Munich 2018

+1 from me. This excellent forum is the only useful source of information, and I have learned not to believe any ‘information’ that comes from these ‘meet the customer’ sessions.

I’ve been doing the beta, been sending in reports by email, they’ve responded by email several times asking more about specific issues. I seem to remember Mathieu in France and the chap in London calling me a few times. 

I’m pleased they did Spotify first, my kids love it and now understand the pleasure of Hifi, it used to be dad’s thing. Now they blast away. 

I have emailed a few times politely asking when Qobuz will be onboard, it was promised at the outset. I don’t expect replies or for them to send me their business plan or stategic forecast. I do know they are listening, collating all the error reports and making progress. They told me most beta testers are very constructive and helpful. I’m happy as it’s a great product, gives me great pleasure and will only get better.

Maybe sympathy is not the right word to use, what I meant was that it is understandable that they struggle on the topic of communication - but true, they should have sorted this out over the years.

I'm newish to Dev, December 2016. Bought a 250 ex-demo and bought the Pro upgrade. 

Used it via usb with an Aries and now that uPnP works 100% I use that. (Also use phono and optical.) My kids would not use it via Aries, but love it now they can cast from Spotify. My elder son has always been happy to use my record player.

So I've always enjoyed it by making use of the bits that work 100%, I always knew it was a work in progress. 

Naim used third party developers for their ripper/streamer. It had a SQL fault that sometimes required a factory restore. They are now in-house. Works both ways.
