Tried different OS because the annoying stuttering of the displayed waveforms. I’ve read loads of other posts and 2.2.2 seemed to be stable accordingly to other users.
And after a brief test it seems more stable, stuttered in the first seconds when starting “Jansons - Boxed” track, though. Waveform flickers some in the edges in 2.2.2, but it’s more acceptable than the stuttering in later OS.
Oh no, before going to post this I tried again and there is stuttering in this version too(six times “randomly” out of 32bars). Have they put bad parts in this unit, due to scarcity of parts during the pandemic?
And, back to 3.1.0: two stutters out on the first 32bars, and one more out of the following 32bars, without touching anything, “Boxed” track. Thirteen stutters out of the whole track, Deck 2 this time. Fourteen stutters out of the whole demo track Ansia, Deck 1.
I appreciate, first of all, aside from the nice feel and looks of the hardware and sound, the FX with EQ range in those latest OS(and those last firmware updates was a great deal of my decision to make a purchase) and don’t want to part with that. [And now when writing, it seems no worse with those later releases. Anyway, I wanted to tell you about what I like also.]
I’m both auditory AND visual(primarily) oriented so it’s very important to have the visual representation in order too, and I think the price demands it, it’s nothing pro(or even consumer standard) with stuttering waveforms.
Now, I have already traded some features for the sake of having a small standalone unit when chosing the Prime GO, however the stuttering problem was not calculated for, and if the issue will not be addressed I think I will sadly look for somehing else.
Summary:
Is it possible to make stutterfree OS, or is this issue hardware limitations of Prime GO?
Can we see an update in the near future, or is the Prime GO soon an abandoned product?
Please, Denon, reply to my questions!
FYI: Just playing those .m4a demo tracks, no Wifi, nothing connected except master out, and the main power. And the usual factory resets, and cycled reboots(2.2.2 has no factory reset only reset to default). Also, Send Anonymous Statistics is disabled, is it this working hard to phone home despite being disabled? All Services disabled. Well ventilated indoor area, no heat noticed.
