How does one update the firmware on a Mac? I'm hoping to get one of these soon and would like to do so to be up to date. Do you have any links that would direct me to it?

 
Sorry, not much in the way of the documentation to share... the firmware can be found here.

Mine hooks up fine, it is just that it fails to be detected during the firmware update... Have you tried updating yours?

Thanks for chiming in!


No, not yet. IIRC there was nothing important in the changelog, which is why I didn't try.

I'm on 10.12.1. But haven't tried the update yet.

But you guys are right, it says it's not compatible with OS 10.12

I could have sworn someone said the .02 release was a bit faster, but to your point, I didn't see anything about that in the release notes...

I don't find the minor lag to be bothersome at all, but if the new FW is faster, I won't complain.

How much music do you have on yours? I'm at about 240gb / 450 lossless albums, and the lag is pretty noticeable, especially when switching from the track view back to list view.
 
I'm sure it will be addressed, so not too worried about it. I do like the stark simplicity of the UI. My only burning want is the ability to queue music (play now - i.e. add to top of queue), add to end of queue), and save that queue as a playlist.

I have approximately 150gb. I'm sure that's a factor. I took a video of the UI in action too, for those that are curious.

I also want to add, there could be more speed with the hw buttons as well. It's not slow, but could be more responsive, especially at this price.

Ah, gotcha... Hmm, maybe I will try to take a video of mine as well. It is definitely laggy in places.
 
I wonder how we can best get feedback to the OS team. Maybe start a feature request / enhancement thread?

I have no idea, but that's a good place to start. I'd love to see a search function with a keyboard. Sometimes I want to hear a specific song and can't remember the exact title, especially of my edm.

I have another small complaint, has to do with the case. If I put my phone on top if the case, the stupid magnet closes my phone screen. I do it often when I'm outside walking, if I need to hold the phone with 2 hands. Driving me crazy. I really despise this case. Have a new one on order from Amazon.

Not getting that case, I never hit place order, now they are sold out. damn... Searching everywhere... No luck. So stupid I am!!
