Sigh. I don’t know whether to laugh at the irony of the statement or just shake my head.

What is it please eARC ?

Oh yes it is HDMI eArc

If we are currently on the EA version, would it be safer to roll back to the last official release before installing this? I seem to recall in the past people having bricked their devices on release installations, but I can’t seem to find the details as to whether it was released to running EA versions.

When selecting the roll-back from EA, I was only presented the new version.

The selection is called “roll back” as that is usually what you are doing, but in reality you are just changing from the Beta release channel to the Production release channel with this toggle.

If you’re currently using an Early Access version, we recommend rolling back to the latest official release version before installing this app, just to be safe.

Thanks, but given what I’ve been reading about this official release, I think I’ll wait until 5.9.1 (or whatever) comes out.

It did not give me the option. It rolled back to 5.9 from EA. And I seem to be the only one not having problems with Qobuz Connect. So Im good over here.

While there are issues with the new upgrade in the Rose software, it represents a major improvement. Many of the issues which have been identified on this board have been addressed. I am particularly impressed with the improvements to Playlists.
Thank you Rose Team!

Can you please elaborate on what improvements were done regarding playlists (thanks)

I just installed this new release on my 150b today. The cover art from Roon is still wrong or doesn’t show up at all. I just played several selections from a playlist in Roon and the cover art is blank. Still some issues to be fixed?

Joyofmvid,

Sorry for the late response. I have been traveling.
The improvements I see in Playlist are its elevation to the same status and ability to search as other lists, specifically the ability to search playlists alphabetically and reverse or by liked or most recently played.

Another improvement I noticed is that I can tap the 3 dots associated with a song in Qobuz or Tidal playlists and now there is the ability to go to Artist or Album
