Ok thanks
Good news.
Could we expect another step up in audio quality with this update with the old generation K50?
@Vampat It’s hard to answer your question directly, but it seems very likely, though limited to the hardware.
Oladra review & Interview with Mr. Mark Jenkins, Antipodes CEO and founder (SoundNews ; December 2024)
CC: Are you planning to venture into a software solution? Can you develop your playback solution with sound quality as a primary objective and Tidal/Qobuz streaming in mind? And if so, would it be possible to push such a software update on existing machines?
MJ: Yes, yes and yes. I wish that software development was as easy as that question was to answer, haha. We are progressing on all those fronts, but we emphasize the fundamentals first. We have been very focused so far on defining the user experience, using innovative ways to remove pain points, as well as laying a foundation for superior sound with our operating system. We are not in a hurry, and nor should we be with a project like this. This is by far the most extensive single software development program in our history.
The only impediments to rolling the software out to existing machines are if it requires increased processing power or if we need to rely on a specific chipset feature. If so, we will offer our customers ways to update their hardware, but nothing like that has arisen yet. I wish I could tell you more about what we have underway, but one thing you learn with software development is never to make predictions. I will say that I have a hypothesis that would involve a radical change to how music servers work, which ought to sound dramatically better, that can only be tested by building our own playback software.

@Vampat I am confused by your question, are you not on the AMS V5 yet? this is the information from my K50 G2:
Book a support session and they will upgrade it for you.
