Sonicorbiter - The Operating System

[rickca]

Jesus, do you use OpenJDK or Oracle JRE in Sonicorbiter?  Is it different between 2.3 and 2.5?

[JoseL]

Hi Jesus, 

I have not received my SD card yet.

I did receive the microRendu Software Version 2.5 notification email on April 25 at 11.32 AM (Arizona time) and made payment the same date at 7:13 PM.

Did my SD card make it to be shipped on the first batch or will ship on the second? 

TIA,

[Isflicka]

I have the exact experience. The unit shows no sign of life with the 2.5 card in, boots normally on 2.3. I have tried this several times. The card seems to seat properly and it certainly clicks into place and stays in and it removes properly after pushing further in. Any other problem solving possible?

Same here, no sign of life with the 2.5 card.

Mine boots up and seemingly works, but Roon doesn't see the RoonReady, LMS doesn't see Squeezelite, and HQP doesn't see the NAA. Hopefully Jeus will be able to straighten it out. (And yes, I've done the "save" bit).

My 2.5 card works but I did have some trouble getting to music playing.  Can you ping the uR ? Is it recognized by a network scan ?

[lumos]

Mine had no sign of life with the 2.5 card in. Not only could I not ping it, the led on the network adapter did not light up. By my count just on this forum in a week there have been 6 cases like this so I assume that Jesus will get this resolved quickly.

v2.5 makes Roon see it as a new device. Open the audio setup and enable it. If you had DSP  settings, suggest you save them while in v2.3, then retrieve them once you have enabled the "new" device.

No, no ping and no network led.

What are the main benefits of DSP in Roon for you guys? I haven't tried it myself yet. My new card hasn't arrived yet (UK)

First of all I use the convolver. I've used room correction for many years and the combination of Roon and RC is beyond nice! (I create filters with Audiolense) In addition the upsampling and parametric equaliser is top quality so I use all of it. Combined with a microRendu, the Mutec MC-3 + USB and a Devialet 250 Pro I have a very nice system to play music on! Sorry about the late response... I did not notice your question until this evening

Jesus,

Really sorry to raise that issue for the nth time, but :

1- Would'nt it be normal and nice to your customers to tell them what this update is all about ? In other words, why are you so opposed to publishing release notes, as most other companies in the software/hardware business do ? What would you loose by doing so ?

2- You seem to assume that all your customers subscribe to the Sonore forum and religiously read all that's in there. Those who do not will  have missed this update notice. I humbly think, and I am sure I am not the only one, that there ought to be a better way to communicate update notices to your customers, on the sonicorbiter.com web page, or by email (assuming of course that you maintain a list of your customers).

 

Please be sure that I appreciate the effort you put in providing us with a good product like the mrendu. I just do not understand why you do not feel how paying some attention to small details like those would immensely benefit your company.

 

It would be interesting to see how others feel about that.

 

Regards (and they are sincere)

Those of us on 2.5 only see an "update" to 2.3 on the web page - I'd like to update, but not sure it wouldn't re-install 2.3

I'm on the same timeline as you and mine arrived today. Everything went smooth as clockwork - upgraded 2.5, reconfigured Roon and I'm off

No of cause it won't. Just press update. (I've done). 

[R1200CL]

I think all of those that have received a bad image, should be allowed to try install the image them self. (Unless it's being solved by TeamViewer). 

 

Also, we may be told what cause this problem.

 I too just had a very smooth 2.5 firmware update. I was up and running in just a few minutes.   I was very happy to spend the $20 for this firmware. The PCM to DSD clicks issue alone was worth the cost LOL  so thanks Jesus for making this available to us.

Nice try, but that doesn't work. 

It also doesn't see my DAC (mytek 192) and that apparently causes some of the other functions not to work.

Yes, the MR needs to see a DAC on it's USB port to behave. Any other USB DAC you could try?

If your MR boots on 2.5 Jesus should be able to fix the problem by logging in to it.

I tested the Mytek 192 before releasing 2.5 and it was working fine. I'll test it again and let you know.

There's always a chance of a bad card. However we have a pretty tight process for verifying the cards and this is actually unlikely. We sent a few new cards just in case and have more feedback now. We should know more soon...

No worries...press away.

This is a fast moving train. Press the update button and get on board or don't and you will be left behind. These updates are bug fixes and an attempt to keep you up to date. If you are looking for details go to the Roon or Signalyst websites. 

[lumos]

Please could you tell me the email address for arranging a replacement card.
