4.1 anymore issues?

Posted by: vokey on 25 March 2015

I'm considering upgrading my firmware(currently running 3.22) on my NDX/ndac but am mindful that some had issues with the digital out after upgrading.

 

Appreciate your feedback.

Installed 4.1 on my NDX and UQ2 on the day it was available for download. Not a single problem.

Bear in mind that Naim have not had any reason to recall the patch.

One user on the forum had a problem but Naim support stepped in as it was an isolated issue.

I've had no problems either. If you do it, you won't be up to date for long, there's another update due out shortly.

Just one quick point. Maybe stating the obvious but a golden rule is generally "if it ain't broke don't fix it."

Always read the release notes to see whether you need the upgrade to provide functionality you want of fix a problem you actually experience.

4.1 includes Spotify and a change to the code in the DAC. From memory, the latter only applied to to the UQ2 or NDX (I don't remember which. One of them displayed an additional "Updating DAC" message on the display).

The new patch coming soon adds DSD playback support.

Thanks everyone.

 

I recalled Simon in Suffolk had issues after the update, he was using NDX/Hugo combo.

I would leave it for a few more days as the next release will include DSD as well as (hopefully) the fix for the digi-out issue.

Hi - the issue is with SPDIF sending. If the cue list exhausts - ie an album completes - no SPDIF is sent on subsequent streaming unless media with a different sample rate is selected or the 'stop' and 'start' is pressed on the remote control.

This issue should be fixed in the forthcoming new firmware- and is not currently a show stopper anyway as the work around is straightforward

Isn't there currently an issue with the first couple of seconds of the first track selected not playing. I'm certainly getting it and I'm sure I've seen others on here mention it ?

just moved over from Twonkey to Asset - advised to upgrade firmware on NAS after loading -

 

No issues, I certainly think Asset is better

Its fixed in the beta (next due release)

-  to qualify that - fixed in my system with NDX & Synology with native UPnP server
