Gustard DAC-R26 Discreet R2R Streamer/Renderer

Can anyone post a complete update procedure for the R26?
I have been running the original firmware it came with for over 2 years with LAN without issue.
Is it worth me upgrading or just leave it as is?

Thanks,

Thatā€™s stupid

Stupid suggests they chose that option. In todayā€™s bolt on engineering environment people donā€™t look that far into how their gear works unless they have prior experience. This was Gustards first real go at the combined DAC streamer. Expect future models to be better.

I am not a Linux user so I would be glad to get a dowload for a firmware that allows Roon, Spotify and Tidal connect.
Is there a dowload link for this?
Cheers

I got the firmware upgrade from here

In the UK i used the Overseas version

I can only say that this works fine with Roon. I havenā€™t tried Spotify.

Hi Alex,
this is the standard Firmware without Tidal Connect or Spotify connect.
And yes works with roon without any issues.
Cheers
