to firmware upgrade or not, that is the dilemma

Once again my Node2 starts nagging me about an available upgrade for the firmware.

Before giving the green light, I wanted to check what this upgrade is about.

But the release notes only mention " improvement of the UI" (apart from the other items), so I would really want to know which improvement we are talking about. (not that I don't trust the guys @bluesound)

Therefore, would it please be possible to elaborate somewhat more about what the improvement for the UI is doing in the firmware and what is being improved in the UI, because the latest controller for Windows is, as far as I can see, identical to the previous version.

    Hi Alain

    Continued progress on our server-driven UI design allows for faster and more reliable Player/App communication along with a more unified 4.x design in some of our lower-level menus and screens that had yet to be converted.

    I too would like to know what the changes are. Thanks

    Judging from the complaints about Dirac issues with this update, I'm going to hold off. It's unfortunate that many developers treat customers as beta testers.

    Hi all,

    The issue with Dirac has been resolved. A new firmware update was released yesterday afternoon to address this issue.

    We highly recommend keeping your Bluesound / NAD / PSB / and other BluOS players up-to-date for the best experience.

    Thanks for #LivingHiFI

    Hey Tony, thank you for the clarification. Faster and better comms are certainly a major improvement.

    As for the UI integration, I will be looking at the screens to find out what has changed.

    I still think a few extra lines of text in the release paper would be helpful for us, the users.

    I can say that in the iPadOS, the extremely narrow volume slider is gone and has been replaced by the full-width V3 version with the toggle between volume and play-pause displays.

    I can also say that there are loads of bugs, but I'll list them in a separate post.
