Hi hshrader,

We will be including full play/pause/skip support for the bridge input for the remote in the next DSj code release.

Matt, is a display timeout setting planned for the next DS release?

63

Mine works like that just fine for a while…but after X amount of time all of those functions stop working and I have to power cycle the DSD to get them back.

brett66,

I assume you don’t mean the Junior because it already has an option for display timeouts. There isn’t an option in products with a graphical LCD display like the DS DAC. Instead you get that functionality from the ‘DIM’ button on the IR remote control.

Yes, DS Sr. A few months ago, I asked the question and Ted replied that he and Paul didn’t understand each other but do now regarding a display timeout option for Sr. Paul said it should make in the next build.

I currently use dim to turn it off, but would rather it go off after say 5 secs.

Ah yes, I experienced the problem when I had a Jr. for eval. Liked it so much I got a Sr.

@mattc

Thanks for the update! Would be helpful if advance/back, play/paused worked when the display is sleeping. For the DS J - when the screen is asleep, you click once to wake and then again to advance the track. Minor issue to be sure, but as long as you are working on this, please consider.

“Mine works like that just fine for a while…but after X amount of time all of those functions stop working and I have to power cycle the DSD to get them back.”

Exactly what mine does.

Any update?

@Paul

Seriously, any update?

Sorry, been on vacation and other miserable lame excuses for not answering when I should have. Sorry.

Barry’s been working non-stop and has ferreted out a number of bugs and the testing we’ve done is certainly showing promise. Still quirky but much, much better. Should have another interim improvement release ready at month’s end.

Thank you for the update.

75

Thanks for the update, for now what setting do we need to have the DSJ set up as?

76

“Decoder Only”.

77

If you do not use any DSP settings in Roon, then it works just fine. This includes Volume Leveling - which is not under DSP settings, but in Zone Settings.

With the updated Bridge II on the DS Jr, i have lost the ability to advance /retreat Roon playing tracks from the PS Audio remote (P3 remote is my preference). Matt indicated that Play/Pause functionality would be included in the next “code” release. Was that the Bridge II update or something different.

In any case, has this present and proposed functionality has been lost in the Bridge II upgrade? @mattc

79

After I updated Bridge II Roon starts to load then disappears. Roon was working before the update. Windows 10.

@mattc Dear Matt, i am reposting in case this was overlooked. Thanks!

I am having similar problems with Roon and BridgeII. I have added the latest firmware update to the BridgeII on my Directstream and I have set it to “Decoder” only, as suggested by others in this forum. Unfortunately, the BridgeII will disappear as an output device in the Roon core after roughly 10-20 minutes of listening to audio. Restarting Roon does not solve the problem (the BridgeII is still missing as an output device). Only a hard boot of the Direcstream solves the problem. I have done this many times already today, so it has made the system unusable.

Interesting to note, the same is now true of mControl on iOS. Before, I could stream from Tidal masters directly to the BridgeII. However, now, after listening for about 5 minutes, the connection drops and the BridgeII disappears from the network. I need to hard boot to reset it.

I suspect the BridgeII firmware update has cocked something up and hope that this is fixed soon.
