I have been experiencing some error messages and interruptions in playback with the last system update (6-5-18). Is anyone else having issues? Arthur told me a software update with a fix is in the works.

I'm on vacation and doing a bit of travelling, so I have not been home to do that update. I think the last one I did was right before I left, maybe 5/28 or so? I didn't notice any issues there.

After the new update, I can't figure out how to access my favorites from Tidal when using Euphony Stylus to access it. Am I missing something?

 

[dcguy73]

Never mind, found it. But is it intuitive to have a magnifying glass icon be a drop-down menu?

 

[project86]

Just got home from travelling so I still haven't updated. Will try to do it ASAP and see how it works for me.

I haven’t upgraded from the original software that came with the unit. I was told this weekend to wait for a week to do the update when everything is resolved.

Joining u guys here, do u know if the euphony can do multi-channel files in DSD and PCM? I know it can be embedded with HGplayer to do upsampling. HQP can do m-ch but need to pay for that license separately.

Seem this thread has been silent for some time, while the Euphony buggy server is out:

Anyone experienced this new server yet?

I was thinking of getting this Buggy but then I decide to try to build my own PC from either Pinkfaun or Hdplex and i can choose an IS2 and Audio USB bridge from pinkfaun or other places. U can actually buy this same zotac buggy separately too. I posted that on the computer audiophile site of the same topic.

I tested it extensively and it plays M-ch very well PCM. I have no DAC that can do M-ch DSD so that is not tested but the conversion from DSD to PCM works fine.

Thanks. I presume this zotac buggy can do music streaming? There is not much information over the official website.

I've tested multi-channel as well, all appears great... but just like the above poster, I don't have a multi-channel DAC to actually use it with.

The Buggy was an older release, prior to the Euphony PTS system that I have. It's basically an existing Zotac CI523 Nano with the little platform thing added. Not sure it has any specific benefits other than that, and you'll want an upgraded PSU to extract the most out of it. But it should do all the things my Euphony PTS does - Roon server or endpoint, Stylus mode (which is their proprietary version of MPD playback), etc.

Hello!
I’ve Auralic Mini that feeding my c.e.c. Dac, so the question is - would be Euphony difinately better sounding streamer?
I trying to find something that sounds like cd but without spennding too much on equipment like Aurender, Lumin, Melco e.t.c.
And Euphony seems to me very interesting concept...

Thank You!

It depends on what CD sound u are talking about. If it is some some high end CD player like Sony esoteric or PS audio it may be hard to beat but euphony OS beats my audirvana, hqplayer and j river on MAC, and i use Euphony on same Mac. It brings the digital audio really close to CD and may beat it on well recorded hi res. But i have not really compared the CD version of the same digital download. That would be best way to test. I don’t have many duplicates yet.

Actually I mean a regular cd qualaty that comes from CD player / transport like I have for example (c.e.c. Transport). But some times I listen the music from my digital collection and want same quality....
If Euphony beat Auralic and cames close to cd that can be very good thing instead of spending thousands grands...
