Hi there sent you an email and PM, see previous post 
Hi Mark,
After the G4 update, Antipodes stated that they would focus on software updates, but throughout 2025 no updates were released.
By the way, after registering I can’t see any indication that my K50 has received a G4 upgrade
There are no upgrades available currently, these will be released later in the year, if you click on the Upgrade Button in Circle it gives the current status.
We haven’t moved previous information over to Circle.
Circle is the beginning of a much improved and advanced system for support.

The new K50, does it have two computer boards? And the new K20 is on the backside a K25…
All registered in " The Circle" This is great !!!
Maybe when we know, someone can post what this upgrade is going to be and will it be big enough, that I ditch either my EX or CX instead of owning a 2 box solution ?.
Cheers Everyone.
@MarkCole A few months have past since the company announcement. I have read in a different forum one Oladra owner was given information that his Oladra would be upgraded to a Sentia. without shedding light on the prices at this point, I am wondering if you could share some physical upgrade details, as far as the above quote regarding chassis options ?
-
In regards to the Oladra G4: Will there be an Oladra G5 option, with the same case?
or is the Oladra G4 upgrade specifically a trade-in for the Sentia or Presence only? -
For the K50 G2/G3/G4 to a K50 G5 is the new case mandatory? Or is one of the options retaining the existing case?
Currently the electronic component market is facing several challenges, including unpredictable lead times, volatile pricing, and supply chain disruptions.
This has led to the delay in announcing and releasing new products to market, additionally has impacted our plans for upgrades and the upgrade program.
We are mindful of pricing, right now components are ridiculously expensive with components doubling in price with some quadrupling, these costs would need to be passed on, with that in mind we have hit pause, additionally it would be prudent to upgrade without the cost of additional casework as that would be cost prohibitive.
Right now, we are working on solidifying the supply of OLADRA Presence and Sentia to the market, we will make further announcements in due course.

Thanks for the response @MarkCole.
This is impacting every industry that purchases electronic components. It’s insane.
I’m curious to hear more about the causes of volatile pricing and supply chain issues. That sort of talk was common during Covid yrs. I wonder why the component market is being affected. Just trying to be enlightened with this sort of information. Cheers
I am no global economy expert, but I am quite sure the true reason and answer to that question will risk this thread becoming political. Read between the lines.

RAM, SSDs, microprocessors are used for Data Centrers for AI… so crazy prices and availability for us “humans” almost zero !!
“Unlike the 2020–2023 global chip shortage, which stemmed primarily from pandemic-related supply chain disruptions from COVID-19, this shortage is driven by the intentional reallocation of manufacturing capacity toward highly profitable products intended for AI data center development, creating a scarcity of integrated circuits intended for the consumer and enterprise markets.”

Hi Mark,
I run a CX (G3) on which I am using both RJ45 ethernet ports - one for the network and one to go direct to my Linn Selekt Edition.
This combination is sounding excellent, especially since I did the direct connection and I previously replaced the SSD with a Samsung 893, and attended to the mains power and ethernet cabling.
Will the Gen 5 upgrade to the CX and other older servers still have two ethernet ports or will it be reduced to one ?
Also when can we expect an announcement on the Gen 5 upgrade availability and pricing ?
Many Thanks
Maybe news on the software updates?
It’s been a long times since the previous one was released after all
