ON. Do not remember if it is default on after Factory reset…

I had some problem to connect to MyVolumio, everything else worked ok. After some fault hunting, it turned out to be the firewall in the router that stopped the MyVolumio, so after opening up firewall for that connection, everything has been stable for months. Knock on wood! :)

Rivo have AirPlay…😉

I have Wavelight, used to run Zen Stream, sold it and bought Volumio Rivo. Upgraded with better powersupply. Much better sound than ZS, and the SW is also very stable and works fine, also with external usb hdd or network drive :)

Thanks for your feedback. Let´s hope WLS update will come around high end! :) Have you (or others) compared the WLS to any other streamers? Holo Red was just an example of a streamer I know by reputation.

Hi! How is the Wavelight Server WLS progressing with sw/fw? Is it possibel to connect direct to Tidal and Qobus now, or is still Roon membership a must before you can connect indirect to Tidal or Qobus? How does it compare to Holo Red or other streamers? ;)

So what was your findings on SQ between these streamers? Please tell! ;-)

Hi! I have the Rivo with external USB drive connected to it, I can browse this library as a standard harddrive with folders and albums like "drill down", or search in metadata for artist, song, genres etc. Very happy with it! :)

For me the FW update to 210 resulted in better defined and deeper bass, imaging and transperency improved as well on my horn system. Glad it worked out for you, and I agree that the FW update process is not optimal by playing a wav file. The WL bluetooth app should have been used for this...

Hi! My guess it is that the datastream from your MAC to WL is resampled from 44.1 to 48k, thus not bit perfect when WL received it and update fails. I think an other SW than iTunes must be used? Perhaps possible to turn off resampling in OS system mixer? Found one tio here...

Report back when you have installed it! :)

New USB module has galvanic isolation, thats the main difference as I have understood it. This should not to my knowledge influence the other inputs.

In my horn system this resulted in blacker background, improved transparency, better pin pointing and 3D :relaxed:

Thanks for your meaning on the matter! :) Some say that DACs doesent differ, some says Streamers doesent matter, some says Routers doesent matter, some says power conditioners doesent matter, some says USB cables doesent differ, ... Its all 1´s and 0´s and they all come in bit perfect in the...

Volumio Rivo with better DC power works very well (Ferrum Hypsos) over Ethernet, WIFI, USB, SPDIF, EBU. It also has app that plays better than native Tidal app. Rivo is also Roon ready, hadles external disk with music, includes lifetime Volumio Premium subscription. Worth to do comparison with...

Hi! Some people claim better SQ when streaming audio from Tidal/Qobus/Networkdrive... to a streamer by putting 2x mediaconverters before streamer converting ethernet to optical and back to ethernet again before it goes into streamer. The straight ethernet connector should be galvanic isolated...

No problems with SE output (or XLR) on my WL, must have been something wrong with the unit. Preamp / volume function works flawless in my horn system :sunglasses:

Power completely off (remove AC cord), wait 60sec. Put AC cord back in and power up. Normally this does the trick…

Hehe, no, new FW version is an improvement in my system. Played songs for some hours now after upgrade; I am sure😉 My source is Volumio Rivo with Ferrum Hypsos. Cheers!

Jepp, agreed; deeper, more defined low end bass and bigger soundstage :beerchug:
