Tried my old Windows laptop but I get that repairing file system message, left for two hours still frozen, checked bios etc, broken. I don't want to spend half a day sorting it out.
It was not for the display, but for the low frequency hum some of us are experiencing. So far it hasn't solved anyone's problems. I just ordered an iFi Groundhog to see if it cures the problem. Worked for Mr Lee on Youtube.
Exactly. Sounds like my story, what a bunch of bullsh*t that a mass market product in 2022 doesn't provide useable updates, particularly for mac users. Yesterday I tried FIVE different apps on both mac and widows, error after error. spent as much time deleting apps as it would have taken to do the proper update. I have been in conversation with the guy from Gustard who provided the supposed patch, I'm going to talk to him about this and see if we get anywhere.
With you all the way, I've just been wasting the whole morning trying virtual machine software on my M1 MacBook to run Windblows (UTM, Virtualbuddy to name a couple) all didn't work, it's a right pain (best behaviour language filter applied). Good luck with talking to Gustard......
The streamer works flawlessly for me with Bubble UPnP , using ana Android tablet as the controller. Not a single burp. Tried Mconnect with the ipad, also perfect. Tidal and Qobuz.
I'm writing them this morning, after I give Noa's rewrite a shot. It's a scary thing for me to start writing new code into my system, like a blind guy driving an Indy car.
Does it work out of the box not other 3rd party with spotify and qobuz?
No, there is no Spotify or Tidal Connect, you have to use a third party app like those mentioned, or Roon. It was new for me too, but worked out without much hassle. Not a huge fan of the Bubble interface, but it will do for now.
Ok the streamer part is very important for me, as I only want to set up my NAS as file location/DLNA. I wont be using Roon or other workarounds. Bummer! ... this Dac sounded so promising but the streamer part should be "connect" also
That should be a piece of cake, not a gimmick at all, this streamer is very good.The upnp apps can find your local files easily and display your library.
The stream goes straight to the R26 via ethernet cable, so it's not getting messed with by any devices. You install either BubbleUpnP (windows/Android) or Mconnect (apple) to a phone/laptop/tablet, and it serves as a remote. In practice, it's as if you're streaming through the device as you normally would, but that's not what's happening. The biggest difference is that you won't be interacting directly with the Tidal/Spotify interface, you'll be looking at the Bubble interface, which acts as a middleman of sorts. I'm not crazy about the Bubble UI, but it's just fine and works really well. Hopefully Gustard will release a Tidalconnect update at some point. And if yo have local storage connected to your router, the bubble or mconnect apps will find that too. It's pretty slick, really.
But funny thing is it does mqa, so i don´t understand why it wont do the "Connect"
