Euphony OS w/Stylus player setup and issues thread

[davide256]

My playback chain has been completely up ended

 

before on v3  : NUC 11TNHi3 Stylus server to UP Atom PC STylus endpoint

after      UP Atom PC as Stylus server

 

just harmonically more correct. less irritants.

 

Getting even better results tonight  using UPNP from v4 Stylus server to Oppo 103 as coax out source but playback is flaky with the Oppo for track advance. end of track cut off

Figured out whats happening with UPNP to the Oppo; track advance is being triggered by duration of the prior track. Just watched 4 tracks prematurely advance when track length for prior track was reached, 5th track played fully because prior track was longer but that stopped next track advance. Sounds like somethings foobar with how Stylus is linking track length to track in UPNP session.

Solved the play problem by updating the 609 version, I don't remember if an intel optane M10 16gb is enough for Euphony thanks

  Thanks! And thanks for putting up with BETA shortcomings...

Still a problem at my end. Anyone else using UPNP endpoint with Stylus server, if so do you see this behavior?

 

When replace/add album, 2nd track doesn't buffer, is skipped when you click "buffer queue to RAM", remaining tracks are buffered. I think this is the root

of my track truncation problem but would like to know if its happening for others or they are able to use problem free with UPNP.

 

Tempted at this point to download/burn a newer image just in case something was a problem with the original

image  files I downloaded  (20220527), now updated to 20226012. If others are working fine I will try this next.

I'm trying to use Euphony v4 with roon core on an AMD 4700s Kit with 16gb ddr6 RAM.

Both the Euphony web app and roon are super laggy.

Any one using the same kit or knows why this would happen?

Did you prescribe the experimental property of the CPU? If so show your options

[davide256]

Had a newer blue ray player, Sony XBP-700. No great shakes for UPNP audio quality out  but it works properly with Stylus server, tracks finish play and advance to next.

So it appears that my issue is specific to Oppo blue ray player

When formatting a USB stick from a MacMini on a different format prior to flash the Euphony V4 image matters ?:

 

MS-DOS FAT(32)

EX-FAT

extFS-2

extFS-3

extFS-4

@mikicasellas I had issues using my Mac Pro with Balena Etcher. My Samsung USB Thumb drive came pre formatted with the EX-FAT File System.

Zeljko suggested I use Rufus; the only thing is Rufus is Windows only. I used my Windows Laptop and all good. Zeljko indicated most of the Image issues were stemming from using Balena Etcher. I don’t think changing the format would matter; maybe do a more thorough initialization of the drive.

Good Luck!

No prob….By the way I’m using a Custom HDPlex Server for Euphony; not the Mac Pro or my Windows Laptop. Just used them for the image.

[mikicasellas]

Where are you guys downloading the updated images, are you asking for those updates every time Zeljko launches a new one ?

Hi,

Here are the Screenshots.

Even changing a track on Roon takes 20-30 seconds. Everything is just running very slow.

Hi. You have everything right ... I had the symptoms you described when I switched to Roon Core and forgot to change settings from 0 style 1-2 gstp 3-5 on 0 Roon 1-5

I've tried all settings.. nothing seems to be working.

The euphony web app is slow too.. If I go from one page to the other it will give me the blue strip with Euphony Offline momentarily before changing.
Seems to be a compatibility issue with the Motherboard/CPU.

[novtom]

Have similar problem - blue strip Euphony is Offline. If I am playing, it works, after last song about 2-20 minutes it goes offline, sometimes I do noting, sometimes it is between changing. Only hard reset helps

Update to the problem I was facing:

I tried V3 on another drive and both Euphony and Roon were super fast without any issues.
So I burned V4 on the same pen drive and the problem seems to have been sorted.

 

The earlier V4 pen drive was a 64GB USB 3.2 drive whereas the one I am now using which is working well is a 16GB USB 2.0 drive.

 

Maybe those facing an issue can try a different pendrive.

apart from the many underperformed features ... what do you think is the biggest sound benefit of the V4 over the V3?

I think the best way to test is as close as possible to the working environment. Therefore, I always write the image on and test the m.2 disk.

For me it’s cleaner, less “euphonic” exaggeration. Subliminal cues that persuade of a lifelike performance are more present

[msb1]

Does anyone know how to access Roon logs on Euphony?

You folks make me so comfortable just waiting for the official release. 
Gosh.

Same.   Will wait for GA V4 ;-)

[davide256]

Yea! Zelijko got my Oppo 103 working for UPNP, apparently it reports wrong track duration/progress
