Update went smoothly for me. Love this DAP, it’s my favourite source. Don’t think the update fixed anything other than the embedded Tidal. I use Tidal side loaded and the native player. Now just hoping Spotify HiFi works whenever that launches :)

I can't believe it's been only about 15 days since I got mine. I've been listening to them a LOT and they already feel comfortable and very familiar. Now tempted to get the Feliks Echo since so many people in this thread have raved about it. I do infact get some tube goodness at the moment from...

Thanks for the prompt reply, that is good to know.
