Has anyone figured out how to actually swap the channels now that the MCU supports it???

Credit to Ratbert over at Roonlabs forum but I haven't gotten mine as they are on the way.

 

To set Master as Left Channel,

1 In PC source press the space between source select and volume down icon 5 times
2. Press volume up icon once
3. Press A, the blinking icon will swap from C to D.
4. Press B to confirm and exit.

Repeating the above process will swap the channels back again.

don't know if this is a good place to ask this but as my ls50w is on the way so I am looking at stands that should help as this will be my first 2ch speaker system other than the headphone setup I have.

 

Quick googling led me to Atacma Nexus series floor stand as linked below.

and 

 

IsoAcoustics Aperta series for table stand.

What would one recommend and tips for choosing the "most appropriate budget" one? 

 

Thanks for helping an newbie in advance.

Hi Camott,

 

I may try both to see which I like the best in terms of placement.  Thanks for the floor stand recommendation.

I'm using the 36" version of these.  they might be too tall for some people but I like that they have sonic isolation pads built in and they look great.  It's my 3rd and I think final set of stands for these speakers :-)

36".. that is tall for me but thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks. 

This might be the issue i was having;

MCU v2.4.0
• Fixed low voltage protection issue causing system or slave error

This may be the fix for the buzzing noise?  If so, sweet.

The buzzing noise I had on my first set seemed like a physical issue like something failed.  But I can't say for sure.

The 2nd set I had an issue where the left speaker tried to connect over and over again while loudly clicking.  I had to do a bunch of restarts to get it to work.  I think the bug fix might be for the second issue because the left speaker seemed to not be able to establish a connection.

Any update will be an improvement for sure.

 

Will try when back home today.  Can't wait.  Everytime that music was paused from Foobar2000, it will have loud buzzing noise when resume for sure at current state.   I have no problem streaming and pausing to PS Audio Dac.  Hope to see if this fix it.

I had couple issue before the latest update and so far so good after the update.

 

Be sure to use a credit card that gives you extra warranty for peace of mind.

I've just bought a pair of white LS50 Wireless speakers with the new performance stands and the combination looks stunning. I've filled the middle compartment and  front one of the stands with Atacama Atabites, and they are sitting on Atacama shoes. The speakers are still very much running in and it is too early to judge the sound, but there was certainly a significant jump in quality when I added the Atabites, and I would recommend the combination - you need just over three tubs to fill the stands.

 

Three tubs of 7.5Kg each?

 

was looking at the Performance stand as well but how full did you filled in each stand?

 

Btw, anyone knows where to get some discount on the stand,  please PM me.
