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 :-(

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.
