Even worse, I can not flash back to factory 1.43 anymore! The second column on the USBimager is blank, with no option to choose. I tried the Etcher but could not see the target drive. even PC showing I successfully mounted the A26. I am stuck.
I don’t think either of you understand what you are doing.
Just FYI, I flashed my A26 many times before, All successful except this time.
Thanks for your reply. my A26 still works as a DAC after I flashed it to Wikaudio firmware, however, it does not work for me to use Tidal Connect. I tried to flash it back so I still can use the older Tidal version on Android, but it failed. I will consider your suggestion.
Pull out the card, I used an endurance 64 GB card and externally flashed the card with Wikaudio firmware, still does not work and can't be seen when in the machine through the USB cable connected. Pulled it out again, flashed the official Gustard 1.43, everything worked again. and can be seen when in the machine through the cable. I guess I will stop here till the next version comes out. Thank you,Mickey!
Hello friends, this third party firmware does not work in A26.
Hi, thanks for the info. I wouldn't think of installing self-help firmware in such a device myself. And that's the problem: how is it possible that with a machine that is not downright cheap we are not guaranteed that it will work fine? Version 1.43 is a year old, and for most of that time it was available surreptitiously through some user links. You advertise the A26 with the words "more protocols to come". When will that happen? When will the streamer work just right (connectivity, reliability..)?
