  1. I have some good news about the HD DAC: The firmware has got an update in March (4.6.509530.45 / 20230302) and it doesn’t brick the device anymore, at least with the unit under review. The 4stream app received as well an overhaul (3.1.18.230210) in February, and they included the 5Ghz network toggle that was missing and which was heavily criticized. Thumbs up for that! The app itself still has a search engine on valium, but the app throughput i.e. like Radio Paradise works quick and without hick-up. Playing from local sources works without problems in the ultra-fast WIIM app. I would consider using 4stream only for the setup. Setup works now with both, Ethernet and Wi-Fi, however using a double-push of the power button to enter the WIFI set-up mode has now found its way into the FAQ, which seems to be quite helpful. Instruction: When your Wi-Fi light is blinking to indicate the Wi-Fi connection is ready, it doesn’t connect (for setup) before you haven’t double pressed the power/select button. Done that, it’s the typical WIIM breeze setup. I would connect via Wi-Fi only in case you are not happy with a Cat 5/6 cable tailing from the light little box. Playing local files from the phone worked flawless up to the proposed 24-bit/192kHz. Using DLNA/UPNP run into quality issues for both, with fix/wireless, at bandwidth higher than 24-bit/96kHz. Overall this is a much better development for the device than I had expected when I wrote my rant pointing out the flaws. Given this development I can at least recommend the unit for DIY projects. Kudos to Arylic product engineering not giving up on that little device. on a sidenote ... WIIM PRO PLUS available in the US for command since Monday, August 5th. Don’t forget to look at the all new WIIM Pro plus, which offers a more complete package with a more recent and powerful Linkplay module in combination with a AKM4493SEQ DAC Chip. Here’s a quote from te WIIM forum “Better ADC + Better DAC + OPAMP Simple system – direct to your AMP or powered speaker without external DAC Upgraded DAC with OP AMP, redesigned power circuits and upgraded ADC that can do up to 24-bit/192 kHz. Audio quality comparable with WiiM Pro connected to the external DAC (up to $500 price?) Save the external DAC and cable cost Some low-end DACs don’t handle the clock, variable sample rate/bit depth properly, or don’t support up to 24-bit/192kHz digital input SNR: 120 dB (A-wt) THD+N (1 kHz): 0.0004% (-108 dB) for 44.1k to 192k FR curve: +/- 0.1 dB It features a new generation AKM 4493SEQ premium DAC that is able to achieve a leading level of low distortion and wide dynamic range thanks to AKM’s Velvet Sound Technology.”
  2. Hi all, just received an mail from OKTO RESEARCH about the availability of the newest firmware 1.5 for the DAC 8 PRO today. To be honest, it is likely not as straigtforward as with simple ESS9038q2m DAC chips (did that with SONCOZ and Allo Rev before) and as well with SMSL (bit more complicated). I did not update yet, but read through the information and - oh boy - some of us will certainly loose their nerves with that. However, I cannot blame Pavel - I think he did his best to avoid owners sending their DAC 8 Pro back to Prague for something they might do at home, in case they need to. As I am convinced that we together as the "crowd" can support other owners during and after the upgrade process, I have started this thread and I am counting on fellow owners to chime in when experiences are going sideways. The new firmware is called 1.5. OKTO provides new ASIO drivers with it. Here is the information I have receieved by mail from them, avilable also under this link okto research dac8 PRO v1.5 firmware release announcement Dear dac8 PRO owners, we hope that our product has been enhancing your listening experiences, enriching your favorite music, and inspiring a journey of musical discovery. We are pleased to announce the release of the long-awaited v1.5 firmware version. This update addresses known bugs, enables compatibility with a newly released custom Okto Research ASIO driver for Windows, and introduces several new features. This update employs our custom USB update mechanism with packages delivered as executable files for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. For each operating system, we have created comprehensive, step-by-step installation guides. You can access the release note which includes these guides and the download link by clicking the button below: v1.5 firmware release note It's important to note that Windows users may encounter small inconvenience during the firmware update process. We've found that the generic USB library included in Windows, which our update utility relies on, may cause issues due to inadequate timeout during a specific phase of the update process. This behavior can vary depending on the Windows build version, among other factors. As a solution, we offer an alternative update method that uses a bootable Linux Mint USB stick and is independent of the operating system. Another issue concerns a bug found in units with the earliest firmware versions from 2020, which prevents a successful update regardless of the operating system used. Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have an alternative method to resolve this. If your unit is affected, please contact us to request a hardware programming tool that can be connected to the dac8 PRO's digital input board, bypassing the bug. That will be provided at no cost, however we may ask you to forward it to another user in your country after your successful update, with us taking care of any associated shipping expenses. We would like to stress that this bug poses no risk of damaging or 'bricking' the unit; it merely prevents the update from being installed successfully. Firmware version 1.5 brings compatibility with a more user-friendly update method featuring a graphical user interface. We are dedicated to enhancing our products through ongoing updates, and we strive to bring more value to our customers, regardless of when they made their purchase or whether they are original or second-hand owners. In v1.5, we have also implemented a substantial modification to the USB descriptors of the dac8 PRO, enabling 2 and 6 (or 5.1) channel DSD playback on Linux (using MPD/ALSA). This is important not only for Linux users, but also for anyone using a Linux-based streamer. Previously, only 8-channel DSD playback was possible because the unit only exposed an 8-channel DSD configuration. While Windows and MacOS can upconvert the number of DSD channels, Linux, unfortunately, cannot. Our novel approach involves adding separate configurations for 2 and 6 channels into the descriptors, with the resulting number of 6 configurations (or altsets) compared to the conventional 4 (with first 3 being PCM configurations). We have tested this extensively and haven't found any side effects. However, if you experience any unusual behaviour, please let us know. There's no urgency to install the update if you're not facing any issues. Nonetheless, we recommend doing so as future firmware versions will employ the newly introduced GUI-based update process. Thank you for your patience in awaiting this update and for your continued support. We value your feedback and look forward to bringing you even more exciting updates in the future. A follow-up with the Okto Research 2023 newsletter, detailing our future plans, will be coming shortly. Until then, happy listening!

It offers a workaround (in case your Windows version doesn't support the initial upgrade strategy) via a bootable LINUX MINT USB stick (you need to burn that image via Balena Etcher). For IOS and LINUX it does look kind of better ...) I have pfd-printed the guides and downloaded all files linked in the setup release note. and attached as a Zip, except of the LINUX MINT iso file which you may acquire through this link here is the installation guide page Windows procodere: 1.) Step 1 will be to download and run the Zadig utility (deinstall your DIYINHK Asio driver first and restart you audio PC) according to the guide Zip File below 2.) Download the software provided by OKTO ( FW Update / Drivers) - all according to the guide Octo research FW1.5.zip includes all files and docs necessary according to the guide 3) In case it fails - continue with "“Any operating system (using bootable Linux Mint USB stick)” Create Linux USB stick.zip includes Balena Etcher and Guide for creating the boot media. Please download Linux Mint from the link above! So much for the first post! A+ Tom
  3. Recently there's been firmware update 18120R (https://esupport.sony.com/US/p/swu-download.pl?mdl=HAPZ1ES&upd_id=11059&os_group_id=29) which brings the following improvements over version 18033R:- Improves playback quality for the USB digital output function.- Improves Network connections with HDD Audio Remote and HAP Music Transfer applications.- Improves communication security. HOWEVER - I'm facing an issue with the new firmware version 18120R. It seems that they added support for USB 1.0 as my Wadia 151 finally plays via USB even without conversion from USB>SPDIF, but it plays extremely silent !!! Has anyone experienced it? To get normal/standard volume level i need to max wadia out. Unbelievable, they managed to fix USB downwards compatibility but completely broke the volume level. It stays the same low level even after conversion from USB>SPDIF so it's definitely the output level of Sony's USB output. Can anyone advise how to downgrade the firmware (e.g. to the previous version 18033R)? Thanks for any suggestions
  4. I posted this problem on Mac forum but didn't receive a solution and hope someone here might be able to help. It's been a while since I played music from my iPhone to my Bose stereo using Airplay. ( I have an Airport Express plugged into the Bose.) The interface on Music on my iPhone is new and different with the newest iPhone update and I can't find the icon to change it from playing music on the iPhone to "Diane's Airplay" which will be the Bose. I've looked in Music app and Settings under Music and the pull up on the iPhone. Wifi is ON on my iPhone. When I look at the pull up from the bottom of the phone I have a couple of choices: Airplay Mirroring with the the familiar icon but when I choose it the iPhone begins looking for my Apple TV. I don't have Apple TV. The other choice is "Airdrop Receiving Off". My old original iPad can still use Airplay to play music to my Bose and my MacBook Pro (Sierra) also works fine using Airplay. Any suggestions? I may have missed something obvious. I really wish things didn't change when I wasn't looking!! Thanks so much. Diane
  5. I was excited for 2.6 and I've been checking every other day for over 2 months since its announcement but it's seems like the update has gone off the boil. At first MQA decoding was coming, now probably not. Is there an ETA or rough timeframe for SonicOrbiter OS 2.6 release? Is there a definite answer on MQA decoding being included? Cheers Pete
  6. As shown below. Don't know why terminated.
