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.

Ok, yes, if it cannot detect a DAC the roonready daemon (or the naa for that matter) won't run. That is the 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. 

 

+1, no issues with my 2.5 update using DLNA/MPD mode.

 

PCM to DSD sample rate change clicks in native DSD mode are gone, that alone worth the price of admission (for me).

+1 - no issues at all. Yes I had to set it up again in Roon.

 

Sonore just updated both the RoonReady and NAA apps to the latest version - in both v2.3 and v2.5 versions of the OS.

 

Particularly useful: NAA has been updated to 3.5.1 - if you're using HQPlayer 3.16.1 or higher, it solves the issue of HQPlayer getting into an unrecoverable error mode when connection to the NAA device is lost. Now HQP reconnects gracefully to the NAA endpoint when it gets back up online - important for those people that have the nasty habit of turning their DACs off.

Quick note:

 

All Sonicorbiter 2.5 orders as of today have shipped. If you have not received your card it should arrive soon. Some locations will take longer than others. 

 

If you have a Sonicorbiter 2.5 that does not boot up and does not have active LEDs on the Ethernet port please contact us via email.

2.5 installed successfully and apps updated.  Ping times when idle and active are <1ms as they should be.  Thanks Jesus.

I've heard there's a new and improved µRendu coming out soon.  Should be interesting!  

 

Maybe incorporating the new ISO Regen??  Would seem a natural progression.

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. 

 

I guess, I have a different idea of service / customer support. Fast moving trains are not helpful, if customers don't know where they are headed.

Understood. But you do realize it isn't Sonore's responsibility to explain updates of other companies software? Their responsibility is to tell you that 2.5 includes those updates.

Whether it is Sonores responsibility or not, they don't even tell me what "other software" has been updated (at least I didn't find any information here or on sonore.us).

 

If they have incorporated some new code for their apps, they have a version information. This way I can decide if I want to update or not (see my example below).

We are always heading to a more stable place....these are just bug fixes.

I was able to replicate your issue. I'm pretty sure I know what is going on and just need to find a work around.

I have a mini connected to a Netgear switch (GS116) and have tried ping times with two configs: mR connected to the router or mR connected to the mini's ethernet port - with the mini connected to the router via a Thunderbolt-Ethernet bridge, and bridging the ethernet connection to it's internal port.

 

Results of ping from mini:

 

mR connected to switch:

40 packets transmitted, 40 packets received, 0.0% packet loss

round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.302/0.454/0.533/0.051 ms

 

mR connected to mini directly:

49 packets transmitted, 49 packets received, 0.0% packet loss

round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.288/0.365/0.422/0.025 ms

 

This is all with v2.5.

miguelito, just checked out your system pics! Wow! ? That looks awesome... Bet it sounds rather good, to use typical English understatement.

The ultraRendu project will run Sonicorbiter 2.5. This will allow software updates and software development to move concurrently on both projects.

I like the sound of the new 2.5 Operating System. Now I need the ultraRendu. Email sent.....

I ordered 2.5 a week ago. Have not even received a shipping notification. Jesus says it will arrive when it will arrive. Go figure...

[Tubeburner]

Mine took about 8 days by 1st class mail. No shipping notice but worth the wait IMO.

I'm a complete neophyte when it comes to computer audio yet was able to install 2.5 and have it up and running in 5 minutes, I'm very happy with the results, thank you Jesus! There's a guy on Audiocircle who claims that installing the 2.5 update produced a "phenomenal" improvement in sound quality over 2.3:

I'm not sure I hear an improvement but I'll keep listening!

Thanks

I installed without problems the 2.5 update a week ago. 

Regarding SQ I also hear an improvement over 2.3. The first days it actually felt like it was a burn in

situation with this too. Sounds unlikely as it is a software change but after this week it has opened up more. Midrange is clearer and bass too so I guess and hope what I hear is correct. Would be interesting to know how others experience.

 

Regards Magnus

Enjoy and thanks for the link.

When should those of us who bought the new disc but have not received it begin to complain?
