If you are upgrading to AMSv5 and the progress is stuck at one point for 15 minutes, particularly at 66-67%, you have probably been timed out, and if you refresh the screen the process will attempt to connect again. Don’t do it repeatedly. Give it a chance to connect and make progress - say 10 to 15 minutes.

Deselected it in player and removed from server. All good so far up to 768k. I am having more instances of the chord white noise when changing 705-768 than with v4.
No it doesn’t work for me.
Hi,
I have a DX, after upgrading to 5, when I try to load a CD to rip, I get the error code "No CD Drive Available - Please add drive. ??
Successfully updated 
Player and server took under 30 mins each. Thanks for all the hard work that went into getting this release done.

Hi, I have deselected in player and deselected in the server but PGGB wont play. When yo say remove from server is that different to deselecting? Thanks

SOLVING 67% STOP ON UPGRADE PROGRESS.
I Also got stuck on 67%. for 1 hour.
To solve it:
- Go on “antipodes.online” on a new browser session;
- Near your Antipodes image, click “Open” to go on dashboard menu;
- Restarted the upgrade.
It worked for me. All went fine on this second attempt and upgrade done.
No need for online support.

Im in the same boat. If I had read the details before updating (I just saw there was an update ready in the dashboard) I wouldnt have updated.
I now want to go back to v4, so that I dont have to pay for an HQPlayer 5 licence. Not even sure the AMS5 update even benefits EX/CX (Oladra) users? Seems that I have to pay £280 so that I can be in the same position that I was in yesterday sonically 
AMSv5 benefits all users, it is the beginning of further software development for Antipodes Audio and brings a number of enhancements, including ones which on the face of it don’t seem important, but are, such as new OS brings improved security.
See this post for further information…
Antipodes Audio has no control over what Signalyst do and what they charge and what devices they choose to support.
HQPlayer is a constantly evolving bit of software.
With our new software stack we will able to bring in third party app updates in a much more timely fashion.

The update went off without a hitch.
Chose to perform the update via wired desktop.
Within an hour, both updates were complete.
After the update, it took a while for Roon and Squeeze to re-generate the library.
Although HQplayer required a $5 update to use it, I chose to run the update anyway.
For now, I am very happy with Squeeze player.

Isn’t this the same as dragging the scroll bar above left to the furthest point right (loud icon)? It seems to m this "fixes the volume. Or does this have a different effect? 
That’s very cool, and thanks for pointing that out, @kennyb123 . I’d resigned to listening to my few DSD files on Roon only. Is it OK to set DSD to DoP? That’s how I have it set for Roon. Thx
I too had a seamless update. Using my hard wired Mac Studio both of my units updated in less than an hour. I DO find some glitches with Squeeze relating to cover art mis-matching and such. I have found that re-scanning and even a reset or two helps.
Just curious: do you guys hear any sonic improvement? Or is it my imagination? Reading an article on the Antipodes home site, there are plans later this year that promise SQ improvements though I don’t see any mention of it with the release.
If your DAC supports native DSD, then that’s what you should choose. Many DACs do not so DoP was created. This basically packs DSD into PCM. This comes with a bit of overhead.
Thanks @kennyb123 I believed (and just confirmed) my Tambaqui DAC supports native DSD, but via USB ONLY, it appears Now I recall why I was (apparently) directed to choose DoP for the purpose of streaming DSD files . Pls see this as I am using AES : SUPPORTED FORMATS
PCM up to 384kHz/32 bits (>192kHz and >24 bits via USB and Roon only)
DoP and Native DSD up to quad speed (USB and Roon only). Mola Mola
@MarkCole I believe has the same DAC, albeit imbedded in the Makua. He could confirm, if he’s not too swamped and inundated at the moment. I know it is a frenetic and crazy time for all the folks at Antipodes. I’m totally cool about leaving my DSD set to DoP IF it is indeed supported. That IS an extra bonus!

AES is DoP only as the spec only covers PCM transmission.
