Yes, you can revert, using the app or ifi.local, whichever is easier for you just do a soft factory reset, then update the firmware to the current version, it's under the settings tab next to where you update the firmware. I have done it already a few times and takes about 5 minutes.^^^^
Interesting you should mention network connection, the Optibox, and HQP.
In the last 3 or 4 days using HQP with Roon I have had quite a few dropouts and I also use the Optibox. I should also note that I am on the latest Beta update that was supposed to fix dropouts. I am running Roon from a recently acquired NUC which obviously has nothing else except Roon installed on it. My HQP is running on a powerful PC that is mainly used by gamers (I am not a gamer! lol) and I do not use this PC for anything else although there will obviously be background tasks running. So my setup for streaming is fairly optimum for what I want to do as far as I can see.
The other thing that has started happening since updating to Beta is that the colour of the network signal changes from White to Green on the front of the Neo, and when that happens the music stops playing. Which is strange because Green is still supposed to signify a fairly strong signal if I recall the manual correctly, but it means I get nada music playing until I reboot the Neo. I should add the Neo is literally a couple of feet from my Router so should be getting a fantastic signal.
I'm still hopefully waiting for a poster more technical than me who can tell me if it's possible to revert back from the current Beta version to the latest live Production software to see if it can resolve this for me - also calling Mr @iFi audio again!
Now keep in mind this is going to take you all the way back to the very first firmware of the NS, this is not a problem, but perhaps while you are there you can check the issues you are having on the initial, and current firmware, and possibly see where something has gone wrong!
Interesting that these issues are popping up for you guys, now keep this in mind but I am in not using HQPlayer and I am not seeing these issues, color changes/stuttering so I think we should keep mental notes to try to help find the cause of this.
Can you use HQplayer in AIO mode as a test? I ask because I do not know, but it would be interesting to see if the results are the same.
Cheers!!
