Sonore Streamers

[Confused]

They should have all been identical- but I know quite a few people (myself included) had problems rebooting for example - where it wouldn't come back on. For others it was fine. I'm guessing they had more than one batch.

I can well imagine that there may be some minor differences between batches, components from different suppliers that vary in specification and so on.  However, this would impact performance very fractionally at the margins, and does not explain why some have boot issues, some will not load firmware that most will.  Very puzzling.  The fact that the new firmware will load on one mR but not another suggests that there is a more fundamental difference than a minor variation in resistors or something.  Anyway, I am happy to wait and see what Sonore advise.

Oddly enough, I kind of felt that my mR a 'good one'.  When testing the Aqvox switch against a standard switch I was constantly removing the network connection to the mR, then reinstating via a different switch.  This was a case of pause music on the iPad, swap the Ethernet cables, press play and everything worked.
