How do you know this?

 

I use folder view often, especially the last import. I don't see why they would get rid of functionality.

"Hello Dejan: Folder is a function we are going to remove in far future version, we suggest you to just 'library' as we won't add additional new feature to folder since 2.0"

...in my opinion / experience...

While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing.

And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism.

keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out.

Oops, doesn't seem to be much point using MinimServer or any other intelligent sub-folder providing UPnP media server with Lightning DS if the Folder view isn't there.

We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us.

Im selling my Aries when they remove folder view, it is very important for me.
May be using a UPnP or OpenHome control point other than the Lightning DS, so get to view the folders as originally organised and provided by the UPnP media server, would be a less drastic solution?

Did Auralic actually release DS 2.0 yet, so Apple can start its approval process? I'm waiting for 2.0 as well and your reviews here. Based on functionality and stability / performance I'll order the Auralic Mini Streamer...

Gentlemen, is it a known bug or it's me here:

I have about 200gigs of music connected to my Aries via USB. And it imports almost everything except that some albums has the very first track only. No matter what I do with them (changing the tags or cleaning cache, reinstalling the app), it always do the same thing with same albums. The tags are completely OK. What am I doing wrong?

MacBook Pro + Roon > Airport Extreme > microRendu + mbps-d2s > Auralic Vega > McIntosh MC275 > Yamaha NS-2000

Wired with: High Fidelity CT-1 Enhanced RCA, Revelation Audio Labs, Fadel Art Coherence PC

New LDS version is now available. Caution is recommend for this update, since compatibility with third-party OpenHome renderers is now broken (my case, actually)... :(

 

Thanks!

 

If I recall correctly on previous versions, you had to delete the old version and add the new one rather than update. I wonder if this is still the case......

My new LDS updated automatically. (My fault for having it set to do that)

 

For some reason I can't see my album artwork in the main menu. It will show up if I do a search by artist and plays fine. The setup for me was a little awkward since I have a wired LAN system, it assumed I was looking for wireless.

 

I'm using a Synology NAS with Minimserver. It found the library OK, but the album screen is blank. I usually prefer to scroll by the album art alphabetically. BTW, The Tidal artwork shows when Album is selected. All the buttons appear normally.

same here. tried to delete the app and reinstall. didn't work. i think there is a bug in 2.0 which they need to fix. in the mean i guess i will have to know what i want to listen before i open the app. :)
