I use foc and stable squeezer android app from day 1 on my phones and sample rate can be checked under "more info" when I hit the 3 dots on the right. Cheers.
I would not recommend Antipodes products as an investment The upgrade cycle is too fast. I bought my EX-CX pair at around 50% full retail and they were only a year old. I see 6 month old K50’s selling for 60% of the new price.
Chord products seem to a better investment since used products seem to sell for around 80% of the new price.
Anyone still on 3.11 finding the update later button not working so not able to get into the server settings page to change players?
Happens the same with both servers.
New Years Eve and DHL finally delivered my K30. I am not sure I would of ever got it if I hadn’t intervened with DHL directly. I am not happy with the direct ordering from start to finish. It may be a one off so hopefully others find it otherwise.
As far as the K30… a definite upgrade to the EX (without Oladara) and several posters say it even gets better with burn in. My ssd from the EX was plug and play. As we are all hunkering down due to Comicron I plan on spending time learning all the ins and outs. Time for a libation.
I noticed the supplied ethernet cable is STP. I’ve always used UTP to prevent ground loops. Does anyone know Antipodes thoughts on this? BTW… best supplied tool ever is the gizmo for removing the ssd drives. Wish there was one with the EX as I resorted to channel locks and a bit of rubber to get them out at tines.

For me the supplied ethernet cable was the best sounding in my system I tried several others....surprisingly the free one was the best, I compared up to a range costing £1500.00, Hope that helps...
Had a bit of trouble with led status on my CX that I never power off when I returned home earlier this week with music still playing .. it was amber and even off after I meddle a bit. Mark had kindly advised that it may had been somehow out of sync for whatever reason.
Hope below which I redrafted will help some since I googled and checked Antipodes documentation but had somehow failed to find out what Mark quickly responded as usual for the appreciated support.
Cheers.
Startup:
Click the front panel power button - hold it in for one second and then release. The Ready LED will begin to flash. When it has stopped flashing your AMS is ready to use.
Shutdown:
Click the front panel power button - hold it in for one second and then release. The Standby LED will begin to flash. When it has stopped flashing your AMS is shutdown. Never remove power from the AMS until shutdown is complete.
LED off:
Some users will wish to turn off the LED lights, particularly in a home theatre situation. To do so, simply use a very short click of the front panel Power Button. The next time you do one second click, the LEDs will light again
Firstly I will admit that Squeeze sound is superior to roon but…. their gui just sucks. I have set up Tidal, Qobuz and arranged the top menu as best I can but the user experience is way, way down the list of software I am experienced with. Even less than Amarra. I realize it has been out of service for years and many open source programmers have tried to maintain it but roon is lightyears ahead. Antipodes have done a good job of modifying the Material skin to make it useable for those you absolutely need the sound uptick. Imho if one is interested in new music discovery then roon is the only choice.
I now see what Ken and Nick have been saying about the MPD library integration on the dual computer machines. I was really hoping I would have had direct access to my library as I had withe EX. Maybe Antipodes can find a way around this as I still prefer that sound for my pggb files.
I was going to try Plex on the K30 but running it on my Synology 920+ is the best user experience I have had. FWIW I use an Nvidia shield for playback will full passthrough.
One last thing… To make your roon remotes (ios) even snappier, go into settings, roon and tell it to reset roon on next startup.

When I don't know what I want to hear, I go to Roon. Such a vast difference in usability, despite the Material skin seeming to have so much potential.
Taiko mentioned that they have actually hired a UX design team for their upcoming Extreme-only music app. I have a feeling that it's going to be a very special application but unfortunately the cost of entry is well beyond my means as it will only run on an Extreme.
@Progisus which player are you using when you run Roon?
