FW 3.22 fixed the buffer drop issue on 320kbps iRadio

Great !!! Fixed the iRadio 320kbps buffer drop issue on wire connection.
Not so great!!!
I have installed FW3.22 and things work well BUT any iRadio 320 kbps stream is totally unplayable as the buffer is constantly depleted within a few seconds. 192 kbps is OK - 320 kbps STILL DOES NOT WORK.
I don't understand why but there may be a regional factor to this. I'm in New Zealand and I seem to recall others down here have had similar issues. I've tried all the 320 streams in the Naim favourites and they all suffer from this bug.
I couldn't even upgrade..neither with my mac nor pc....sorry, this really s*#$%c
Dear Naim- Please have a look at Linn how they do it: just klick "upgrade" and done!
OK, I am now a little confused??? I tried wireless just as an experiment and no buffer dropouts!
What is even more bizarre is I switched back to a wired connection and now the buffer slowly (slowly!) fills up and there are not dropouts any more.
I have no idea why but it seems to now be OK - will update later...
Scratch that, it's back to constantly emptying again :-(
Just upgraded both Qute's (1st gen)...from a laptop, with USB to RS232 adapter...worked first time, no issues as yet.....
I don't have any issues with buffer drop off on 320kbps before or after update (unitiqute2)
Dear Folks,
Please ignore my message, the units drop buffer again.
