Still, it is just a software - must not be rocket science to implement.
There was one opinion in our forum, suspecting Hiby keeps Darwin II for adding some additional “competitiveness” to recent models.
Of course it is weird that most expensive model stopped getting features updates just in one year..
Was going to say...just DL them. I'd also like to see the Mastermind plugin available for R8 II. I wonder if the lack of variable lineout in RS8 is a hardware limitation.
Agreed. Yes I know you can sideload but that’s a faff (…and noted some users had issues...). Commitment to DarwinV2 via firmware was made in July ‘23. Can we at least get some transparency on what the issue is and is the intention to release as firmware at some point, or is that commitment no longer the case. Just be straightforward.
As the developer of Darwin v2 myself I have never been told why they have never been (seems like never will?) be put into firmware except in the R8II (not even the RS8!).
Note, the Darwin v2 filters in the R8ii are composed of 1024 taps instead of 256 taps as on the RS6 and RS8, and so will be different (superior?) in any case.

I also know that releasing Darwin V2 on supported devices was on the official action plan as of several months ago, so whatever the reason for it not appearing, it does not stem from deliberate choice.

I personally love the Darwin v2, and I so much miss my RS8. In hope that the device is repaired next month, its been a long 4 months without it. As a RS9/DSP fan, we are so lucky to have you active in this group.

So, we will be going for a holiday and it will be first time that I'd need to charge RS8 with something other than the CR08 dock.
Any advice or suggestions on what to use/what not to use?

Quick question. I don't know if it makes sense: Which of the plug ins are different forms of EQ, and which change other sound characteristics?
We have DRX10K, Mastermind, Sound field and Convolution.
