Description of Issue
Hello!
In the Roon app among devices the Roon Ready Bricasti M5 - does not appear.
Previously, I had to turn Bricasti M5 on/off many times for Roon to find it.
But now this trick no longer works: Roon does not see the Bricasti M5 at all
thanks for the answer!
I turned everything off and separately from 10 seconds to 1 hour - it did not help.
As for updating the firmware: I have not found information anywhere that this is possible. Do you have experience or do you know where to learn more about this issue?
Do you use a switch or all devices are on the router. Maybe are some settings .What I see in other M5 threads are networking problems, one thread with same problem as yours had to get another swich.
Does M5 have an app?
No experience with this device, but firmware has been an issue for other devices. Having said that, I couldnβt see any resources for firmware on the Bricasti website so it may not be an option here.
The firmware update can be done via PC connected to the same network as the M5. I too had a problem like you have with my M5 when I first had it in the first few months after itβs release, but only intermittently.
My dealer emailed Bricasti in my behalf, and they emailed me a newer firmware. I flashed it, but it did not do much.
After some communications with my dealer, and since I did not want to send my unit to the US since I donβt live in the US, my dealer obtained for me a new network board directly from Bricasti. The board holds a microSD card. The dealer let me do the replacement myself since I donβt live in the same city as he does, so I did that.
With the new network board, the problems I had disappeared. I did not know for sure if my problem was fixed due to the microSD card or the board itself, or maybe it was just a very early manufacturing glitch. I bought the unit the month it was announced. But, it has been trouble free ever since.
But one thing you could check is access the M5 web UI. The address is 192.168.x.x:8080. Can you access it?
If you could access it, you still have a better chance of doing a firmware upgrade if that is really necessary. Mine has a firmware 1.2 and I am sure it is very old but I donβt think it matters.
The cheapest thing you can try is just try another Ethernet cable. Sometimes, many problems arise from a faulty Ethernet cable. I hoped you give it a try if you have not already.
thanks for the advice
I turned on the Bricasti M5, and in parallel turned on the Naim Muso 2 as a Roon ready device. So, to my surprise, the quickly installed Audirvana and JRiver immediately found Naim Muso, and did not see the Bricasti M5. Roon similarly sees Naim Muso and does not see Bricasti M5. Therefore, I conclude that the problem is in the Bricasti M5.
I purchased it second-hand, so contacting the service will be problematic. Well, it behaves strangely: everything works, it turns on, it just abruptly ceased to be defined by programs as an output device β¦ wow
One idea is to try and connect M5 directly to your core. I did that once with Zen Stream. I just bought one usb c to Ethernet dongle and had that on my core machine connecting to the router. And the streamer connected directly to the ethernet port. If you have such a dongle and want to try:
I think it would not simplify things unless there is a problem with the Ethernet adapter of the NUC. From the look of his symptoms, I doubt thatβs the case.
