Thanks,
have you installed it already? I'll have to wait till early this afternoon...

 

I don't have any EverSolo device.

 

Ooo, so you are just the "Mr. Good Guy", mirroring the download link of the update for us when Eversolo fails at it...?

 

Upgraded my Z8 just now.
No idea what the system stability updates are (but welcomed).
4 new VU Meter modes:

 

Cool.
Have you seen if, perhaps, they have also removed the raibow reflex/artwork that can be seen in the background of the menus?

Still a couple of hours to wait before I can update mine... ;-)

 

No - the rest seems unchanged on quick inspection.

 

I have to admit that I might have hoped for a little more, I had hoped that the ugly color spots would go away, but unfortunately they are still there now, and fixed volume was also something I had hoped for
But we got 4 VU meters in Mono, as far as I know it's a stereo dac, it actually looks a bit stupid

Well, it's still a super dac that I love to listen to, because the analog part with 8*TI OPA1612 op-amp in shunt compensation is the best analog part in all Zidoo's products

 

Totally disappointed. The mono VUs are, IMO, ugly at best. And the missed fixed volume out, and volume memory for each input only add to the sadness of this ordinary Tuesday evening in the oldest town of the Balcan Peninsula (but probably of all Europe)

 

Can only confirm that you are right, here you go and wait for a new firmware update to finally arrive, and then you only get 4 VU meters in mono, which just look stupid
The ugly color spots are still there, no fixed volume option, no tweaking of the user menu...just pure disappointment !!!

 

Not even to say, that the last update took place in april last year IIRC...

 

If it 'aint broke then don't fix it - I think I'll leave things for now and wait to see if anything further develops

 

aggreed, this update looks like a bad joke.

 

Although not necessarily bad, a joke nonetheless.

 

The website still shows v.1.0.0.52 as the "official" release. Maybe .56 is an interim release not meant for general deployment? We should probably wait to see what final version will be available on the website.

 

TTYTT there is also another version, prior to this one, still hidden on the usual sites: 1.0.0.54, of which I got knowledge by Archimago (of Goldensound) when he made the review of the Z8. I downloaded it, but never installed, as was told probably by "mirror" to wait for an official statement. It's available here, as you can see from the review: https://music.eversolo.com/dac/ota/v1.0.0.54/EVERSOLODAC.PKG

Hi,

I’m on v1.0.0.52 but having trouble with the update and hoping for some direction. I have a FAT32 USB stick. I dl’d the pkg file on my Mac and moved it to the USB drive (It is the only item on the USB) When I attempt to update firmware I get this message:

“U disk does not have upgrade files”
