As for the firmware, it was improved without uploading to A26. However, I made the same corrections in R26 and it works there. Unfortunately, I couldn't check the operation of the A26 because I have an R26 and both streamers have different firmware. It's very strange that it works for some...

I have good news, the developers managed to implement DSD into the renderer. Now you have to wait one to two months until the Debian developer releases the update package. As soon as it appears, I will try to provide the updated firmware

Everything is in the link to GitHub, below HOWTO is my conversation with the author and the described problem of use in my case of MacBook. You need to use any Linux distribution installed on your computer or a virtual machine on macOS. MacOS, despite its similarities, is not Linux.

Firmware For A26 there are a few posts earlier HERE

Just kidding too. I don't need Quoboz at all. I prefer to listen to music on vinyl, but since I bought the R26 the gap between digital and analog has blurred. I wanted a device as close to analog equipment as possible and I was not disappointed. I only listen in NOS mode without any upsampling...

I use Tidal, maybe I would use Quoboz but it is not available in my country. Discrimination! (yuck) However, I don't have an Android tablet or phone, so I invited my neighbor for coffee. We listened to the music, tested the app and the results are visible. Now you try:deadhorse: Below are links...

I downloaded both firmwares and it looks good so I will try to do that. In this case, I don't need to have physical devices, so I guess it will work.

The most important difference is that in Roon you can set the priority for playing MQA files. In Tidal Connect you cannot decide whether you are playing a file with or without MQA. In Roon it is possible. Personally, I prefer without MQA, I feel like there is a lack of detail, especially at the...

Spotify and Tidal are streaming services. Spotify offers the worst quality, Tidal offers HiRes files but is very criticized for MQA. Roon, on the other hand, is a local file server and supports streaming services such as Tidal, Quobuz, Kkbox and Dropbox. Of course, in addition to the Roon...

I was challenged by @Keysee to improve Tidal Connect on Android devices. I put in some time and finally I can say, I DID IT! I tested on a tablet with Android 10.0 and a phone with the latest TIDAL Music: HiFi, Playlists 2.107.0 APK and it works without any problems. Below is the link to the...

I don't know the password, but I do it by inserting SSH key to R26. I found a description of how to do it HERE

Gustarender 1v43 is just a name presented on the network. In fact, each device may have a different operating system. Just as the A26 has a different partitioning method, the same may be true for the AH90. It is not possible to download firmware for the AH90, so I cannot compare. In my opinion...

As promised, I am providing a link to the improved 1v43 firmware. R26_1v43_no_random_MAC.zip This is the original firmware in which I disabled random MAC. If someone uses Roon, after uploading to R26 you need to re-enable R26 in Roon Audio To the question: why did they enable random MAC? I...

That's true, since firmware 1.43 they added random MAC. I didn't even notice it, but I connected via SSH and managed to turn it off. I will try to share the corrected firmware without random MAC tomorrow.

1. If you have multimode modules, you must use multimode cables (OM3 is an aqua jacket or OM4 is an violet jacket). Yellow cables are singlemode. You can't use a multimode transceiver on single mode fiber optical cable. Large optical loss will occur if a multimode transceiver is connected with...
