@jheppe815 That had to be a hair-pulling exercise. I haven't tried mine with WiFi. I already have the ethernet cable run to where my equipment is, so I just use it. With yours, I wonder if the firmware update process hiccuping all those times at the beginning might have left something screwed up even after it finally succeeded. Impossible to know, obviously. Anyway, sorry you had all that aggravation. Hopefully my experience will stay positive. 🤞

Hi, all. There doesn't seem to be one, yet, so I thought I'd start just a general discussion thread on this new streamer for owners to share tips, tricks, issues, solutions, system setup, etc. Kind of a one-stop shop for any potential owner, as well.
I just took delivery of mine. It's smaller than I expected, which is not a complaint. Doesn't need to be any bigger than it is. Took me longer to find the right length of digital cable from the closet than it did to actually set the thing up, and that's including letting it install a firmware update. Seems to be pretty plug-and-play. It had the correct input selected by default. I turned off all the outputs but the one I'm using. Picked up my iPad, told Roon to send it music, and away she went. No muss, no fuss.
I'm feeding mine via ethernet. Qobuz is the main source. Some local files, as well. Output is coax digital to the DAC in my Mac pre, for now. I'll be switching to the USB out when my Denafrips Pontus arrives, and balanced analog from there to the pre.
No tips or tricks to report so far, as I haven't needed any. :)

@trentmemphis - I was using wifi.

Gotcha, @mbolek . Sounds like they may have some QC issues to work out with their WiFi functionality. |
I still have Wi-Fi issues too. I was waiting to have a buddy of mine come by and see if he could get it to hook up thinking that maybe I was doing something wrong. I’m gonna find out this weekend. I’ll let you guys know if I have issues. I hope I don’t I really love the unit bury the internal DAC sounds amazing and I’ve had some nice DAC’s…Bricasti m1 and Meitner m3..etc. |
