Oh my gosh, THANK YOU SO MUCH for fixing numbers 9 and 10, those were a big issue for me!

Just to clarify, what exactly are the "certain situations" mentioned in number 9?

All is well (also had no issues before). Unfortunately still no link to the equalizer and no scrolling speed acceleration.

Maybe next time?

Seems like a collection of fixes (many of the fixes were in the last beta).  New features like you mentioned aren't in this release, but i am awaiting them!  But I will take stability improvements any day...

Not seeing fix #16 implemented. Am I the only one and hence did something wrong? Or was this something that again we were waiting on since release and still waiting on 5 months later?

What files are you trying to EQ?  If it's very high res, the processor can't handle it. You can't EQ DSD or anything over 88.1.

Still wondering about this, Joe!

Edit: Just realized this is the newest firmware as of yesterday.  I will give it a shot!
 
 
I have been having consistent issues with jittery playback on any audio formats above 16/44.1.  This includes FLAC (24/48+) and DSD (.iso or DFF).  With audio at CD quality or below I have yet to experience these problems.
 
Is this an issue that has been seen with this firmware?  Should I try the beta firmware?
