I was playing music while it was scanning after the upgrade, and suddenly the sound got distorted. It was on ALL players. Both my Transporters and 3 duets. In my living room the TV runs through my Tact>digital loop Transporter. Even soundquality from TV sounded worse and distorted. So it seems the upgrade has influenced the DAC in some way. But that goes for the duets too. But after installing 7.9.1 am back to normal again.

Hi I see we are both ReadyNas Ultra II users (and Danes?). >From your signature it looks like you are primarily a Tidal user. But if you by any change should have a Spotify account too, are there anything that looks familiar in the problems I'm experiencing with Spotify after upgrading to LMS79x on my ReadyNas Ultra II. That is slow (or not working) menus/lists in Spotify and maybe also occasional connection/authorization problems?: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107155-Problems-with-LMS79x-and-Spotify-on-ReadyNAS-Ultra-2-1-3 Are Tidal the way to go if I get tired of Spotify problems on LMS?
