I'm genuinely interested to hear about differences, so long as I can see past all the hyperbole, although I have no interest in upgrading myself. I have an Akurate DS and a Dynamiked analogue Exotik, and I think they're very good, if a fair way from Klimax level.

Hi guys - my uptime is only a little better really - I've just learned to live with it. I have a spare battery and just make sure the spare is always charged. I checked the meta-layer crawler info and stopped that but it didn't seem to make much difference. I'd also noticed that problem with Leia wh...

I was going for the update. I was prompted to update my Linn config first. I did so and wanted to go to 3.1.25 but now the updates are no longer listed under the update tab???? Any suggestions on what I did wrong? Should I have updated to 3.1.25 before updating the Linn config app? If so, can anyon...

Bypassing a pre using Majik DS
I appreciate most folk here will have gone for the Akurate or Klimax DS boxes if they've yet made the move to streamed music, but I just thought I'd mention here (as I have on the Linn forum) that I've just tried enabling the internal volume control in my Majik DS and bypassing my Exotik to go strai...

Well, I splashed out a couple of weeks back for a second set of Skeets (pity you can't buy just four!) and put four beneath my Isoblue rack. Initially, I was extremely underwhelmed - the life seemed to have dropped from the music, making it sound comparatively dull and out-of-tune, but within a coup...

I've been using Skeets under my Espeks on a carpeted, suspended floor, for many months now, and they're a definite improvement. I need to lower the spikes as they do stand quite a way above the carpet; I've not adjusted them since buying the Skeets. Plus, as has already been noted, they do cause the...

I will sort some other small issues out next week and do a proper 0.1-14 release containing this patch afterwards. ...done. A new version 0.1-14 without the bug Wolfie has found and with an optimized (regarding time & memory) playlist saving algorithm is available now. Known issues: It seems that l...

...and sorted by the ever resourceful Axel! It was due to one album having a title that was 176 characters long - it was classical, and EAC (with freedb) had titled it with the full names of each composer, the full titles of each piece on the CD, the orchestra, orchestra leader and all the soloists!...

Sorry guys - me being stupid. Too many late night calls to work and not enough sleep! After trying "album", Leia apears to crash and the log contains this:- Leia DS 0.1 (Aug 14 2008 21:16:02) GTK 2.10.12 GLIB 2.12.12 LANG = en_GB -> 0 *** service_url(): "urn:linn-co-uk:serviceId:Preamp" not found! *...

The albums have all been ripped from my CDs - initially I was experimenting with tag settings but I don't think there's anything untoward there. I can list tracks, artists & genres ok from that screen, and I can list by album if I use Mediastreamer, it's just the album listing with Leia that seems t...

Hi Axel - I've installed the new version and it's definitely an improvement - Leia now 'sees' both my DS and the media server every time I start it, which wasn't the case with the last version. I know it's an early release, but I have one small problem - if I double-tap 'album' from the top screen t...

It's even written into the Naim manuals that the use of NACA4 or NACA5 is mandatory - otherwise you run the risk of the amplifiers oscillating and literally blowing up! Not sure that is correct. (or I'm a lucky guy :mrgreen: ) As I wrote, I used Naim amps with both Naim and Linn cables and despite ...

Hi Axel - I've noticed a peculiarity using Leia DS. I'm using a Majik DS, but I got the same thing with the Sneaky Music DS I had before that; if the DS has not been used for some hours, and I run up Leia DS, nine times out of ten it'll either not see the DS, or see neither the DS nor the media serv...

Upps, this shouldn't happen, if version 0.1-12 can't find a DS, it should issue an error message but not crash. Can you reproduce this error? BTW: My WLAN router is about 15m away. I don't think that this should be a problem. Panic over - I must have selected the Windows server at the time, because...
