Mine completed the process just fine. As soon as it completed the download it asked me if I wanted to update. Couldn't find any changes so far, just not sure about one thing...was German language already there?

  MQS through NAS is now supported... i'm sure many will be happier now :p

 
 
Only when on the same WiFi network or even on the go from an hotspot?

Does anyone have Android File Transfer disconnect regularly during large file transfers? I didn't seem to encounter this at pre v1.11 & didn't test at v1.11 but am experiencing this on v1.15.

I'm on an iMac/Mavericks OS. I reset to defaults the AK240 after upgrading to v1.15.

Any official patch notes for v1.15?

I have not tried transferring with v1.15, but I had that problem constantly with v1.11-so I was hoping the upgrade will cure that. Interestingly, never a problem with DSD or HD Tracks downloads, only with iMac/Mavericks OS. What always worked was renaming the folder I was transferring into! Isn't that wacky, but whatever, 'cause, as is being reported everywhere, the sound from our 240 is incredible, particularly using with ALAC.

Just downloaded the 1.15 late last night only have time to listen to this update now.  Will try to do some transfer tonight and let you know if there is any problem with my MBP.

I actually did manage to listen after the upgrade & sonically it has changed from 1.11. I like it.

I was also playing with some hidden options & did the revert to default to clear out the options which is where I needed to copy all my songs back on the device & encountered the regular disconnect from Android File Transfer.

Found the patch notes for v1.15 but it's only currently available on the iRiver's Japanese website.
 
Gavin also told me he liked the new signature on v1.15.

About the Duet, I have heard from a distributor "....Instead I would opt recent version of ALO RX-mk3-B+. The latter is further development from what's now called Duett. I also like the Bass-fine-control..... previous ALO RX Version did have HISS issue, but with B+ version almost all issues are solved. And remember, Duett is based on old RX-mk3 version!"

Just for your information. I have no way to control if this is true...

The noise floor/hiss of the MkIII B+ is very noticeable with the Noble K10. It may work better with other iems and ciems.

I just updated my AK240 to V1.15. EQ OFF is still the same sonic signature as PRO.

 And using EQ OFF at flat bar makes the sound slightly softer and less aggressive/more natural. Seems like it is still the same setup as V1.11 sonically. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
