Hello All,
Play-Fi Version 6.3 broke my Paradigm Link
Link via toslink to Bifrost2 to studio monitors.
Before the launch of the new rev, I was able to stream at 24/192 from Amazon HD and my hi-res content on my NAS and SSD via ethernet cable.
After the firmware upgrade, I can only max it out at 24/96 if I try full resolution the link lags and crashes.
The presets only work if you have location enabled and running this app in the background really drains the battery, I have a new iPhone and it's ridiculous that I'm out of juice after an 8hr shift that was the whole point of getting the link that I can control the volume from a distance.
I'm returning the link and staying with USB unison, Play-fi and BluOs are not ready for us demanding customers.
Play-Fi is one of the biggest abominations in the history of audio and software. Paradigm really did a bad decision hitching on to this platform to be so critical for using their devices.
Also the Paradigm PW Link is not the best choice as just a streamer. Its relevance is only becaus it is the cheapest 2-channel ARC processor you can buy (which is limited to 48khz anyway on this box).
