It should show up in your renderer list. There's a setting somewhere in Bubble to add the renderer icon to your task bar at the bottom, it looks like a speaker. Makes it easy. Have you checked the renderer list and clicked on Gustarender v1.3 ?
Thanks for the reply. Tried connecting it but I cannot find it in the renderer list. I did the firmware upgrade, so (I assume) should be running v1.3, difficult to tell

Are you sure you have a good LAN connection? Here are a couple of things: go to settings/local renderer and at the top, "enable local renderer", and "allow remote control", if you haven't already.

Then, in settings /look and feel, scroll down a ways and turn on "show devices tab". This will place a speaker icon in the taskbar, a shortcut to renderers. Pics to follow

Has anyone been able to resolve the buzz that the R26 emits when in standby? I remember a few people mentioning it.
I've never noticed any. Are you saying you had it on both units?

Yes there is a buzz and it is not because of DC offset because the DC in my line is measured very low and I am still using a DC blocker.
Maybe Gustard used some not audio dedicated transformers here in R26 like it was in H20 case... There were general purpose transformers (according to the Talema p.n. label) installed in my H20. I was able to hear that hum 2m away from may H20. :frowning2: Only transformer exchange for audio dedicated solved this issue for me.

I really don't know.
The hum is not loud and certainly not audible during music playback but you can hear it while sitting in the room when not listening to music.

Can I ask if your R26 is only humming in standby mode? Or does it also hum when its actually on and the amp/volume is turned down? Thanks
It is humming when on with volume set to fixed.
I will check later today if it hums when in standby mode since I don't know because I have it always on.

Yes, like this. When listening to HP it was not audible. It was not hum audible in HP itself, it is mechanical hum from transformers, something like loose windings in it. :frowning2: My X26Pro doesn't suffer by this so I've hoped that it was solved by Gustard. :frowning2:
