Current Version: 7.0 (Released on 21st May 2020)

About This Release:

• 21st May 2020

Please make sure you do not reboot or turn off the unit during the update of boot code, or else the unit will no longer be able to boot up (will have to return to factory for flashing the boot code).

New Features:

• Add CD playback and CD ripping feature (for ARIES, ARIES LE, ALTAIR, POLARIS, ARIES G1/G2, ALTAIR G1). Please refer to our community thread for operation instruction and USB CD drive choice: https://community.auralic.com/t/firmware-7-x-cd-playback-ripping/5846
• Add French language for device interface.

Improvement:

• Device display will have a popup window when you change volume, select tracks or doing any transport relating operations for "Artwork only" and "Text only".
• Optimize OTA firmware upgrade procedure.

Fixes:

• Unable to log in TIDAL account inside 3rd party OpenHome control software.
• Some popup dialog won't show up properly on device display.
• VEGA G1/G2 can not be discovered via Linn Kazoo. This issue is because VEGA G1/G2 do not have Songcast function. Kazoo will detect device if they have Songcast, if not then it will not show up. We have to add a fake Songcast in order to have Kazoo discover the device. However this Songcast will show up under Lightning DS's Input channel but it wont have any real function.
• Intermittent playback drop under AirPlay on ALTAIR G1.
• Tracks maybe added at wrong position into device queue.
