After update to 4.58 I have problem with RoonReady - cant play music and see message about mistake with speed of content. Will return to 4.57. Whats wrong?

Same problem here; bad sq and stuttering at roon rock. Playing timebabout 15 min.Before that it was amazing.

Very interesting. I had the same problem with. 4.58, and I also have an sotm modded switch. I’m now back on 4.57 (which, by the way, is great). But what does this say about the 100BASE-T setting on 4.57?

Ive got the sotm switch as well. Eunhasu is already playin in 1000t mode.i will try to switch it back..

[Tommd64]

Unfortunally is A new cart not the solution. Complaint stay after 15 min i have to establish A new connection..

Where are you guys getting 4.57/4.58?

I checked system update in eunhasu.local and v4.56 is the only one available which I already have.

 

Cheers,

The VO 4.59 made the music comback again! Untill now stable connection. My buffer duration is 0.45 and my resync 0.2

[Tommd64]

Thanks for your post confused! I cannot switsch to 100t or 1000t but it seems because my Sotm sNH-10G switch it doesn.t allowed so the only possibility is 1000t.

Troubles in borrowed time PnL. They are working as hard as they can. Some friends of mine installed it already without problems..But wenn it works it never sound that great until now..SoTM advises btw fixed volume in Roon....

I agree that you should not always use the latest software on this device. I was still on the 4.22 because any newer version did not work in my configuration because (as far as I understand) the new Kernel version with Fedora release 27 was unable to recognise WiFi dongles that worked before. I even bought a new WiFi dongle to try and make it work, but to no avail. So yes: they brought out a new software verion that did not work in all cases, and I happened to be one of them. Several new software versions came and they still did not work over here in my place in the Netherlands. But they keep giving it effort to finally make it work if you reported your problem , apperently. So there are disandvantages in working that way. But, as said by Confused, we can work around it by always keeping a SD card with an older version that did work on your system. 

 

That is inconvenient, yes. I always have to unplug my SOtM gear and place it near my router so I can connect it by ethernet cable and then do the update or place an old sd card back in. Only then I can make the settings for WiFi and I can place it back in my system again to reinstall the Qobuz plugin and some other settings. I also always lose my favorites in Squeezelite, so up front I also have to enter them in Qobuz itself. A pain in the a##, but I apreciate the sound enough to take the effort every time

 

 

Well done M ive got the same problems in the Netherlands although the dealer en distributer is sublime and the sound is faboulous..Perhaps the Kernel is the recent issue; i will try another NUC to experiment with this issue..

To be frank, I guess it allows SOtM to provide more rapid, and cheaper, development.  Essentially they are using their customers as Beta testers.  This is a lot faster and cheaper than performing extensive in house testing, especially considering the vast range of associated kit and options that the end users have available.  There is some evidence of this when you consider that 4.58 was never offered as an Eunhasu update, only something on the SOtM documents page, to be downloaded and burned as an image, something most users would not bother to do.  (although 4.59 is available in Eunhasu, I have to admit)

 

One trick for those frustrated by this, simply ignore any new updates for at least a month.  After a month, anything buggy should have been removed or replaced anyway, the versions that survive a month should be ok.

Its advised to always switch with a good working sd card. Take a least  a 16gb card . In that case its always possible to go back to a good working exemplary.

I dropped £2k on SOtM kit a year ago ?

Would I do so today ? Nope. Marketing disaster.

On  the bright side you never get that brilliant sounding product for a price like this.and its still innovation to a Class A performance and its growing ever since. most products are what you pay is what you get..

On teh dark side theres are Beta influences and you gotta live with that..

Thank you very much! Is it Roon Rock? It is based on Linux. My Roon Server works under Win10... Maybe I need to review the network settings?

In youre case if possible i will certainly do that!!

as the price point is quite the same (so so), I am hesitation between the SMS200 ultra neo and a intel NUC, as a roon endpoint, anyone has made a comparison?

De best way if you can effordit is to chooce for both; De Nuc for Roon and the Sms200ultra as an end point. The nuc alone is a badbidea unless you use is for temporary purpuse. The only way to let the nuc sound is to connect him with the tx usb ultra but thats about the same price and the sms 200. Ultra is the better opion..

These are not interchangeable things in context of use with Roon. I think you need NUC i7 (for roon server) + SOtM SMS-200 (or Ultra for roon brige) for best solution. Read documentation on roon site.

Exactly as i posted before; the only difference is that the nuc can play but not in the highest levels unless you add an endpoint like the sotm200ultra Neo 9or the cheaper sms200neo)

As the owner of an i7 nuc with Audio-Linux and an SMS 200 ultra neo, I disagree.  Don't even get me started on the software for the SMS-200 series...

I know the SoTM software isn’t always the easy way but once it works you get the best SQ and value for money. Set the nuc on the sotm and you have a great combination..

I tried as you mentioned, its not comparable.  Strictly speaking it makes no real sense, but it performs better and never glitches... isnt what you want in the end?  SotM software wasnt even stable at 44.1/16 for me.

I’m sorry to hear that. That’s certainly not the case for me..but i can’t deny issues sometimes by some updates..But stability isn’t the problem in most cases compared to the number off sales..

[Tommd64]

Try. My sotm in the searchbar above.. mostly it works..Than change your dhcp in static in eunhasu. And lock in in your router..

[Tommd64]

Please rebood after update your sotm sms200 AND computer( roon rock)

[Tommd64]

Mitch, de sps 500 is ,, as it said a switched power supply. Instead of a liniar power supply. Nothing wrong with that coz it sounds great. If you have no wallwart power you have almost certaintly a 12v input on your sotm sms200ultra. Are you sure you use the right voltage?? Check you original box..

[Tommd64]

Hi Mitch; perhaps you already treid this but anyway ill state it.  Please try first to switch your nuc out. Then switch your sms200 out ( watchout only on the front and wait for 2 minutes. The put on the Nuc and wait for 2 minutes before switch youre sms 200 on the front. Again wait for 2 minutes...If this doesnt work try with power on a reset on the back of the sms200 and wait for 5 minutes..Problaby your sorrow will be over..

[Tommd64]

Hallo no issues here with 4.59 with 100t. Everything is stable;100t Sounds definitely different but i have nt got the time for a longtime listening between the 100t and 1000t.

Which Eunhasu mode are you using?

For the right 100t position you have to switch the auto negition OFF ( 3 buttens aside in green lights..) please Static ip is preferred for the best connection..(SoTM advise)

[Tommd64]

Ps 4.60 version works like a charm! Sounds great!
