where did you got the update? doesn't seem to be available yet in Europe.
Turn off - turn on here it comes.
Somewhere I saw the internal update app, but laziness wins.

They bought me with this spectrum mode.
I wanted to do some comparison between the two streamer (the Rockna has to go back soon) but I somehow just cannot switch source. It seems I like purple... Especially when it is Deep ☺️

New firmware doesn’t seem to be available yet in US. There is also a setting to install beta firmware but I won’t do that, would rather stick with official. Tried turning the unit off and then on again same stuff. Tried checking the box for beta same result “software is up to date.” Any advice?

Edit: they apparently on their forum said that the firmware would be rolled out in stages. I actually just recommend people go to their community forum and download the zip file. I got it installed off my NAS drive through the Eversolo gui using the usb upgrade feature.

Some things I like: internal player playback screen now has themes. Nice. Spectrum is actually in line with the music playback which is nice. They fixed the keyboard input on cast for searching in apps with improved functionality. They apparently have given up on the spectrum and vu meters though for optical input from my tv it just shows a huge volume level on block letters now if you enter the top right cd or record icon while using a non streaming physical input like optical.

Apparently upsampling was enabled in the latest firmware. Just go into settings > audio > fixed sample rate output. Didn’t see anyone mention this on zidoo. It will show the original track data rate and sample rate and bit depth below the artist name and then below that will show the upsampling setting. I assume when it says 192 it means 192/24.

Upsampling always there as long as EOS mode turned off, has been the case since the beginning

Yeah I think you’re right about that. I’m not sure what some of us were getting wrong but disabling EOS engine and selecting the output rate does seem to make it work.

On another note one of my favorite streaming radio apps has most of their channels embedded in the internet radio section of the radio player app. I can find a lot of Soma FM content rather that going through airplay on my phone and draining the battery. Also even a lot of my cities’ local radio stations are available that normally broadcast on FM radio. Really am loving this device. 👍🏻

I've been listening to Fiona Ritchie and the "Thistle & Shamrock" show since the 1980s, when it was over-the-air on National Public Radio stations. It's convenient that SomaFM now streams it wherever there's Internet.

Can PC-Audio via USB-C in be paththrough to USB-A or S/PDIF out?

I was asking a similar question recently (although, I was wanting the signal to go the other way - S/PDIF -> USB), and the answer is that the firmware only supports digital outputs from the internal audio player or streamer apps. Any external digital audio input can only be output via the analog connections.

so it seems that DMP A6 software doesnt have EQ, but can someone confirm whether Roon or audirvana apply EQ to the music files played through DMP A6 as a streamer?
