SOtM smS-200 unveiled at Munich Hi-End

[DaddyCool]

What you are trying to do is not working as you might expect. The settings for the qobuz in the mpd/dnla mode seem to be useless. Is this unfinished work? But the SMS-200 can be a excellent dnla audio player if you control it in an other way. There are control apps that are working very well with the SMS-200 as a dnla player. My favourite control app (android) is BubbleUPnP. It has settings for a range of sources (local, cloud, mediaservers etc). There are settings for Qobuz, Tidal, Google music, dropbox, onedrive and more. For IOS I use Lumin as a control app. Lumin can handle Qobuz and other streaming sources also properly.

It is a problem related with some changes Qobuz made few months ago.

Any MPD/Upmpdcli based player is not anymore able to access Qobuz

how can i install Lumin on my sms 200?

[stefano_mbp]

@MGX-UK Lumin app can be installed on a smartphone or tablet.

It is a control point.

You need this configuration (for the best experience)

- SOtM sms200 with MPD & DLNA service enabled

- nas or network shared music archive

- Upnp server installed on the nas (MinimServer, Asset, ..., MinimServer the best from my point of view)

- Bubbleupnpserver installed on the same nas or somewhere available on the network

- Lumin app installed on iPad/iPhone (best) or Android device

Yes, I did. But not interested as I don’t use Tidal or any other streaming service

[tedwoods]

It'd be great if SOtM jumped on the Tidal Connect boat...

Regardless, I'm happy with Bubble upnp.

It’s not SOtM, it should be MPD and/or Upmpdcli 

(SOtM uses MPD https://www.musicpd.org and Upmpdcli https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/upmpdcli/upmpdcli-manual.html )

So if they provided support, then it would be a matter of just a firmware update?

Yes, just a firmware update ... I suppose 

[audiobomber]

I doubt it would even need a firmware update. MPD should be sufficient as the interface.

[tedwoods]

I've sent an e-mail to SOtM to see their approach.

[tedwoods]

May from SOtM was -as usual- very prompt and kind to explain that currently, Eunhasu OS does not support Tidal Connect directly. 

Tidal Connect app can be used only via the Shairport(Airplay) function, although I haven't personally tried that.

SOtM are however planning to design their own app to make everything easier, but, as is the case with other manufacturers, this usually takes a bit of time.

sotm sms-200 V0.5.0 firmware
Out now! Have anyone took it on a spin yet ?

[bmoregnr]

My upgrade to v5.0 went well last night and things working smoothly.  It looks like it added an on/off toggle for logging errors presumably if off it would operate faster.  It defaulted off and I left it there and didn't notice any major change say in MPD on/off, switching menus etc.

 

I checked some stuff I had listened to within the last week and it felt a small bit less congested sounding throughout.  At the same time as this upgrade, I tried to address a new issue with starting MPD not going active without a reboot, I re-imaged a new card that is faster than what was used; so maybe that has something to do with it as I really don't know the potential impact of that on playback.  Frankly it was probably just a mood thing what with psychoacoustics and all.

 

Last thing, my Kernel check didn't do a clean reboot and I had to hard reboot it.  It still is showing  4.18.19-215.fc27.armv7hl as the current Kernel version, so I'd appreciate it if anyone finds out that is wrong and I can try again.

Hi

I upgraded to v.5.0 yesterday with no issues and no subsequent apparent problems.

Started with the Kernel check, then the f/w upgrade. On checking the system details I currently have Kernel =4.18.19-216.fc27.armv7hl (SMP) armv7l

Slight difference with Bmoregnr's details above.

No difference in sound to my ears - just continues to be enjoyable!

[stefano_mbp]

Just upgraded to v5.0 without any issue and kernel, after the kernel check, is 4.18.19-216.fc27.armv7hl (SMP) armv7l

[Tommd64]

I,n my case Kernel goed automatic together with the new update. Al works fine..

[bmoregnr]

Thanks for the Kernel help everyone, I refreshed and soft reboot worked and get 4.18.19-216.fc27.armv7hl on the System Upgrade page (i might have copied something wrong when I posted 215 earlier and it might have been 216 last night as well).  Not sure why I don't get that added (SMP) armv7 language but maybe I am looking in the wrong place as I only know to look at the System Upgrade page.  That or its a hardware version thing, as I have an old sms-200 and I think we have or talk about different model versions in this thread.

If you go to System config -> Detailed system information you will see the full kernel version including (SMP) armv7l

Hello. Updated to version 5.0 like everyone else - first checked the system kernel, then the update. Looked at the kernel version - .18.19-215.fc27.armv7hl. Today I repeated the kernel check in the system update - 215. The "start update" button is no longer active.

If you have not solved this already ......

In 'System Setup' click on the system update up arrow even though it is not yellow, then the next screen should give you the option to run a kernel check even though the system update option is missing. Normally this will allow you to re-run the kernel check/update.

If you still have a problem, post back here.

Thank you for your participation. I updated the system twice, each time I rebooted SOtM, but the system version did not change - 4.18.19-215.fc27.armv7hl (SMP) armv7l.
