Nope, the latest release is just a different directory: Beta: https://products.linn.co.uk/VersionInfo/Downloads/Beta/ Release: https://products.linn.co.uk/VersionInfo/Downloads/Releases/ You'll notice there's no Selekt firmware in there. There may be. All the new ones are in the form Fw nnn _4.64.2...

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.

What I have found is as follows. Let's say I have two Konfig configurations: Konfig 1 - a configuration never imported to the cloud Konfig 2 - a configuration that has been imported to the cloud The steps I followed were: 1) Use Konfig to load and apply Konfig 1. Play music; 2) Use the cloud to app...

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.

Similar initial experience here (MDSM + M140s placed asymmetrically in an irregular room). Based on a very quick try-out, the Optimisation Preference slider seems to be quite powerful. A modest slide to the right put quite a lot of bass back in for me. I suspect all it is doing is increasing gain o...

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.

@John R B: the Save option in SO is related only to the current Konfig profile it is showing. It seems SO v2 is entirely invisible to Konfig. I don't know how they managed it, but apparently it somehow greys out the "Create from system" option when the system has a v2 optimisation applied. That may...

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.

I assume you can switch back to SO in Konfig, using your old filters (so no one way street for now, at least as long as a new Konfig version stops this)? Yes you can load a SO V1 profile using Konfig. You can also load the current profile to the cloud using the web interface. So I loaded my SO V1 p...

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.

I had a reply that my problem ticket (SO not calculating) was being looked into by Linn support. Thought I'd give it another go today and it works. As stated you can go back to SO V1 profiles either using Konfig or the new web interface if you have loaded them in. You cannot Create from System a V2 ...

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.

I updated my software last night so I've got the pins. I can't see any use for these within Kazoo, other than perhaps assigning a pin to a specific radio station. So I could have a Radio Paradise pin, instead of having to go to all the trouble of selecting the Radio input AND THEN having to select ...

Re: Linn forum down?

iOS Kazoo 4.13.15, which supports Pins, has been officially released today (18 hours ago). A few hours later iOS Kazoo beta 4.13.18 has become available, fixing "a bug which could cause the DS to select wrong source when playing a pin"… I’ve installed Konfig 4.36.109 today and as expected It doesn’...

Re: Linn forum down?

Davaar 4.64.238 is now production and includes Pins. Konfig 4.36.109 is now production and may include new SO. I haven't loaded this up yet as sunbeamgls has posted that the new SO doesn't have custom filters, so a bit reluctant right now to update. Has anybody else updated to the new Konfig - does ...

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.

Linn has also said that pins would work with all DS/DSMs, the only advantages the Selekt DSM has here are the six buttons on the unit and the replication of them on the coming remote. (Although there is no reason to believe that you couldn't use the Selekt remote with other Linn units.) Linn has co...

Re: Linn announcements 9/2018, Selekt, etc.

Don’t be too excited about Pins. I’m on Davaar and iOS Kazoo beta, hence it’s already available to me. In its current implementation you’re only able to set Pins for content on Qobuz/Tidal, radio stations and physical DSM inputs. But right now it isn’t possible to - assign a pin to anything located...

Does anyone know when the Selekt is coming to market? With Pins being a selling point, and with hardware buttons, Davaar 64 and Kazoo will need releasing first wouldn't they? I talked to my dealer today and he said they begin shipping in about one week. Thanks. So we should expect Pins any time soo...

You can download the 3.21 firmware from Melco's website. Unzip it and place the .bin file on a USB thumb drive, plug it in the Melco and update from that.
