Correct Firmware for NAC-N 272?

Posted by: DUPREE on 13 May 2015

Got my NAC-272 yesterday - it's so far awesome, was very easy to setup, i'm still getting it settled into my system. Question I have is that it is running firmware version 4.02, on the site there is a 4.1 but it only lists the 172 not the 272. Am I supposed to update to this version or is 4.02 the correct version for the 272.

I think the format is causing a bit of confusion here. Sometimes 4.1 is written as 4.01....and you wouldn't want to downgrade!

I would ask support before downloading the new firmware, just to be sure you do not download a wrong firmware, your device may not like that at all.

If marketing want to call it 4.1 then the product should display 4.1. Probably just a simple change to a print format specifier in the firmware would fix it.

My dealer's 272 which I have on loan shows on the display:

Setup / Factory Setttings  /  System Settings: Version 4.2.00 (parameter 31/40)

However my app shows under settings "Uniti version" 4.02.000

 

From this it seems that 4.02 = 4.2 (as ChrisSU also suggests) and that the numbering on display and app is inconsistent.

 

So I guess that 4.01 = 4.1 and that you actually have the latest firmware.

Correct.  The 272 is running 4.2 or, as displayed in some locations, 4.02.

272's have a more advanced firmware than the other units (DSD, DSP Software...)

We are in beta test of this same firmware for other streamers.

 

So do not try to update your 272, it won t accept to do it anyway.
